Learning disciplinary-practices through abstraction at progressive levels (LEAP):

LEAP describes a model of a typical learning pathway for developing proficiency in disciplinary practices. Execution of a disciplinary practice includes a set of cognitive processes that underlie a domain task, intertwined with a set of monitoring and control processes, applied periodically to meet the goals. In addition to the cognitive process, the development of a disciplinary practice, also requires the execution of a set of metacognitive processes that are needed for abstracting the overall sequence of cognitive processes necessary for doing the practice in novel, but similar situations.
