Uncovering tacit knowledge of writing a thesis statement

Abstract

The Decoding the Disciplines method serves as a guide for identifying learning and teaching bottlenecks, understanding reasons for the occurrence of these bottlenecks and finding different ways to overcome these bottlenecks. This article describes the process of the application of the Decoding the Disciplines method which was used to uncover the teacher’s expert knowledge on how a thesis statement should be written. The teacher’s in-depth reflections and metacognition allowed to uncover tacit knowledge and overcome a bottleneck of teaching and learning the writing of a thesis statement.
