** Dimensions of Learning (DOL) ** is an instructional framework based on the premise that five types of thinking, what we call the five dimensions of learning, are essential to student learning and academic performance:

> >  >  >
 * Positive attitudes and perceptions about learning
 * Acquiring and integrating knowledge
 * Extending and refining knowledge
 * Using knowledge meaningfully
 * Productive habits of mind
