Prestructural
What does it mean?
Really there’s not much there.
For example:
Prestructural
What do
you know
about
Tennis?
Err…..
What??
Unistructural

procedure
What does it mean?
There’s one idea there.
For example:
What do
you know
about
Tennis?
Err…..
You

What does it mean?
There are a number of ideas.
For example:
What do
you know
about
Tennis?
It’s a game
played between
two people
where you hit a
ball over a net,
keeping it within
certain
boundaries

What does it mean?
There are a number of ideas and links are be made between
these ideas
For example:
What
do you
know
about
Tennis?
It’s a game of skill played
between two people. The
idea is to out manoeuvre your
opponent by hitting the ball
over the net in such a way as
to force them to make a
mistake. Whether it is their
failure to return the shot or
they miss the ball.

What does it mean?
There is a range of ideas which are linked together plus some
knew or extended thinking is added.
For example:
What
do you
know
about
Tennis?
It’s a game of skill played
between two people. The
idea is to out manoeuvre your
opponent by hitting the ball
over the net in such a way as
to force them to make a
mistake. Whether it is their
failure to return the shot or
they miss the ball.
If you knew each
players skill level
with regard to
putting spin on the
ball, accuracy and
speed of their
serve, you could
predict the
outcome of each
