How
do I determine the Content Type of an EO?
Using the links below, click on the
K-level or Skill of the EO (or scroll down) for guidance on
how to identify the appropriate content type of the EO.
Skill
K5
- Analyze/Synthesize/Evaluate
K4
- Apply
K3
- Comprehend
K2
- Recall
K1-
Recognize
Skill
| If
the EO is asking the learner to… |
The
EO content type is… |
| Use
acquired knowledge to demonstrate how to perform
a given component of a duty or task which primarily requires
cognitive thinking, in addition to a motor component…
Example EO:
Given a specific piece of electrical equipment with
several switches, and the current state of the equipment,
turn the equipment off in the correct order.
|
Skill application
|
| If
the EO is asking the learner to… |
The
EO content type is… |
| Use
acquired knowledge to demonstrate how to perform
a given component of a duty or task which primarily requires
physical skill, rather than cognitive thinking…
Example EO:
Given a specific piece of electrical equipment, correctly
position your hand on the dial and turn the dial with
the appropriate force and speed.
|
Motor skill
|
|
None of the above…
|
Not
applicable
CAUTION: Revisit the EO and verify
that this is a skill.

K5
- Analyze/Synthesize/Evaluate
| If
the EO is asking the learner to… |
The
EO content type is… |
| Demonstrate
the ability to break down the whole into its parts
by explaining how something that is related to a duty
or task works….
Example EO:
Given the correct order to turn a new piece of equipment
off, and a diagram of the equipment with all switches
identified, determine the function of each switch.
|
Analyze
|
| If
the EO is asking the learner to… |
The
EO content type is… |
| Demonstrate
the ability to put parts or pieces of information together
to conceptualize and form a "big picture",
new patterns, or structures by explaining how to create
something associated with a given component of a duty
or task…
Example EO:
Given a description of the functions of a new piece
of equipment, and a diagram of the equipment with the
switches pointed out, determine the correct order to
turn the machine off.
|
Synthesize
|
| If
the EO is asking the learner to… |
The
EO content type is… |
| Demonstrate
the ability to judge the value or effectiveness of
procedures or solutions based on data, criteria, and
standards by explaining "what is right" and
"how well something works"…
Example EO:
Given the name of a specific piece of equipment with
a required warm-up period, and a list of the functions
of each of its switches, determine the effect of not
observing the required warm-up period.
|
Evaluate
|
| None
of the above… |
Not
applicable
CAUTION: Revisit the EO and verify
that this is a K5 - level analysis, synthesis, or evaluation
objective.

K4
- Apply
| If
the EO is asking the learner to… |
The
EO content type is… |
| Use
acquired knowledge to explain how to perform a given component
of a duty or task….
Example EO:
Given a diagram of a specific piece of electrical equipment
with several switches, and the current state of the
equipment, explain how to turn the equipment off.
|
Rules, procedures for performing
a component of a duty or task
|
| None
of the above… |
Not
applicable
CAUTION: Revisit the EO and verify
that this is a K4- level application objective.

K3 - Comprehend
| If
the EO is asking the learner to… |
The
EO content type is… |
| Interpret,
explain, or summarize bodies of interconnected facts
…
Example EO:
Given the name of a particular switch, explain how the
switch works.
|
Organized knowledge
|
| If
the EO is asking the learner to… |
The
EO content type is… |
| Interpret,
explain, or summarize a concept that is known by
its definition (such as the concept of a prime number,
or democracy)…
Example EO:
Given the name of a particular switch, explain how electricity
flows through the switch.
|
Defined concepts
|
| None
of the above… |
Not
applicable
CAUTION: Revisit the EO and verify
that this is a K3 - level Comprehension objective.

K2
- Recall
| If
the EO is asking the learner to… |
The
EO content type is… |
|
State (either verbally or in
writing) any one or more of the following kinds of information:

that can be proven and validated, for example, the
periodic table of elements)
- Labels (identifying words
or phrases used to describe information)
- Lists (sets of itemized or
categorized pieces of information)
- Rules (specific methods for
applying a simple procedure to solve a problem or
accomplish a task)
- Procedures (a series of steps
followed in a specific order to accomplish a specific
outcome)
Example EO:
Given the characteristics of a certain type of switch,
name the type of switch.
|
Facts, labels, lists, rules,
or procedures
|
| Name
