"The Model of Domain Learning is a must-read book for anyone interested in conducting research on, or learning about, learning across contexts and ages. Fives and Dinsmore bring together a set of chapters by leading researchers regarding the research and theoretical base of the Model of Domain Learning (MDL), which is timely and unique, while powerful commentaries supplement the perspectives and knowledge contained in these outstanding chapters. Alexander’s MDL has informed our research for years, and this book further informs not only our work but the work of all researchers interested in how knowledge, strategic processing, and interest develop over time."—Karen R. Harris, Mary Emily Warner Professor of Education at Arizona State University, USA"The Model of Domain Learning provides a shining example of the iterative process of using theory to construct a model and then conducting rigorous, systematic, empirical research to inform revisions to that model. Researchers familiar with the MDL will appreciate the utility of this compendium while those new to the MDL, from areas as diverse as cognitive science, literacy, technology, and discipline-based education, will benefit from the introduction this volume provides."—Gale M. Sinatra, Associate Dean for Research and Professor of Education and Psychology at the University of Southern California, USA
