An understanding of the limits to their own knowledge and ability, and an appreciation of the uncertainty, ambiguity, and limits to knowledge and how this might influence analysis and interpretations
Recognizing the limits of one’s knowledge and abilities is part of metacognition (the critical awareness of one’s thinking). Metacognitive practices can promote awareness of one’s strengths and weaknesses, and can play an important role in expanding knowledge and improving performance. Understanding one’s limits also involves a sense of responsibility towards oneself, one’s colleagues and one’s community. Awareness of one’s limits may be fostered by self-examination of one’s thinking and learning, by exposure to other disciplines and advanced fields, and by placing knowledge into a broader global context. Graduates should appreciate the potential impact of their limits to job performance and decision-making abilities.
