Solo Taxonomy Prestructural Extended Abstract Levels Lookup
Biggs Collis SOLO descriptors, not automatic response grading. Caller independently verifies learner/context/evidence and reference edition; not causal learning efficacy, disability eligibility or educational certification.
Description
SOLO describes the structure and complexity of a learning response.
SOLO describes the structure and complexity of a learning response.1
This lookup explains one named level; the level must be selected from independently reviewed work.
When to use Solo Taxonomy Prestructural Extended Abstract Levels Lookup
Use this tool to read a bounded explanation for an exact reference topic. Establish the learning task, observed evidence and applicable framework or policy edition.
How to use Solo Taxonomy Prestructural Extended Abstract Levels Lookup and understand its results
- Establish the learning task, observed evidence and applicable framework or policy edition.
- Enter soloLevel, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read meaning. Inspect nested result fields where present, and review unknown records separately from known matches.
- Correct any reported input issue and run again. Before using a successful result, check the stated units, signs, reference scope and observation coverage.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| soloLevel | Solo level | string | Required |
Select prestructural, unistructural, multistructural, relational or extended-abstract. Return the stored descriptor without analysing a response or assigning a score.
| Selection token | Stored value |
|---|---|
| prestructural | response misses the relevant point |
| unistructural | response addresses one relevant aspect |
| multistructural | response addresses multiple aspects without integrating them |
| relational | response integrates relevant aspects into a coherent whole |
| extended-abstract | response generalizes or theorizes beyond the immediate task |
descriptor=levels[exactToken] Use the matching field units and the exact boundary, ordering and reference rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| meaning | Meaning | string |

}Limitations and assumptions
Supplied annotations and framework choices determine the result. The tool does not measure learning effects, assess learner intent or independently establish policy applicability.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related step, use Bloom Taxonomy Verb Wheel Level Classifier: A task’s cognitive demand depends on more than its verb. For a complementary comparison, use Higher Order HOTS Question Stems By Bloom Level Bank: Higher-order question stems need to be matched to the task and intended thinking rather than a verb alone.
