Decoding the Disciplines

Decoding the Disciplines is a process for increasing student learning by narrowing the gap between expert and novice thinking. Beginning with the identification of bottlenecks to learning in particular disciplines, it seeks to make explicit the tacit knowledge of experts and to help students master the mental actions they need for success in particular courses.

History

Decoding the Disciplines has been pioneered by Joan Middendorf and David Pace at Indiana University.
