Add Depth of Knowledge levels to Actively Learn assignments to increase rigor.

Tags

The Depth of Knowledge Levels added to questions will be reflected in reports. Teachers can easily track and show the growth of students' understanding of an individual assignment from start to end.

What do individual DoK Levels help you assess? 

  • Level 1: Recall -  

Focus here is on specific facts, information, details, and procedures e.g specific definitions, details, and applying simple steps. 

  • Level 2: Skills and Concepts -

Processing of conceptual knowledge, comparing and contrasting, extracting main points, interpreting facts, etc. More content knowledge is required here than in Level 1. Actions require more than one step. 

  • Level 3: Strategic Thinking -  

Focus is on reasoning based on deep knowledge: which includes understanding and rationalizing thoughts and manifesting them into achievable steps. E.g Drawing conclusions from Examples, citing evidence to support a logical argument, and concept-based explanations. 

  • Level 4: Extended Thinking -

The focus is on applying complex reasoning, experimental design, and planning over an extended period of time. It requires extended investigation (research) and time to process information and problem-solving. Students are required to make multiple connections, relate ideas to the specific content area(s), and select an approach from among many as a solution.
