Wiig Model

Wiig's model defines five levels of internalization of knowledge - novice, beginner, competent, expert, and master - based on awareness and ability to use and reason with knowledge. A novice is unaware of available knowledge, while a master fully internalizes knowledge, understanding its values and consequences. Wiig also proposes a hierarchy consisting of public, shared, and personal forms of knowledge, which may include factual, conceptual, expectational, and methodological types.

Wiig's model attempts to define different levels of internationalization of knowledge and

therefore could be seen as a further refinement of the fourth Nonaka and Takeuchi quadrant of
internalization. The levels of internalization span the classifications of novice, beginner,
competent, expert, and master. A novice is unaware of the knowledge available and how it can
be used. A beginner knows that knowledge exist and where to get it but cannot reason with it.
The competent knower knows about the knowledge, can use and reason with the knowledge
given external knowledge bases such as documents and people to help. The expert knows the
knowledge, holds the knowledge in memory, understands where it applies, reasons with it
without outside help. The master internalizes the knowledge fully, has a deep understanding with
full integration into values, and consequences of using that knowledge (Dalkir, 2011, p.80).

Wiig (1993) also proposes a hierarchy of knowledge that consists of public, shared, and personal
knowledge forms. Each form might include four types of knowledge: factual, conceptual,
expectational and methodological (Dalkir, 2011, pp.80-81).
