Description
Summary:This article describes the "dimensions" framework which can be used to plan instruction, coordinate the use of various programs, and select and plan staff development activities. The dimensions framework is built upon four principles of learning: 1) attitudes and perceptions affect learning, 2) learning involves acquisition of two kinds of information, 3) once acquired knowledge undergoes changes and 4) effective learners exhibit dispositions associated with critical, creative, and self-regulated thinking. The Dimensions model, which identifies five general types of thinking needed for effective learning, could eventually become the basis for a coordinated "curriculum" of preservice and inservice teacher education.
