Topic F: Using the SOLO Taxonomy to Narrow Achievement Gaps
The SOLO Taxonomy (Biggs & Collis, 1982) is “one of the most powerful models for understanding when to move student from surface- to deep-learning” (Hattie, 2013). It aligns to evidence-based practice and helps identify when to move students from ‘knowing’ to making links and connections between different concepts and ideas. It can also be used to design differentiated learning tasks that, when coupled with attainment-based grouping (rather than ability-grouping), can be effective in narrowing achievement gaps. This webinar will show the best ways to:
- How to use SOLO to design differentiated learning tasks that enable students to deepen their learning
- The ways in which SOLO supports students in developing metacognition, self-regulation, self-efficacy, and engagement
- How to recognise and respond to each state of SOLO so as to deepen learning and close the achievement gap for all students
