Revision as of 03:52, 24 July 2013
This wiki page describes how SOLO Taxonomy can be adapted for use with students and teachers to improve the effectiveness of “feed up” (Where am I going?). Other pages will explore "feedback" (How am I going?) and “feed forward” (What should I do next?).

---|---|---|
Where am I going? | How am I going? | Where to next? |
Be explicit about the learning task and success criteria. Set appropriate, challenging and specific goals,Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO),Learning Intentions (LI). | Self assess progress against the success criteria. | Set next learning steps. |
We are learning to ... (WALT), I am learning to ... (IALT) |
I will know I am successful when ..., My learning outcome is ... because ... |

Feed Up: Identifying the learning goals/intentions
Teaching and learning goals focus on declarative knowledge and functioning knowledge.
Check out the new HookED SOLO Learning Intention Generator
Identifying ‘explicit’ learning goals can be challenging to teachers. Yet without ‘explicit’ learning goals, feedback cannot be wholly effective.
SOLO is used as a model of different levels of understanding when planning learning intentions by teachers (and students). The process of ‘constructive alignment’ uses learning verbs coded against SOLO outcomes to unpack New Zealand Curriculum achievement objectives and achievement standards(Biggs and Tang, 2009, p50).
Associating the levels in SOLO with “declarative knowledge verbs” (Biggs & Tang, 2007, p79) has been fundamental to building clarity, competence and confidence into the process of writing learning goals.
In New Zealand the list of SOLO coded learning verbs for declarative knowledge and functioning knowledge (see below)have been selected from commonly used task descriptors in NCEA (Hook, 2011).
SOLO Levels | Learning Verbs/Task Descriptors |
---|---|
Unistructural |
Define, identify, name, draw, find, label, match |
Multistructural |
Describe, list, outline, follow a procedure |
Relational |
Sequence, classify, compare and contrast, explain causes, explain effects, analyse, make an analogy, organise, distinguish, interview, question |
Extended Abstract |
Generalise, predict, evaluate, reflect, hypothesise, create, prove, plan, justify, argue, compose, prioritise, design, construct, perform |
SOLO Visual Maps
Visual mapping helps students understand the process steps when they are using academic language - describing, explaining, analysing , evaluating etc. They are useful draft writing templates for both structure and content across different levels of SOLO tasks and outcomes.

Setting SMART Goals
Key Attributes of SMART Goals | Develop by ... | Use SOLO Taxonomy ... |
---|---|---|
Specific | Ask explicit focused questions. e.g. 5W and 1H questions | Ask questions aligned to differentiated SOLO outcomes. E.g. Compare and contrast (Relational Outcome) |
Measurable | Establish specific criteria for measuring progress and knowing when a goal has been achieved. | Establish SOLO differentiated success criteria for learning verbs. E.g. HOT SOLO Self assessment rubrics for learning verbs |
Attainable | Develop differentiated sub-goals | Establish SOLO differentiated success criteria for learning verbs. E.g. HOT SOLO Self assessment rubrics for learning verbs |
Realistic | Able and motivated to achieve | Use SOLO differentiated success criteria to establish level of pre-topic learning. |
Timely | Create timeline/Gantt chart | Use SOLO differentiated success criteria for time management (Functioning knowledge) |
