  2. Cognitive Complexity • Factual Knowledge • Terminology • Specific details • Conceptual Knowledge • Classification, categories • Principles, generalizations • Theories, models, structures • Procedural Knowledge • Subject specific skills • Subject specific techniques • Criteria for determining correct • use of appropriate procedures • Metacognitive Knowledge • Strategic knowledge • Knowledge about cognitive tasks • Self-knowledge

  5. HEAP Assessment Modes

  6. A HEAP of Cognitive Complexity 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 (e.g. Task 610 – Record, analyze, & evaluate strategies used by alcohol companies in promoting their product during sporting event on television,) 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 (e.g., Module 350 – Devise a 2-step plan to stay tobacco-free through high school & beyond.) Basic Application of Skill/Concept – Use of information, conceptual knowledge, procedures, two or more steps, etc. (e.g., Module 332 – Describe safety rules for pool and explain why the rules are necessary) Portfolio Performance Tasks Events Extended Response Short Answer Selected Response Recall – Recall of a fact, information, or procedure (e.g., What is the FIT principle?)

  7. Alignment & Balance of Representation Do Assessments Align For Cognitive Complexity? Is there an appropriate balance? (mode, complexity) Assessments are denoted by SCASS-HEAP module number (e.g., 100-600) and Webb’s Depth of Knowledge (1-4)
