Topic: Solo Taxonomy (Biggs and Collis)

Overview:

The Structure of Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) Taxonomy, introduced by scholars


Biggs and Collis in 1982, delineates stages of cognitive development in students’ learning. It
progresses from basic factual understanding to more complex conceptual grasp. SOLO
Taxonomy comprises five levels: Prestructural, where learners lack understanding;
Unistructural, focusing on a single aspect; Multistructural, involving multiple disconnected
points; Relational, where points are interconnected logically; and Extended Abstract,
demonstrating profound comprehension through innovative application. Incorporating SOLO
Taxonomy into educational approaches empowers students to analyze, synthesize, evaluate,
and apply knowledge effectively. It fosters active engagement and cultivates students’
ownership of their learning journey. By clearly articulating the expected levels of
comprehension, students gain clarity on their learning objectives, fostering self-reflection,
self-assessment, and self-directed learning. For instance, in a narrative writing lesson,
students at different SOLO levels could progress from identifying key story elements to
analyzing their interactions and eventually crafting their own narratives integrating these
elements.

Discussion:
What is the SOLO taxonomy? SOLO (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes) offers a
structured outline for the learners to use to build their learning and thinking. It motivates
students to ponder where they are presently in terms of their level of understanding, and what
they must do to progress.
SOLO taxonomy
- Proposed by Biggs and Collis (1982), categorizes students’ thinking levels,
highlighting the progression from factual to conceptual and abstract thinking.

What Can SOLO Taxonomy Be Used For?


The taxonomy can be used for :
-To increase the quality and complexity of thought by integrating relevant activities and
innovative lesson deliveries in sync with the content.
-To establish learning objectives to provide students with clear and concise directives for
achieving academic goals.
-To create assessment criteria that eventually guides students to prepare for exams and
conduct tests as per standardised methods.
-To create and evaluate learning programs that would serve to boost self-confidence and
motivation within students and ultimately help to achieve learning outcomes.

Five Hierarchical Levels Of SOLO Taxonomy

1. Pre Structural Level


-The initial stage, also known as the incompetent stage, occurs when a learner lacks
knowledge about a task or subject, resulting in unconnected, unorganized information.

2. Unistructural Level
-At this stage, learners gain a basic understanding of a task or subject, making connections
but not understanding the significance of the information. Their responses focus on one
relevant aspect.

3. Multistructural Level
-Students understand various aspects independently, but their relationship to the whole
remains unclear. They make varied connections but fail to understand the significance of the
whole.

4. Relational Level
-This stage involves students understanding the importance of different parts in a task,
connecting concepts, and demonstrating how each part contributes to the whole,
demonstrating a coherent knowledge of the task.

5. Extended Abstract Level


-Students at this level can connect within and beyond tasks, transfer concepts, and generalize
principles across subjects, demonstrating their ability to conceptualize beyond the taught
level and propose new ideas.
