Solo Taxonomy consists of how many levels of understanding?

Explanation: The SOLO (Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome) Taxonomy was developed by John Biggs and Kevin Collis in 1982. It is used to assess the quality and complexity of students' understanding rather than simply measuring the quantity of knowledge.

The five levels of SOLO Taxonomy are:

• Prestructural: The learner has little or no understanding of the topic.
• Unistructural: The learner understands one relevant aspect of the topic.
• Multistructural: The learner understands several relevant aspects but treats them independently.
• Relational: The learner integrates different aspects into a coherent whole and understands their relationships.
• Extended Abstract: The learner generalizes the knowledge, applies it to new situations, and develops new ideas or theories.

Memory Tip: Remember the sequence as PUMRE:
Prestructural → Unistructural → Multistructural → Relational → Extended Abstract.
