SOLO+TAXONOMY

=SOLO taxonomy=

The SOLO taxonomy stands for:
 * S**tructure of
 * O**bserved
 * L**earning
 * O**utcomes


 * 1** **Pre-structural:** here students are simply acquiring bits of unconnected information, which have no organisation and make no sense. || [[image:http://www.learningandteaching.info/learning/graphics/solo1.gif width="239" height="191"]] ||
 * [[image:http://www.learningandteaching.info/learning/graphics/solo2.gif width="239" height="191"]] || **2** **Unistructural:** simple and obvious connections are made, but their significance is not grasped. ||


 * 3** **Multistructural:** a number of connections may be made, but the meta-connections between them are missed, as is their significance for the whole. || [[image:http://www.learningandteaching.info/learning/graphics/solo3.gif width="239" height="191"]] ||
 * [[image:http://www.learningandteaching.info/learning/graphics/solo4.gif width="239" height="191"]] || **4** **Relational** level: the student is now able to appreciate the significance of the parts in relation to the whole. ||
 * **5** At the **extended abstract** level, the student is making connections not only within the given subject area, but also beyond it, able to generalise and transfer the principles and ideas underlying the specific instance. || [[image:http://www.learningandteaching.info/learning/graphics/solo5.gif width="239" height="191"]] ||
