Abstract
The concept of the ‘expert student’ has been considered for some time (e.g. Sternberg, 1998, 2003). Here I am considering the expert student in the context of knowledge creation and the ways in which learning approaches can utilize disciplinary knowledge structures in order to develop authentic understanding and practice.
