This overview explores the four levels of Depth of Knowledge (DOK) in educational assessments: Level 1 focuses on recall of specific facts and details; Level 2 emphasizes skill application and interpretation, including decision-making; Level 3 involves strategic reasoning with complex and abstract thinking, often requiring experimentation for solutions; and Level 4 demands extended reasoning, planning, and the ability to relate concepts across different contexts. Each level plays a critical role in evaluating students' cognitive skills and enhancing learning outcomes.

Depth Of Knowledge Level 3: Strategic Reasoning Focus is on reasoning Complex and abstract thinking is required Justification May need to experiment to find the solution Level 1: Recall Focus is on specific facts, definitions, details, or using routine procedures Can be ‘difficult’ without requiring ‘deep’ content knowledge “You know it or you don’t” Level 2: Skill/Concept Focus is on applying skills and concepts, relationships (compare, cause-effect) Making decisions Interpreting Level 4: Extended Reasoning Requires complex reasoning, planning, and thinking Relate concepts among other content areas or within that content area Make real-world applications in new situations 1
