Overview

Fischer's dynamic skills

“Three adult levels (levels 10, 11, and 12) correspond to the abstract mappings (10), abstract systems (11), and single principles (12) levels of Fischer’s (1980 and 2006) dynamic skill scale” (Dawson and Heikkinen, 2009)

The Developmental spiral (Dawson & Heikkinen, 2009)

Fischers skill levels can be mapped to other work.

The relation between Fischer’s skill levels and the levels of other longitudinally validated systems. (Dawson & Heikkinen, 2009)
