Straight up copying is DOK 0.

Note taking CAN be higher level thinking but it requires summarizing, synthesizing, and making decisions.

DOK (Depth of Knowledge) has 4 levels.

DOK 1 and DOK 2 have a right answer.

My quick and dirty for DOK 3 is "Make a claim and justify it with evidence."

If you expect them to get it right the first time then it is not critical thinking.

If you expect students to get it right the first time it is at best DOK 1 or DOK 2. Try to plan for activities that require iteration, feedback, reflection.

DOK (Depth of Knowledge) is about the complexity of the students thinking.

It's important to note that DOK (critical thinking) focuses on the complexity of cognitive processes rather than the difficulty of tasks. Misinterpretations, such as associating specific verbs with DOK levels (e.g., the "DOK wheel"), can lead to misconceptions.

Technology gives us access to basic information. This allows us to help them to go farther by increasing the critical thinking (DOK) of the tasks.

DOK (Depth of Knowledge) is one thing I highly consider when making lesson plans.

How much critical thinking are the students engaged in?

I add the DOK level to each of my assignment descriptions so I can keep track.

It's not harder worksheets, it's deeper questions. Try asking students to create a diagram or record a video using Google Vids to explain their reasoning.

Every week the NYT makes a resource for teachers to help students think critically and analyze a graphic.

What do you notice? What do you wonder? What is a headline you think this would be an article for?

Does math class teach critical thinking?

It is DOK 1 (low critical thinking) to mimic steps and directions.

I'm using AI to help me align some tasks to DOK.... sigh. It's a little helpful but OFF.

DO NOT TRUST AI DOK RATINGS

You have to analyze the results and don't trust AI. It was trained on all the bad DOK materials out there.

Student engagement... thinking is engaging! Recalling can be stressful.

You get fist pumps when you figure something out.

Webb's Depth of Knowledge isn't a ladder where Level 1 is easy and Level 4 is hard. It measures the mental processing required to complete a task.

● Level 1: Recall

● Level 2: Skill/Concept

● Level 3: Strategic Thinking

● Level 4: Extended Thinking

DOK 3 involves non-routine problem-solving where the solution path is not immediately obvious, and students must justify their reasoning with evidence.
