Macro level

The macro level of the PSLC theoretical framework focuses mostly on identifying the conditions where robust learning occurs. It is based on observable conditions, activities and results, as opposed to the micro level which focuses on unobservables such as knowledge components and learning events.

The current organization for the macro level is hierarchical:

• Root node
  • Sense-making
    • Coordinative Learning
    • Interactive Communication
  • Refinement and Fluency

A multidimensional framework has also been proposed.
