1 Levels of Thinking in Bloom s Taxonomy and Webb s Depth of Knowledge Bloom s Old Version (1956) Bloom s New Version (1990 s) Webb s DOK (2002) Bloom's six major categories were changed from noun to verb forms in the new version which was developed in the 1990 s and released in The knowledge level was renamed as remembering. Comprehension was retitled understanding, and synthesis was renamed as creating. In addition, the top two levels of Bloom s changed position in the revised version. Bloom s Taxonomy Revised Bloom s Taxonomy Knowledge Remembering Recall appropriate information. Comprehension Understanding Grasp the meaning of material. Application Applying Use learned material in new and concrete situations. Analysis Analyzing Break down material into component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood. Synthesis Evaluating Put parts together to form a new whole. Make judgments based on criteria and standards. Evaluation Creating (Previously Synthesis) Judge value of material Put elements together to form a for a given purpose. coherent or functional whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning, or producing. Norman L. Webb of Wisconsin Center for Educational Research generated DOK levels to aid in alignment analysis of curriculum, objectives, standards, and assessments. Webb s Depth of Knowledge & Corresponding Verbs *Some verbs could be classified at different levels depending on application. Recall and Reproduction Correlates to Bloom s 2 Lowest Levels Recall a fact, information, or procedure. arrange, calculate, define, draw, identify, list, label, illustrate, match, measure, memorize, quote, recognize, repeat, recall, recite, state, tabulate, use, tell who what when where why Skill/Concept Engages mental process beyond habitual response using information or conceptual knowledge. Requires two or more steps. apply, categorize, determine cause and effect, classify, collect and display, compare, distinguish, estimate, graph, identify patterns, infer, interpret, make observations, modify, organize, predict, relate, sketch, show, solve, summarize, use context clues Strategic Thinking Requires reasoning, developing plan or a sequence of steps, some complexity, more than one possible answer, higher level of thinking than previous 2 levels. apprise, assess, cite evidence, critique, develop a logical argument, differentiate, draw conclusions, explain phenomena in terms of concepts, formulate, hypothesize, investigate, revise, use concepts to solve non routine problems Extended Thinking Correlates to Bloom s 2 Highest Levels Requires investigation, complex reasoning, planning, developing, and thinking probably over an extended period of time. *Longer time period is not an applicable factor if work is simply repetitive and/or does not require higher order thinking. analyze, apply concepts, compose, connect, create, critique, defend, design, evaluate, judge, propose, prove, support, synthesize Debbie Perkins, 2008

2 COGNITIVE COMPLEXITY BLOOM S TAXONOMY KNOWLEDGE The recall of specifics and universals, involving little more than bringing to mind the appropriate material COMPREHENSION Ability to process knowledge on a low level such that the knowledge can be reproduced or communicated without a verbatim repetition. APPLICATION The use of abstractions in concrete situations. ANALYSIS The breakdown of a situation into its component parts. SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION Putting together elements & parts to form a whole, then making value judgments about the method. WEBB S DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE Recall Recall of a fact, information, or procedure (e.g., What are 3 critical skill cues for the overhand throw?) Basic Application of Skill/Concept Use of information, conceptual knowledge, procedures, two or more steps, etc. (e.g., Explain why each skill cue is important to the overhand throw. By stepping forward you are able to throw the ball further. ) Strategic Thinking Requires reasoning, developing a plan or sequence of steps; has some complexity; more than one possible answer; generally takes less than 10 minutes to do (e.g., Design 2 different plays in basketball and explain what different skills are needed and when the plays should be carried out.) Extended Thinking Requires an investigation; time to think and process multiple conditions of the problem or task; and more than 10 minutes to do non-routine manipulations (e.g., Analyze 3 different tennis, racquetball, and badminton strokes for similarities, differences, and purposes. Then, discuss the relationship between the mechanics of the stroke and the strategy for using the stroke during game play.)

3 Depth of Knowledge Consistency Measures the degree to which the knowledge elicited from students on assessments is as complex as what students are expected to know and do as stated in the curriculum/gles/show-me Standards

4 Depth of Knowledge Level 1 Recall Recall of a fact, information, or procedure. Level 2 Skill/Concept Use information or conceptual knowledge, two or more steps, etc. Level 3 Strategic Thinking Requires reasoning, developing plan or a sequence of steps, some complexity, more than one possible answer. Level 4 Extended Thinking Requires an investigation, time to think and process multiple conditions of the problem. wat/tilsa%20dissemination%20webb%20presentation%20for%20training%20%20july%2024%20% ppt#286,12,s lide 12

7 When assigning the DOK level, consider the level of work students are most commonly required to perform the complexity of the task, rather than its difficulty. The DOK level describes the kind of thinking involved in a task, not the likelihood that the task will be completed correctly. the complete domain of items that would be appropriate for completing the task. Identify the DOK level of the most common of these items. If there is a question regarding which of two levels an objective addresses, it is usually appropriate to select the higher of the two levels. Adapted from page 36 of Web Alignment Tool (WAT) Training Manual Norman L. Webb and others

8 Why Depth of Knowledge? Mechanism to ensure that the intent of the standard and the level of student demonstration required by that standard matches the assessment items (required under NCLB) DOK is a tool to ensure that teachers are teaching to a level that will promote student achievement 4

9 6

10 DOK Levels Webb's Depth of Knowledge levels: 5

11 DOK Level 1: Recall and Reproduction Basic recall of concepts, definitions, facts, and processes Answering a Level 1 item can involve following a simple, well-known procedure or formula Simple skills and abilities or recall characterize DOK 1 7

12 Locate or recall facts found in text Apply a well known formula Use a dictionary to find the meaning of words Represent math relationships in words, pictures, or symbols Perform a simple science process or a set of procedures Southern Nevada RPDP 8

13 DOK Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts DOK 2 includes the engagement of some mental processing beyond recalling or reproducing a response. Items require students to make some decisions as to how to approach the question or problem. These actions imply more than one mental or cognitive process/step. Southern Nevada RPDP 9

14 Identify and summarize the major events, problem, solution, conflicts in literary text Explain the cause-effect of historical events Predict a logical outcome based on information in a reading selection Retrieve information from a table, graph, or figure and use it to solve a problem requiring multiple steps. Southern Nevada RPDP 10

15 Level 3: Strategic Thinking DOK 3 requires deep understanding as exhibited through planning, using evidence, and more demanding cognitive reasoning. The cognitive demands at Level 3 are complex and abstract. An assessment item that has more than one possible answer and requires students to justify the response they give would most likely be a Level 3. 11

16 Compare consumer actions and analyze how these actions impact the environment Analyze or evaluate the effectiveness of literary elements (e.g. characterization, setting, point of view, conflict and resolution, plot structures) Solve a multiple-step problem and provide support with a mathematical explanation that justifies the answer 12

17 Develop a scientific model for a complex idea Justify a response when more than one answer is possible Propose and evaluate solutions for an economic problem 13

18 Level 4: Extended Thinking DOK 4 requires high cognitive demand and is very complex. An investigation or application that requires time to research, think or process multiple conditions of the problem. Students are expected to make non-routine manipulations or connections across disciplines/content areas/multiple sources. Due to the complexity of cognitive demand, DOK 4 requires an extended period of time. NOT TESTED ON THE CRT or HSPE 14

19 Gather, analyze, organize, and synthesize information from multiple sources to draft a reasoned report Analyze and explain multiple perspectives or issues within or across time periods, events, or cultures Specify a problem, identify solution paths, solve the problem, and report the results Write and produce an original play 15

20 However, extended time alone is not the distinguishing factor of a Level 4. Task Thinking Collecting data samples over several months Recall Organizing the data in a chart Skills/ Using this chart to make and justify predictions concepts Strategic Thinking Developing a generalized model from this data and applying it to a new situation Extending Thinking Southern Nevada RPDP 16

21 18

22 Is DOK different from Bloom s Taxonomy? The Depth of Knowledge is NOT determined by the verb, but the context in which the verb is used and the depth of thinking required. 19

23 DOK 3- Describe a model that you might use to represent the relationships that exist within the rock cycle. (Requires deep understanding of rock cycle and a determination of how best to represent it) DOK 2- Describe the difference between metamorphic and igneous rocks. (Requires cognitive processing to determine the differences in the two rock types) DOK 1- Describe three characteristics of metamorphic rocks. (Simple recall) Same verb used at all three DOK levels 20

24 DL on DOK Levels DOK levels can be cumulative An item/standard written to DOK 3 often contains DOK 1 and DOK 2 level demands Not all standards can be assessed at a level 3 or 4. DOK 1 + DOK 1 DOK 2 Field tested in 2009 and implemented in

25 To Summarize Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is a scale of cognitive demand. DOK requires looking at the assessment item/standard in order to determine the level. DOK is about the item/standard-not the students ability. The context of the assessment item/standard must be considered to determine the DOK- not just a look at what verb was chosen. 22
