  1. Costa’s Levels of Thinking AVID Standard 1.3 Refine personal and academic goals

  2. “The goal of the inquiry method is to help students become more aware of the range of problem-solving and critical-thinking behaviors available to them and to improve their ability to apply these behaviors when they are confronted with a problem to which they have no ready answer.” Art Costa The Inquiry Method

  3. Historically, state and national surveys indicate that approximately 80% of the questions K-12th grade students are exposed to are lower-level questions. • In college this trend reverses, and students are asked to deal primarily with high-level critical questions. Why Use Inquiry?

  4. LEVEL 1-Book Only The answer can be found in the text (either directly or indirectly). • Texts include books, lectures, or straight from the horse’s mouth. • This type of question is very concrete and pertains only to the text; it asks for facts about what has been heard or read. Information is recalled in the exact manner/form it was heard. Costa’s Level of Questioning

  5. Level 1 Key Words: Example Questions:

  6. Costa’s Level of Questioning • LEVEL 2-Book and Brain • The answer can be inferred from the text. This type question, although more abstract than a level one question, still relies on the facts. With a level two question, the brain has to use the facts. Answers combine information in a new way. • Information can be broken down into parts; it involves examining • in detail, analyzing motives or causes, making inferences, finding • information to support generalizations or decision-making.
