Norman L. Webb first developed the Depth of Knowledge Framework<\/a> <\/span>for Mathematics and Science. He experimented with the model in his classroom and undertook his research based on the results and observations. As he was a mathematics educator, his framework originally reflected his results in the assessment of mathematics and science. It was only later on, with the vast application of DOK, that the framework was taken as a generic module for the levels of assessment. Over time, educationists have developed subject-specific DOK frameworks; however, the most essential and widely used still remain the DOK for Mathematics and Science.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depth of Knowledge Framework for Mathematics<\/span><\/h2>\n

Level 1 (Recall and Reproduction)<\/span><\/h3>\n

In mathematics, the first level of DOK entails problems that are clearly defined and use a one-step, straight algorithmic procedure, or solving basic calculation problems that require a single step (addition, subtraction, et al.). The <\/span>Recall and Reproduction<\/span><\/a> level does not require the student to delve deep into identifying the operations required to solve the problem. <\/span>Keywords that signify Level 1 Depth of Knowledge in mathematics are \u201cidentify\u201d, \u201crecall\u201d, \u201cmeasure\u201d, \u201crecognize\u201d, and \u201cuse\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Level 2 (Skill\/Concept)<\/span><\/h3>\n

The second level of DOK<\/span><\/a> involves making the best suitable choice to solve the problem. The student is required to make some decisions as to how to best approach the problem and to contrast as well as compare concepts. <\/span>\u201cEstimate\u201d, \u201corganize\u201d, \u201cmake observations\u201d, \u201cclassify\u201d, \u201ccompare data\u201d, and \u201ccollect and display data\u201d are keywords of this level.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Level 3 (Strategic Thinking)<\/span><\/h3>\n

The activities at the <\/span>third level of DOK<\/span><\/a> typically require the student to explain their thinking as well as logic and make conjectures. <\/span>\u201cExplain and support with evidence\u201d, \u201cdraw conclusions from the observations\u201d, \u201cexplain the phenomena in terms of concepts\u201d, and \u201ccite the appropriate evidence and develop a logical argument for the concept\u201d represent the keywords for this Depth of Knowledge level.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Level 4 (Extended Thinking)<\/span><\/h3>\n

The fourth level of DOK<\/span><\/a> requires the learner to create multiple connections and relate <\/span>within<\/span><\/i> and among the applicable content areas to select the best approach to solve the problem. T<\/em><\/span>he keywords of Level 4 Mathematics Depth of Knowledge are \u201cCreate and carry out experiments\u201d, \u201ccombine and synthesize ideas into concepts\u201d, and \u201ccritique the experimental design\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Depth of Knowledge Framework for Science<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/span>In science, \u201cknowledge\u201d can refer to content knowledge as well as knowledge of processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Level 1. Recall and Reproduction<\/span><\/h3>\n

Simple science procedures\/processes and a distinct series of steps are performed in Level 1 of Depth of Knowledge Framework for Science. Some examples that represent a few Level 1 tasks include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n
