Levels of Complexity in Education

It is a classification of thinking organized by levels of complexity.

• Bloom’s Taxonomy

•   John Dewey’s Theory

•    Pedagogical Method

• Transformative Learning Theory

The man who headed up the original committee of researchers and educators who developed the original taxonomy throughout the 1950s and 60s.

• Benjamin Bloom

• Jonathan Bloom

• Lorin Bloom

• Orlando Bloom

In 1956, there were six categories in Bloom's Taxonomy then later revised in 2001. Name the six revised Bloom's Taxonomy.

• knowledge, comprehension, application (of the knowledge acquired), synthesis, analysis, and evaluation

• remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating

• Experiential learning, Social learning and interaction, Collaborative learning, Critical reflection, Curriculum integration, and World experience.

• Knowledge, remembering, application, interaction, creating and evaluating

The structure of observed learning outcomes taxonomy is a model that describes levels of increasing complexity in students' understanding of subjects. It was proposed by John B. Biggs and Kevin F. Collis.

• HOTS

• LOTS

• OSLO

• SOLO

SOLO taxonomy consists of five levels, namely

• prestructural level, unstructured level, multicultural level, relational level, and extended abstract

• prestructural level, multi structural level, doblestructural level, relational level, and absolute abstract

• prelims level, midterm level, structural level, semifinal level, and final level

• knowledge level, application level, comprehension level, synthesis level, and evaluation level

What is the difference between SOLO and Bloom’s taxonomy?

• Bloom's cognitive taxonomy is a concept about teaching and learning based on research on student learning whereas, SOLO is a traditional taxonomy that focuses on knowledge based on the judgments of educational administrators.

What could be a unistructural response to the question, “ Do you think it will rain soon?”

• Yes, it always rains on Saturday.

• I think it will rain because there are clouds over there and they are dark looking and the wind is coming from that direction and …

• I think it will rain because there are many clouds in the sky.

• Yes, I think so. The clouds look very dark over there and the wind is getting stronger, and the air feels different. It rained yesterday and the weather seems very similar now.
