Dimensions of Learning is a comprehensive model that uses what researchers and theorists know about learning to define the learning process. Its premise is that five types of thinking -- what we call the five dimensions of learning
-
Dimension 1: Attitudes and Perceptions
-
For example, if students view the classroom as an unsafe and disorderly place, they will likely learn little there.
-
Dimension 2: Acquire and Integrate Knowledge
-
. When students are learning new information, they must be guided in relating the new knowledge to what they already know, organizing that information, and then making it part of their long-term memory.
-
Dimension 3: Extend and Refine Knowledge
-
They rigorously analyze what they have learned by applying reasoning processes that will help them extend and refine the information.
-
Dimension 4: Use Knowledge Meaningfully
-
Making sure that students have the opportunity to use knowledge meaningfully is one of the most important parts of planning a unit of instruction.
-
- Systems analysis
-
The most effective learners have developed powerful habits of mind that enable them to think critically, think creatively, and regulate their behavior.
-
One reason that the Dimensions of Learning model was created was to influence the planning of curriculum and assessment, both at the classroom and the district level. It is particularly suited to planning instructional units and creating assessments that are clearly aligned with curriculum, including both conventional and performance instruments.

Although Dimensions is certainly not the only model of learning, it is a powerful tool for ensuring that learning is the focus of what we do as educators.
-
It is particularly suited to planning instructional units and creating assessments that are clearly aligned with curriculum,
-
Those who use the Dimensions model to influence their assessment practices quickly realize instruction and assessment are closely integrated but that both conventional and performance-based methods of assessment have a role.

Trevor BonatDOL articulates clear areas of instruction that improve teaching and learning. This is all research-based and effective. Downside is that the main consulting firm is in Denver. We would also have to come up with a framework for evaluation, etc., I bet.
