Transcript The New Taxonomy (Marzano and Kendall, 2008)
Ravalli County Curriculum Consortium August 2011 Marzano Research Laboratory
Taxonomy gives a framework for developing tasks more easily. Gives complexity.
Level 6 – Self-System Thinking
Level 5 – Metacognition
Level 4 – Knowledge Utilization
Level 3 – Analysis
Level 2 – Comprehension
Level 1 – Retrieval
• Executing--Almost a different category. Can vary in complexity K-12.
Performing procedures • Recalling—Short answer type question. Information isn ’ t provided. Producing information on demand • Recognizing—Most basic level. Information is provided.
Determining whether information is accurate, inaccurate or unknown
Process Definition Example activity
Executing The student can perform procedures without significant errors Provide the next number in the sequence: 7,11,14,18,21,___?
Recalling The student can produce information on demand Label the diagram of the cell Recognizing The student can determine whether provided information is accurate, inaccurate or unknown Which of the following did not land on the moon?
A. Neil Armstrong B. Buzz Aldrin C. Michael Collins
Process
Executing Recalling Recognizing • • • • Use • Demonstrate • Show • Make • Complete Exemplify • Name • List Label State
Possible Verbs
• • Draft Create • Describe • Who • What • Where • When • Recognize (from a list) • Select (from a list) • Identify (from a list) • Determine if the following Statements are true
If the element involves the components of a conversational greeting… …Write a sample task utilizing: • •
Recognizing
Which one of the following is a component of a greeting.
Recalling
List 2 different greetings.
Symbolizing—Non linguistic
•
Construct symbolic representations of information Integrating--Summarizing
•
Identify basic structure of information—most important points.
Process
Symbolizing
Definition Example activity
Depicting the critical aspects of knowledge in a pictorial? form Diagram the structure of the 3 branches of the U.S. government Integrating Identifying the critical or essential elements of knowledge Summarize the main causes of the Civil War
Process
Symbolizing • Symbolize • Depict • Represent • Illustrate • Draw
Possible Verbs
• Show • Use models • Diagram • Chart Integrating • Describe how or why • Describe the key parts of • Describe the effects • Describe the relationship between • Explain ways in which • Paraphrase • Summarize
If the element involves the components of conversational greetings.
…With the group at your table, come up with a sample task utilizing: •
Symbolizing
• Create a diagram showing the components of greetings
Integrating
Summarize the key components of conversational greetings.
Specifying—making predictions
• Identify logical consequences of information
Generalizing
• Construct new principles or generalizations based on information
Analyzing Errors—i.e. editing
• Identify errors
Classifying
• Identify categories to which information belongs
Matching
• Identify important similarities and differences
Operation
Specifying Generalizing Analyzing Errors Classifying Matching
Definition
Making and defending predictions about what might happen Inferring new generalizations from known knowledge Identifying logical or factual errors in knowledge Identifying superordinate and subordinate categories to which information belongs Identifying similarities and differences
Example activity
Predict the impact of a 5 degree change in temperature on the Earth and explain the prediction Based on what you know, why do humans build settlements where they do?
Examine candidate ’ s campaign literature to find errors or overgeneralizations Organize the following countries into 3 different regions Compare and contrast the foreign policy of the U.S. under Presidents Clinton and Bush.
Process
Specifying • Make and defend • Predict • Judge • Deduce
Possible Verbs
• What would have to happen • Develop an argument • Under what conditions Generalizing Analyzing Errors • Generalize • What conclusions can be drawn • What inferences can be made • Create a generalization • Create a principle • Create a rule • Trace the development of • Form conclusions • Revise • Edit • Evaluate • Diagnose • Critique • Assess • Identify errors • Identify problems • Identify issues
Process
Classifying • Classify • Organize • Sort
Possible verbs
• Identify a broader category • Identify categories • Identify different types Matching • Categorize • Compare and Contrast • Differentiate • Discriminate • Distinguish • Sort • Create analogy • Create metaphor
If the element involves the components of conversation with the group at your table, come up with a sample task utilizing: • • • Specifying Under what conditions would you use different types of greeting?
Generalizing What general conditions must exist for greetings?
Analyzing Errors What errors are made in conversational greetings?
If the element involves the components of conversational greetings… …With the group at your table, come up with a sample task utilizing: • Classifying Organize the greetings into categories (e.g. formal occasions, informal occasions, gender differences etc.) • Matching Compare the greeting components in different cultures.
Investigating
• Testing an hypothesis using the assertions and opinions of others
Experimenting
• Testing an hypothesis using data collected by the student
Problem Solving
• Using information to accomplish a goal for which obstacles or limiting conditions exist
Decision Making
• Using information to make a decision
Process
Investigating Experimenting Problem solving Decision Making
Definition
Generate a hypothesis and use the assertions and opinions of others to test the hypothesis Generating and testing a hypothesis by conducting an experiment and collecting data Accomplishing a goal for which obstacles exist Selecting among alternatives that initially appear to be equal
Example Activity
Generate a hypothesis and research what might happen to the polar ice caps if the temperature of the earth rose 5 degrees Generate and test a hypothesis about the growth of plants in various medium Determine the best strategy for accomplishing peace in the world Choose the best site for a new airport from 3 alternatives. Explain your decision.
Process
Investigating Experimenting Problem Solving • • Investigate • Research • Find out about • Take a position on • Experiment • Generate and test • Test the idea that • What would happen if Solve • Adapt • Develop a strategy to
Possible Verbs
• What are the differing features of • How/Why did this happen • What would have happened if • How would you test that • How would you determine if • How can this be explained • Based on the experiment, what can be predicted • Figure out a way to • How would you overcome • How will you reach your goal to Decision Making • Decide • Select the best among alternatives • Which of these is most suitable • What is the best way
…
With the group at your table, come up with sample tasks utilizing 1 or 2 of the Knowledge utilization processes… • • • Investigating Research other types of conversation patterns.
Problem-Solving Develop a strategy that could enhance conversations.
Decision – Making What component of conversation was the most significant ?
These are not assessed in the typical classroom Monitoring Accuracy • The student is able to determine their own level of accuracy Monitoring Clarity • The student is able to determine how clear their understanding is Process Monitoring • The student is able to monitor their own progress toward a specific goal Specifying Goals • The student is able to specify learning goals and develop a plan to achieve them
