“The DSDM, as presented, is a very impressive and thorough framework that puts into words what many separate theories have articulated in a single easily applicable model. This metatheodel allows researchers and practitioners to draw conclusions on students’ experiences as it relates to behavior, cognition, and affect. These three domains affect students’ meaning making of their experience and with the DSDM and evidenced-based model, higher education is able to improve the growth, learning, and development of students.”—Matthew Varga, Assistant Professor of Counselor Education and College Student Affairs, West Georgia University
