  1. Dr. Norman L. Webb Depth of Knowledge Model for Cognitive Complexity © Copyright Education Resources, LLC, 2006 Module developed by: Beth Coghlan, Ph.D. and Tamsie West, M.Ed.

  2. Dr. Norman L. Webb • Senior research scientist with the Wisconsin Center for Education Research and the National Institute for Science Education. • A mathematics educator and evaluator who leads the Institute's work on strategies for evaluating reform and rethinking how we evaluate mathematics and science education, while focusing on the NSF's Mathematics and Science Partnerships.

  3. Dr. Norman L. Webb • Research focused on assessment of students' knowledge of mathematics and the alignment of standards and assessments. • Also directs evaluations of curriculum and professional development projects. • Has given invaluable aid to the creation of this module.

  4. Four Levels of Depth of Knowledge • Recall - Recall of a fact, information, or procedure • Basic Application of Skill/Concept - 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; generally takes less than 10 minutes to do.

  5. Four Levels of Depth of Knowledge • Extended Thinking - Requires an investigation; time to think and process multiple conditions of the problem or task; and more than 10 minutes to do non-routine manipulations.
