DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
We are asking for more cognitive demandfrom our students…
• The kind and level of thinking required of students to successfully engage with and solve a task.
• Ways in which students interact with content.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD ACTIVITY
Your class has just read some version of Little Red Riding Hood.
• What is a basic comprehension question you might ask?
• What is a more rigorous question you might ask?
Now let’s apply your rigor definition…
WHAT IS DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE?

DOK IS NOT ABOUT
DIFFICULTY; ITS ABOUT COMPLEXIT
Y!It’s about the ways that our students’ interact with content!
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLOOM’S AND WEBB?
Bloom’s Taxonomy –What type of thinking (verbs) is needed to complete a task?
Webb’s Depth of Knowledge –How deeply do you have to understand the content to successfully interact with it? How complex is the content?
BLOOM’S TAXONOMY AND DOK
Extended
Thinking
Strategic Thinking
Skills and Concepts
Recall and Reproduction
DOK is not a
taxonomy!
“A mile wide and an inch deep”
WHAT DOES DOK FOCUS ON?
Focuses on complexity of content standards in order to successfully complete an assessment or
task. The outcome (product) is the focus of the depth of
understanding.
WHAT DOK IS NOT!!!!• a taxonomy (Bloom’s)• the same as difficulty• about using “verbs”
The Depth of Knowledge is NOT determined by the verb (Bloom’s Taxonomy), but by the context in which the verb is used and the depth of thinking required.
With DOK what comes after the verb is more important than the verb itself!
Webb’s Depth of
Knowledge (DOK)
Resource:http
://schools.nyc.gov/Academics/CommonCoreLibrary/ProfessionalLearning/DOK/default.htm
DOK-1 – Recall & Reproduction - Recall of a fact, term, principle, concept, or perform a routine procedure
DOK-2 - Basic Application of Skills/Concepts - Use of information, conceptual knowledge, select appropriate procedures for a task, two or more steps with decision points along the way, routine problems, organize/display data, interpret/use simple graphs
DOK-3 - Strategic Thinking - Requires reasoning, developing a plan or sequence of steps to approach problem; requires some decision making and justification; abstract, complex, or non-routine; often more than one possible answer
DOK-4 - Extended Thinking - An investigation or application to real world; requires time to research, problem solve, and process multiple conditions of the problem or task; non-routine manipulations, across disciplines/content areas/multiple sources
WEBB’S DEPTH-OF-KNOWLEDGE LEVELS
There is usually a
right answer!
The focus is on strategic thinking, so there can be
multiple right
answers!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD ACTIVITYREVISITED…
• DOK 1: Recall and Reproduction• DOK 2: Skills and Concepts• DOK 3: Strategic
Thinking/Reasoning• DOK 4: Extended Thinking
Where would your questions fall on each DOK Level?
THE COGNITIVE RIGOR MATRIX: LITTLE RED RIDING HOODDepth +
thinkingLevel 1
Recall & ReproductionLevel 2
Skills & ConceptsLevel 3
Strategic Thinking/ ReasoningLevel 4
Extended Thinking
Remember -Recall facts
Understand-Identify characters, setting, etc.
-Retell or summarize…
Apply
Analyze-Compare-contrast -Analyze multiple
texts/sources & using text evidence for support
Evaluate-Justify judgments using details/evidence from text
Create -Develop a creative summary
If there is only one correct answer, it is probably level DOK 1 or DOK 2 DOK 1: you either know it (can recall it, locate it, do it) or you
don’t DOK 2 (conceptual): apply one concept, then make a decision
before going on applying a second concept If more than one solution/approach, requiring evidence, it
is DOK 3 or 4 DOK 3: Must provide supporting evidence and reasoning (not
just HOW solved, but WHY – explain reasoning) DOK 4: all of “3” + use of multiple sources or texts
SOME GENERAL RULES OF THUMB…
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOUR CLASSROOM?
• English Language Arts• Mathematics• Science• Social Studies• Computers• Art• Vocational Education• Physical Education,
etc.
Depth + thinking
Level 1 Recall & Reproduction
Level 2Skills & Concepts
Level 3Strategic Thinking/ Reasoning Level 4
Extended Thinking
Remember-Recall, locate basic facts, details, events
Not appropriate at this level
Understand
-Select appropriate words to use when intended meaning is clearly evident
-Specify or explain relationships-summarize-identify central idea
-Explain, generalize, or connect ideas using supporting evidence (quote, example…)
-Explain how concepts or ideas specifically relate to other content domains or concepts
Apply
-Use language structure (pre/suffix) or word relationships (synonym/antonym) to determine meaning
-Use context to identify meaning of word-Obtain and interpret information using text features
-Use concepts to solve non-routine problems
-Devise an approach among many alternatives to research a novel problem
Analyze
-Identify whether information is contained in a graph, table, etc.
-Compare literary elements, terms, facts, events-analyze format, organization, & text structures
-Analyze or interpret author’s craft (literary devices, viewpoint, or potential bias) to critique a text
-Analyze multiple sources-Analyze complex/abstract themes
Evaluate-Cite evidence and develop a logical argument for conjectures
-Evaluate relevancy, accuracy, & completeness of information
Create-Brainstorm ideas about a topic -Generate conjectures based on
observations or prior knowledge-Synthesize information within one source or text
-Synthesize information across multiple sources or texts
The Hess Cognitive Rigor Matrix: Applies Webb’s DOK to Bloom’s Cognitive Process Dimensions
•Requires recall of information, such as a fact, definition, term, or performance of a simple process or procedure.
•Answering a Level 1 item can involve following a simple, well-known procedure or formula.
DOK LEVEL 1: RECALL AND REPRODUCTION
•List animals that survive by eating other animals• Locate or recall facts found in text• Describe physical features of places• Determine the perimeter or area of rectangles given a drawing or labels• Identify elements of music using music terminology• Identify basic rules for participating in simple games and activities
DOK LEVEL 2: SKILLS AND CONCEPTS
• 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
• Actions imply more than one mental or cognitive process/step
•Compare desert and tropical environments• Identify and summarize the major events, problems, solutions, conflicts in literary text• Explain the cause-effect of historical events• Predict a logical outcome based on information in a reading selection• Explain how good work habits are important at home, school, and on the job• Classify plane and three dimensional figures• Describe various styles of music
DOK LEVEL 3: STRATEGIC THINKING/ REASONING• Requires deep understanding exhibited through planning, using evidence, and more demanding cognitive reasoning
• The cognitive demands are complex and abstract
• An assessment item that has more than one possible answer and requires students to justify the response would most likely be a Level 3
•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
DOK LEVEL 4: EXTENDED THINKING
• Requires high cognitive demand and is very complex.
• Students are expected to make connections, relate ideas within the content or among content areas, and select or devise one approach among many alternatives on how the situation can be solved•Due to the complexity of cognitive demand, DOK 4 often requires an extended period of time
•Gather, analyze, organize, and interpret information from multiple (print and non print) sources to draft a reasoned report•Analyzing author’s craft (e.g., style, bias, literary techniques, point of view)•Create an exercise plan applying the “FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type) Principle”
