Willem is currently on study leave from Lincoln High School but I was dead chuffed to share his work with members of the LHS science department today. We were looking for different ways in which we could use SOLO to inform students of shifts in their science skill development. The examples and SOLO templates in the new book created much excitement. Answering the challenge of monitoring the science capabilities – all that “knowing about” declarative knowledge versus “knowing how to” (functioning knowledge) versus “willingness” (attitude) versus “what is done” (behaviour).
