Norman Webb, a Wisconsin research scientist and mathematics educator (1997)
There are four DOK levels, level 1 (recall), level 2 (skill/concept), level 3 (strategic thinking), and level 4 (extended thinking), and they are
applicable to all subject areas and at all grade levels, including college.

Complex thinking vs hard questions DOK is about complexity, not difficulty.
Hard: Name all the presidents of the United States beginning with George Washington. DOK 1
Complex: After a study on the American Revolution, research & explain reasons why George Washington did not want to be “king” of the United States. DOK 4

Academic Rigor in a Thinking Curriculum
The DOK level describes the kind of thinking involved in the task, not whether it will be completed correctly. A greater DOK level requires greater conceptual understanding and cognitive processing by the students. Therefore, on average, students who reach greater DOK levels more regularly will have increased student achievement.
