| Abstract | Existing research indicates much of the information experts possess is highly automated and thus not available when they attempt to describe their own approach to solving problems to others. Despite this obvious shortcoming, we continue to call upon experts to provide their knowledge and skills for curriculum development, teaching, and training. This study used cognitive task analysis (CTA) to examine specifically the omission of decisions by medical experts when describing central venous catheter placement (CVC). Decisions were analyzed at three different points. The experts’ initial decision utilized indications and contraindications to determine if CVC was to be performed, followed by decision steps throughout the CVC procedure. Lastly, each decision step consists of multiple alternatives from which a single selection is made. The results showed that experts omitted 39.58% of indications and contraindications, 34.52% of decision steps, and 72.86% of alternatives. Practical guidelines to enhance the contributions from experts and implications for future instructional design are discussed. |
