Random Thoughts......Questioning Techniques
As we focus on Assessment for Learning in our Building Plan, we need a laser sharp focus in our questioning techniques. One attribute from Assessment for Learning is ELICITING EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK. A guide to help move students to deep conceptualization is Webb's Depth of Knowledge (DoK).
Level 1: Recall and
Reproduction
Tasks at this level
require recall of facts or rote application of simple procedures. The task does
not require any cognitive effort beyond remembering the right response or
formula. Copying, computing, defining, and recognizing are typical Level 1
tasks.
Level 2: Skills and
Concepts
At this level, a student
must make some decisions about his or her approach. Tasks with more than one
mental step such as comparing, organizing, summarizing, predicting, and
estimating are usually Level 2.
Level 3: Strategic
Thinking
At this level of
complexity, students must use planning and evidence, and thinking is more
abstract. A task with multiple valid responses where students must justify
their choices would be Level 3. Examples include solving non-routine problems,
designing an experiment, or analyzing characteristics of a genre.
Level 4: Extended
Thinking
Level 4 tasks require the
most complex cognitive effort. Students synthesize information from multiple
sources, often over an extended period of time, or transfer knowledge from one
domain to solve problems in another. Designing a survey and interpreting the
results, analyzing multiple texts by to extract themes, or writing an original
myth in an ancient style would all be examples of Level 4.
Practical Examples or Ways to Apply in Your Classroom:
You may be thinking, "How is this different than Bloom's Taxonomy?" This is a natural comparision to make.

Technology Tip of the Week
Protect Your Home Computer By Using Strong Passwords and
Never Reusing Passwords.
Your home computer often holds extremely important data. You can protect your home computer thorough the use of a strong password, such as a long password that contains a variety of special characters. Changing your password often also increases your security. Never use your work password for your home computer, as this can represent a security risk for both yourself and your organization.
