Solo Taxonomy

The SOLO Taxonomy is a model developed by John Biggs and Kevin Collis in 1982 that categorizes levels of student understanding into five hierarchical stages: Prestructural, Unistructural, Multistructural, Relational, and Extended Abstract. Each level reflects a progression from no understanding to the ability to generalize and apply knowledge in complex situations. This taxonomy is utilized in education for curriculum design and assessment of learning outcomes.

SOLO Taxonomy

The SOLO (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes) Taxonomy is a


model that describes the levels of understanding that students can
demonstrate in their learning. Developed by John Biggs and Kevin
Collis in 1982, SOLO Taxonomy provides a systematic way to assess
the depth and complexity of a learner’s understanding. It consists of
five hierarchical levels, each representing a different stage of
cognitive development. The first level, Prestructural, indicates that
the learner has no understanding of the topic and may provide
irrelevant or incoherent responses. The second level, Unistructural,
reflects a basic understanding, where the learner can identify a single
relevant aspect but lacks the ability to connect ideas. At the
Multistructural level, the learner can identify multiple aspects of the
topic but still struggles to integrate them into a coherent whole. The
Relational level signifies a deeper understanding, where the learner
can connect ideas and see relationships between different aspects,
demonstrating the ability to apply knowledge in familiar contexts.
Finally, the Extended Abstract level represents the highest level of
understanding, where the learner can generalize concepts, think
abstractly, and apply knowledge to novel and complex situations.
SOLO Taxonomy is widely used in education to design curriculum,
