2 Understanding Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Presented by Glen Henry OSDE 2

3 Just What Really is Depth of Knowledge? Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is a scale of cognitive demand. 3

4 Why DOK IS Important? Teachers of all subjects at all grade levels need to understand all DOK levels. 4

5 Why DOK IS Important! The range of cognitive demand for objectives within each grade spans from DOK 1 to DOK 4. 5

6 Level 1 Recall Depth of Knowledge Recall of a fact, information, or procedure. Level 2 Skill/Concept Use information or conceptual knowledge, two or more steps, etc. Level 3 Strategic Thinking Requires reasoning, developing plan or a sequence of steps, some complexity, more than one possible answer. Level 4 Extended Thinking Requires an investigation, time to think and process multiple conditions of the problem. 6

7 Why DOK IS Important! Instruction, assignments, and classroom assessments must incorporate the expectation of rigor for students associated with the DOK levels of all Fine Arts PASS standards and objectives. 7

9 Level One Activities Level Two Activities Recall elements and details of story structure, such as sequence of events, character, plot and setting. Conduct basic mathematical calculations. Label locations on a map Represent in words or diagrams a scientific concept or relationship Perform routine procedures like measuring length or using punctuation marks correctly. Describe the features of a place or people Identify and summarize the major events in a narrative. Use context cues to identify the meaning of unfamiliar words. Solve routine multiple-step problems. Describe the cause/effect of a particular event. Identify patterns in events or behavior. Formulate a routine problem given data and conditions. Organize, represent and interpret data. 9

10 Level Three Activities Level Four Activities Support ideas with details and examples. Use voice appropriate to the purpose and audience. Identify research questions and design investigations for a scientific problem. Develop a scientific model for a complex situation. Determine the author s purpose and describe how it affects the interpretation of a reading selection. Apply a concept in other contexts. Conduct a project that requires specifying a problem, designing and conducting an experiment, analyzing its data, and reporting results and/or solutions. Apply mathematical model to illuminate a problem or situation. Analyze and synthesize information from multiple sources. Describe and illustrate how common themes are found across texts from different cultures. Design a mathematical model to inform and solve a practical or abstract situation. 10

12 Beginning at the Beginning: What DOK is can best be explained by saying first what DOK is NOT. DOK is not a verb. DOK is not about the difficulty of the task. DOK is not a grade-level indicator. 12

13 DOK is Not a Verb Describe... how many symbols you see in the picture. the process of photography. how the two plays are alike. your analysis of the literary elements in a work of art. 13

14 DOK is About What Follows the Verb What comes after the verb is more important than the verb itself. Analyze this sentence to decide if the commas have been used correctly does not meet the criteria for high cognitive processing. Rationale: The student who has been taught the rule for using commas is merely using the rule. 14

15 DOK is NOT About Difficulty Difficulty is a reference to how many students answer a question correctly. How many of you know the definition of exaggerate? DOK 1 recall If all of you know the definition, this question is an easy question. How many of you know the definition of prescient? DOK 1 recall If most of you do not know the definition, this question is a difficult question. 15

16 DOK is NOT About Difficulty Who was the artist that created the painting of Mona Lisa? If all of you know the answer, this question is an easy question. Who was the artist that created Unique Forms of Continuity in Space? If most of you do not know the answer, this question is a difficult question. 16

17 DOK is NOT About Difficulty What is the capital of the France? If all of you know the answer, this question is an easy question. The intricate carvings on the Arc de Triompe were created by what famous French sculptor? If most of you do not know the answer, this question is a difficult question. 17

18 DOK is About Intended Outcome, NOT Difficulty! DOK is a reference to the complexity of mental processing that must occur to answer a question, perform a task, or generate a product. 18

19 DOK IS About Complexity Every standard in Fine Arts (PASS) has a DOK level. Instruction and classroom assessments should reflect the DOK level of the objective. 19

20 When Assigning the DOK Level, Consider... the level of work students are most commonly required to perform. the complexity of the task, rather than its difficulty. The DOK level describes the kind of thinking involved in a task, not the likelihood that the task will be completed correctly. 20

21 What Does DOK Look Like in the Classroom? Level One (Recall) Name the artists that were associated with the Kiowa Five. 21

22 What Does DOK Look Like in the Classroom? Level Two (Skill/Concept) Using the following 20 th century artists (Wassily Kandinsky, Joan Miro, Salvador Dali, Edward Hopper, Andrew Weyth and Jackson Pollock). Categorize their major styles of painting according to degrees of abstraction. 22

23 DOK 1- Describe three characteristics of modern dance. (simple recall) DOK 2- Describe the difference between Impressionism and Post Impressionism. (requires cognitive processing to determine the differences in the two art movements) DOK 3- Describe a emotion that you might use to represent the relationships that exist between two characters in a play. (requires deep understanding of the characters and a determination of how best to represent them) Same verb three DOK levels! 23

24 Level 1 - Recall of Information Recall facts, terms, concepts/ideas, or to recognize or identify specific information contained in a image 24

25 Level 1 - Recall of Information Requires students to identify, list, or define. 25

26 Level 1 - Recall of Information Recall who, what, when, and where. 26

27 Level 1 - Recall of Information Recognize or identify specific information contained in the Fine Arts. 27

28 Level 2 - Basic Reasoning Engagement of some mental processing beyond recalling or reproducing a response. 28

29 Level 2 - Basic Reasoning Classify or sort items into meaningful categories. 29

30 Level 2 - Basic Reasoning Draw simple conclusions. 30

31 Level 2 - Basic Reasoning A Level 2 describe and/or explain requires that students go beyond a description or explanation of recalled information by describing and/or explaining how or why. 31

32 Level 3 - Complex Reasoning Requires reasoning, using evidence, and a higher level of thinking than Level 1 and Level 2. 32

33 Level 3 - Complex Reasoning Draw conclusions from multiple or complex stimuli. 33

34 Level 3 - Complex Reasoning Use concepts to solve problems. 34

35 Level 3 - Complex Reasoning Analyze similarities and differences. 35

36 Level 3 - Complex Reasoning Recognize and explain perceptions and misperceptions. 36

37 Level 3 - Complex Reasoning Make connections across time and place to explain a concept or idea. 37
