Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Consistency
One of 4 criteria of Webb’s alignment system – the Web Alignment Tool (2005)
Related to Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives – Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation (1956)
3
Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Levels
Dr. Norman Webb (Univ. of Wisconsin), defines four DOK levels:
1. Recall, Reproduction, Recitation
2. Application of Skills / Concepts3. Strategic Thinking4. Extended Thinking
Levels of cognitive processing, not difficulty
Summary of the Four DOK Levels
4
LEVEL ONE – RECALL & REPRODUCTIONRecall of a fact, information, or procedure
LEVEL TWO – SKILLS & CONCEPTSUse information or conceptual knowledge
LEVEL THREE – STRATEGIC THINKINGReasoning, developing a plan
LEVEL FOUR – EXTENDED THINKINGRequires an investigation, collection of data and analysis of results
Contrasting “Bloom” to “DOK”
5
• Bloom’s taxonomy level of difficulty is determined by the verb.
• DOK’s level of cognitive demand is determined by the context of how the verb is used and the depth of thinking required.
• What comes after the verb is more important that the verb itself.
SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION“Putting together elements & parts to form a
whole, then making value judgments about the method.”
EXTENDED THINKING
Requires an investigation; time to think and process multiple conditions of the problem or task.
BLOOM’S TAXONOMY WEBB’S DOK
KNOWLEDGE “The recall of specifics and universals, involving little more than bringing to mind the appropriate
material”
COMPREHENSION“Ability to process knowledge on a low level such that the knowledge can be reproduced or
communicated without a verbatim repetition.”
APPLICATION“The use of abstractions in concrete situations.”
ANALYSIS“The breakdown of a situation into its component parts.”
RECALL
Recall of a fact, information, or procedure (e.g., What are 3 critical skill cues for the overhand throw?)
SKILLS / CONCEPTS
Use of information, conceptual knowledge, procedures, two or more steps, etc.
STRATEGIC THINKING
Requires reasoning, developing a plan or sequence of steps; has some complexity; more than one possible answer

How Does DOK Look in the Classroom?
Level Four (Extended Thinking) - Analyze the strategies and effectiveness of George H. W. Bush’s war strategies in the Persian Gulf with the war strategies of George W. Bush in Iraq.
9
How Does DOK Look in the Classroom?
Level Three (Strategic Thinking) – Hypothesize how President Dwight D. Eisenhower would react to today’s political situation in the Middle
East.
10
How Does DOK Look in the Classroom?
Level Two (Skill/Concept) – Use the right and left political spectrum to categorize the U.S. presidents of
the 20th and 21st
century according to to
their political standing.
11
What Does DOK Look Like in the Classroom?
Level One (Recall) – Name the first 16 presidents of the
United States in order.
Who was President of the
United States during the
War between the States?
13
Beginning at the Beginning:
What DOK is can best be explained by saying what DOK is NOT. DOK is not a verb. DOK is not about the “difficulty” of the
task. DOK is not a grade-level indicator.
14
Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Consistency
Why are DOKs important to your work? The thinking required for each performance task
must correspond to the cognitive complexity levels of the underlying content standard. Tasks and content standards should reflect about the same levels of thinking.
The new College and Career Readiness Standards and the Common Core State Standards in language arts and mathematics reflect higher-order thinking.
15
DOK 1 Recall, Reproduction, Recitation
Right-there questions Recall information Identification/recitation of simple facts Use simple skills/abilities Follow a well-known procedure Perform a routine algorithm Apply a simple formula
16
DOK 1 Recall, Reproduction, Recitation
Describe physical features of an area. Locate points on a grid or number on a number
line. Solve a one-step problem. Calculate, measure, apply a rule. Identify elements of a painting using artistic
terminology. Retrieve information from a table to answer a
question. Define terms (e.g., forms of government,
geographical features).
18
DOK 2Application of Skills / Concepts
Some mental processing beyond a habitual response and/or
Actions require more than one cognitive step. Inter-sentence, think-&-search questions Observe/collect data Classify/organize/compare data Display data in tables, graphs, charts Summarize & infer from information Determine fact/opinion
19
DOK 2Application of Skills / Concepts
Demonstrate understanding & use of reference materials.
Take notes, outline, summarize. Identify central ideas/supporting details in text. Explain how nutritional choices affect our health. Compare sources of information about a product. Explain the cause-effect of historical events. Describe various styles of music. Make inferences or logical predictions from data. Retrieve information from a table, & use it to solve
a multi-step problem.
20
DOK 3 Strategic Thinking
Deep understanding, reasoning, planning, using evidence
Complex, abstract cognitive demands Explanations, generalizations, beyond-text
questions Draw & justify conclusions from observations Make inferences across entire passage Make connections between texts Develop logical arguments Compositions of multiple paragraphs
demonstrating focus, development, voice, complex sentence structure, etc.
21
DOK 3 Strategic Thinking
Design investigation for specific purpose or research question.
Compare multiple sources of consumer information about a product, and recommend a purchase.
Compare/contrast/analyze procedures or solutions.
Formulate an original problem given a situation. Analyze interrelationships among concepts,
issues, problems. Interpret author’s craft to critique a text. Create a monthly budget & analyze results to
explain ways to reduce household expenses.
22
DOK 4 Extended Thinking
Complexity of cognitive demand often requires extended time & research
Synthesis & application to real world Relate ideas within & among subject areas Design/conduct/critique experimental designs &
investigations Prepare essays & research papers to demonstrate
analysis & synthesis of complex perspectives with fresh applications to life
Addressed in a CLASSROOM situation only!
23
DOK 4 Extended Thinking
Specify a problem, identify solution paths, solve problem, & report results.
Write & produce an original play. Analyze multiple perspectives within &
across time periods, events, or cultures. Describe contributions from diverse
cultures to life in the U.S. Identify & analyze representative art
works from different periods & cultures.

DOK Caution
The Depth of Knowledge is NOT determined by the verb, but the context in which the verb is used and the depth of thinking required.
26
Same Verb – 3 DOK Levels DOK 3- Describe a model that you might use to
represent the relationships that exist within the rock cycle. (requires deep understanding of rock cycle and a determination of how best to represent it)
DOK 2- Describe the difference between metamorphic and igneous rocks. (requires cognitive processing to determine the differences in the two rock types)
DOK 1- Describe three characteristics of metamorphic rocks. (simple recall)
27
Remember…• Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is a scale of
cognitive demand. It is not about difficulty level.
• DOK levels can be cumulative. An assessment item/task written to DOK 3 often contains DOK 1 & DOK 2 level “sub-demands.”
• DOK requires looking at the Competency/PI & the assessment item/task – not student work – in order to determine the level. DOK is NOT about the student.
• The context of the standard or test item must be considered to determine the DOK – not just looking at what verb was chosen.
28
When (making or) inspecting the alignment between a set of content standards and an item on an assessment, it is important that the DOK level of the standard corresponds with that of the item.
•Otherwise, think about the inferences you will drawFrom a student’s performance on the item.

1. After three games, Stella’s bowling average (mean) was 105.Her first to scores were 112 and 96. What was her third score?
2. Elizabeth dropped a ball from 50 feet off the ground. Eachtime the ball bounced, it rebounded one-half the distance itdropped. What was the height of rebound after the third bounce?
3. The equation 2x + 3y + 7 = 35 represents the total number ofpoints that Frank scored in last night’s game. In this equation,x represents the number of two-point shots he made, and y equalsthe number of three-point baskets he made. If he made 8 two-pointshots, how many three-point baskets did he make?
