The document discusses the Depth of Knowledge (DOK) model developed by Norman Webb, which categorizes cognitive expectations into four levels from recall to extended thinking. It emphasizes the importance of integrating 21st century skills—communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity—into lesson planning and learner assessment. The conclusion stresses that 21st century learners must develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and creative skills to thrive in modern education.
Depth of knowledge & the 21st century learner
- 1. Depth of Knowledge & The 21st Century Learner Malbis Aranda Ruiz-Morris July 20, 2020
- 2. Depth of Knowledge The Depth of Knowledge (DKO) is crucial for planning lessons and choosing the right instructional techniques. It kelps to break down and categorize internal processes that operate during problem solving. DOK levels allow students to adapt to challenges, work cooperatively and solve problems on their own
- 5. Depth of Knowledge(DOK) What is DOK? -DOK is a model developed by Norman Webb in 1997. -It reflects different levels of the cognitive expectation required to complete a task (Miller,2018).
- 6. Characteristics of Webb’s DoK Model Defines levels to align and analyze curriculum, objectives, standards, and assessments Names four different ways that students interact with content Relates closely to the depth of content understanding and scope of a learning activity Focuses on skills required to complete the task from inception to finale
- 7. Depth of Knowledge Levels Miller,2018
- 8. Levels of complexity of cognitive Level 1: Recall and Reproduction Requires eliciting information such as a fact, definition, term, or a simple procedure, as well as performing a simple algorithm or applying a formula. Level 2: Basic Skills and Concepts Requires the engagement of some mental processing beyond a recall of information.
- 9. Levels (Cont) -Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Reasoning Requires reasoning, planning, using evidence, and explanations of thinking -Level 4: Extended Thinking Requires complex reasoning, planning, developing, and thinking most likely over an extended period of time
- 10. 21st Century Skills Teachers are to consider a variety of factors when writing Lesson Plans and assessing learners. One of these factors is the profile of the 21st. Century learner, otherwise known as the 4 Cs of the 21st Century Skills.
- 11. Profile of the 21ST CENTURY Foreign Language LEARNER Communicator Collaborator Critical thinker Creative Thinker
- 12. As Communicators Articulate thoughts and ideas effectively using oral, written and nonverbal communication skills in a variety of forms and contexts. Use communication for a range of purposes (e.g. to inform, instruct, motivate, and persuade). Communicate effectively in diverse multi-lingual environments
- 13. As Collaborators Foreign Language Learners as collaborators Use their L1 and FL to demonstrate ability to work effectively and respectfully with diverse teams. Exercise flexibility and willingness to be helpful in making necessary compromises to accomplish a common goal. Assume shared responsibility for collaborative work. Value the individual contributions made by each team member
- 14. . As Critical Thinkers FL learners are expected to: -Exercise sound reasoning in understanding -Make complex choices and decisions -Understand the interconnections among systems -Identify and ask significant questions that clarify various points of view and lead to better solutions -Frame, analyse and synthesize information in order to solve problems and answer questions.
- 15. Conclusion One can summarize that the 21st Century learner should be trained to develop skills on critical thinking, problem solving, reasoning, analysis, interpretation, and synthesizing information. Research skills and practices, interrogative questioning should also be part of this type of learner. This learner main characteristics should be pledged by creativity, curiosity, imagination, and innovation.
