If a student can perform a skill without mistakes but only in a limited setting, what level of the psychomotor domain are they at?

In the context of the psychomotor domain, when a student can perform a skill without mistakes but only in a limited setting, they are demonstrating characteristics of the "Precision" level. At this stage, a learner can execute learned skills accurately and with precision, but the context in which they can do so is confined and may not represent real-world variability or complexity.

This level indicates that while the student has attained a good level of skill execution, their competence is still tethered to specific conditions or environments, lacking the adaptability that comes with higher levels of mastery. This contrasts with the competencies found at the "Articulation" and "Naturalization" levels, where students show versatility in their skills and can adapt to different situations seamlessly. The distinction is essential for instructors to understand, as it guides the development of further training objectives to elevate a student’s proficiency beyond limited settings.
