ADAPTIVE EXPERTIZE AMONG YOUNG TEACHERS
ADAPTIVE EXPERTIZE AMONG YOUNG TEACHERS

Summary/Abstract: The main concepts connected to adaptive expertize are flexibility, ability to innovate, efficiency, continuous learning, seeking out challenges and creativity (Carbonell, Stalmeijer, Könings, Segers, & van Merrienboer, 2014; Opre, 2015). Fallowing the idea that professional expertize develops on a continuum and there is not such a thing as novice and experts in a field, Anthony and his colleagues (2015) propose the distinction between routine and adaptive expertise as a component of professionalism. The aim of the present article is to describe the construct of adaptive expertize in the teaching profession and the first shifts in the development of adaptive expertize among young teachers. Best training characteristics fostering the development of adaptive expertize as well as the impact of professional communities are also addressed.
