This document discusses inquiry learning and the SOLO (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes) taxonomy. It begins with some prompts for discussion around inquiry learning. It then provides an introduction to the SOLO taxonomy, explaining the levels from unistructural to extended abstract. Examples are given to illustrate each level. The document suggests that 80% of teacher questioning can be answered with surface knowledge alone. It discusses how SOLO and inquiry learning can enhance understanding. Teams are tasked with presenting connections between SOLO and inquiry learning visually and analyzing student work using the SOLO taxonomy. The document also provides additional resources on the topics.

Understanding Challenges of Curriculum Innovation and the Implementation_John...John Yeo
Singapore’s education system has remained consistently near the top of most education ranking systems over the past decade. OECD (2010) attributes the success to a systemic focus on curriculum innovation by Singapore schools. However, the challenges that emerge from the various initiatives are complex and multifaceted. Using the lens of Schwab’s (1973) four commonplaces- milieu, learner, subject matter and teacher, the experienced curriculum is unpacked to reveal the discourse of the challenges of curriculum translation. While I examine the similarities and differences in curriculum translation under two different educational philosophies- curriculum vs didatik, I attend to the educational outcomes of teaching practices using the Appreciative Inquiry approach. The challenges than unmask the inherent tensions between socio-economical ideologies with the curriculum implementation at the programmatic and institutional level. Exploring from Engestrom's Activity Theory, I will examine the issues of ideology and control surrounding what gets eventually translated in the classroom curriculum.
Instructional designing when aligned with taxonomies help the teacher deliver the best of content in a very effective manner. This leads to achieving learning outcomes through activities and resources and workflow chosen by the instructor. It also involves selecting a specific or an amalgamation of various teaching methodologies.

Ashley Jorgensen, Price Laboratory School, UNI
This presentation will focus on developing a curriculum built around inquiry-based units of instruction in a secondary language arts classroom. Audiences will have the chance to see evidence of how the use of essential questions can lead students into a process of inquiry, giving them the skills they need to think critically, question the world around them, and broaden and deepen their perspectives by connecting with others. Audiences will embark on a journey that takes them through a course entitled, ‘The American Teenager,’ and see the activities, assessments, and instructional strategies that transformed this course from a traditional study of American Literature to a course that is relevant, engaging, and challenging for teenagers in the 21st century. Through essential questions like ‘How do societal expectations impact our identity?’, ‘What are the costs and benefits of conformity?’ and ‘Is the American Dream a reality for all?’, this course blends classic and contemporary, and combines writers like Sherman Alexie with The Breakfast Club, Henry David Thoreau with text messaging, and Catcher in the Rye with Jay-Z. Audiences will gain important techniques for creating a classroom built around student-led discussions, including Socratic Seminars and blogging, as well as see examples of competency based assessments fully aligned with the Iowa Core Curriculum and National Common Core Standards.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

4. Introduction to the
SOLO Taxonomy
Presented to the Visible Learning Master Class 2010 by
John Hattie
5. SOLO - Biggs & Collis
Structure of
Observed
Learning
Outcomes
9. Unistructural
- one idea
From pre - structural to unistructural:
Curriculum is needed to help students ‘join the game’ with
its new rules and different way of conceptualising reality.
Unistructural
Contains one obvious piece of information. An answer is
based on only one relevant aspect of the presented evidence.
What is a king? A king lives in a palace.
10. Multistructural
- many ideas
Multistructural
The student's response focuses on several relevant
aspects but they are treated independently and
additively. Assessment of this level is primarily
quantitative.
‘What is a king?’ - Provide at least 2 explanations
A king is very important and rich and a famous man
from a royal family.
11. Relational
- relating ideas
Relational
The different aspects have become integrated into a
coherent whole. This level is what is normally meant
by an adequate understanding of some topic.
What is the role of a king? A king is a ruler of a
country
12. Extended Abstract
- extending ideas
Extended abstract
The previous integrated whole may be
conceptualised at a higher level of abstraction and
generalised to a new topic or area.
Provide an explanation of the notion of a King.
A king is a male sovereign ruler of an independent
state.
13. We can be more imaginative about what we know
most than we can be about things with which we a re
less familiar.

14. SOLO - analyses the
structure of responses
SURFACE - increase in
quantity
one idea - many ideas
DEEP - change of quality
relating ideas - extending
ideas

15. Surface and Deep
80% of all teacher questioning can be
answered with surface knowledge
Your art relates to the appropriate balance
of surface to deep depending on your
objectives for any assessment.

18. Sorting Out & Taking
Action
• With a team of 3
compare your ideas
about how the SOLO
taxonomy can enhance
our understanding of
inquiry based learning.
• Present in a visual
format the connections
between SOLO and
Inquiry Learning.
19. Analysing student work
• With your team analyse
some student work
samples and determine
at what level of the
SOLO taxonomy the
students are
demonstrating
understanding.
• Build a taxonomy.
