![]() ![]() Some high-stakes assessments like SBAC consider DOK in their exams and even provide teachers with the information about which DoK levels are tested on their exam blueprints. Why Care About Depth of Knowledge?ĭepth of Knowledge or DOK is important for instructors and assessment creators to consider in order to fully understand student expectations in a given assessment. As an educator, thinking about the assessment items in this manner can help distinguish exactly what student are expected to accomplish when approaching each item. Norman Webb’s Depth of Knowledge flips the focus to the cognitive aspects the students must exercise to move through an item and adequately address a question. Typically, when we think of assessment item difficulty, we associate it with the actual question stem, the length of the questions, and other components coming from the item itself.
