5+Levels+of+Understanding

media type="custom" key="9807429"

The model consists of 5 levels of understanding :
 * **Pre-structural** - The task is not attacked appropriately; the student hasn’t really understood the point and uses too simple a way of going about it.
 * **Uni-structural** - The student's response only focuses on one relevant aspect.
 * **Multi-structural** - The student's response focuses on several relevant aspects but they are treated independently and additively. Assessment of this level is primarily quantitative.
 * **Relational** - The different aspects have become integrated into a coherent whole. This level is what is normally meant by an adequate understanding of some topic.
 * **Extended abstract** - The previous integrated whole may be conceptualised at a higher level of abstraction and generalised to a new topic or area. Retrieved on 18th June, 2011 from http://en.wikipedia.org
