SOLO TAXONOMY
Quick Links
SOLO Taxonomy (structure of observed learning outcomes) provides a simple, reliable and robust model for three levels of understanding – surface, deep and conceptual (Biggs and Collis 1982).
Pam Hook has developed a classroom based approach to the use of SOLO to make learning visible to students and to support them to deepen their learning. The power of SOLO is that it clearly identifies to the student, where they are at and what they need to do to show a deeper level of understanding. The focus is on the complexity of the structure of the students response, rather than labelling the student.
When students' learning is aligned to the SOLO levels, it will be at one of the 5 levels.
