How Do You Know When You Have Actually Developed a Skill?
Completing a course is evidence of learning activity. It is not necessarily evidence of skill.
You can perform the task
You can actually produce the expected output.
You can repeat the performance
One successful attempt may be luck. Consistency provides stronger evidence.
You need less assistance
Increasing independence suggests development.
You can handle variation
You can adapt when the problem changes slightly.
Your quality improves
Results become more accurate, useful, clear, efficient, or reliable.
You can explain your decisions
Understanding why you made a choice is particularly important for complex skills. Skill is better demonstrated by performance evidence than by self-description alone.
Knowing your skills is useful. Understanding where those skills come from, which abilities may support them, and where they can take you gives you a much clearer picture.
