Taxonomie SOLO

Définition

SOLO (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes) est une taxonomie d'objectifs élaborée par John Biggs et K. Collis.

"As learning progresses it becomes more complex. SOLO, which stands for the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome, is a means of classifying learning outcomes in terms of their complexity, enabling us to assess students’ work in terms of its quality not of how many bits of this and of that they got right. At first we pick up only one or few aspects of the task (unistructural), then several aspects but they are unrelated (multistructural), then we learn how to integrate them into a whole (relational), and finally, we are able to generalised that whole to as yet untaught applications (extended abstract). The diagram lists verbs typical of each such level." (Source : http://www.johnbiggs.com.au/solo_taxonomy.html)
