Levels Of Thinking Of SOLO Taxonomy

SOLO (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes) is a model of learning that helps develop a common understanding & language of learning that helps teachers (and students) understand the learning process.In pairs arrange the five statements about assessment for learning in order of understanding
  “SOLO Taxonomy provides a simple and healthy way of describing how learning outcomes grow in complexity from surface to deep understanding”(Biggs & Collis 1982 )
1- Surface Level Thinking.
Unistructural and multistructural questions test students’ surface thinking. (Lower-Order Thinking Skills). (LOTS).
2- Deep Level Thinking.
Relational and extended abstract questions test deep thinking. (Higher-Order Thinking Skills). (HOTS).
Use of Solo allows us to balance the cognitive demand of the questions we ask and to support students into deeper thinking and metacognition.
