HOTS-PLPS REVIEW

Which statement supports the use of SOLO in determining the level of the students’ performance?

• SOLO shows student knowledge via his or her responses.

• Students show evidence of knowledge through observable outcome.

• SOLO shows interplay between what is taught and what is learned.

• All of the above

The temperature of nitrogen gas contained in a non-rigid vessel is reduced from 100 to 5°C. Describe the resulting behavior of nitrogen gas molecules. If a student answered: "The volume occupied by the nitrogen gas molecules suddenly decreases, thus the container shrinks". 

What is the  solo level of the student response?

• Unistructural

• Multistructural

• Relational

• Extended Abstract

Which best explains a prestructural response?

• It has no significance.

• It is not clear.

• It is wrong.

• None of the above

John has been assigned a research project on climate change. He starts by collecting information from various sources, including books, websites, and scientific journals. After gathering the data, John organizes the information into different categories and identifies key concepts related to climate change. He then critically evaluates the credibility and reliability of each source and cross-references the information to ensure accuracy. John synthesizes the collected data and presents it in a comprehensive report, highlighting the causes, impacts, and possible solutions to climate change.

Which level of the SOLO Taxonomy model best describes John's approach to the research project?

• Unistructural

• Multistructural

• Relational

• Externded Abstract

Carl is curious about worms, so the teacher encourages him to go find worms outside and write a report about what he found. What learning approach is demonstrated in this situation?

• Collaborative learning approach

• Inquiry-based approach

• Metacognitive approach

• Reflective approach

The SOLO model may be adopted by all teachers because its focus is relevant to all subjects and all learning activities in schools. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about using the SOLO model in the teaching and learning process?

• SOLO motivates students to ponder where they are presently in terms of their level of understanding, and what they must do to progress.

• SOLO has been used as a framework in the development of the three professional standards in the context of Philippine education.

• SOLO offers clear learning pathways that help teachers focus on content knowledge.

• SOLO offers assistance in writing only test questions that can differentiate higher-order and lower-order ideas.

Which of the following statement best describes SOLO as a framework? Choose one. 

• It connects students’ prior and new learning.

• It supports learning.

• It appreciates students’ skills.

• It makes learning fun

To which classroom teaching-learning process may a teacher use SOLO?

• objective setting/motivation

• review of previous lesson

• assessment of learning

• All of the above

Which of the following statements is/are best to remember when writing rationalizations?

I.        Keep it concise but complete.

II.      Focus on two things – explain why the answer is at the same solo framework level (or multiple possible levels) with the question and check on the accuracy of the concept.

III.    Ensure the connection among the required competency, stem, question, and acceptable answer.

IV.   Do not accept the answer of the students if it goes beyond a unistructural or multistructural level question.

• I only

• II and III

• I, II and III

• I, II, III and IV

Ashley has this answer for her assignment:

Metallic compounds, which are a type of covalent compound, typically have high thermal conductivity due to the presence of delocalized electrons that can transfer thermal energy efficiently. Examples of metallic compounds include copper (Cu) and iron (Fe). In contrast, ionic compounds have lower thermal conductivity due to their rigid lattice structure. Examples of ionic compounds include calcium oxide (CaO) and aluminum chloride (AlCl3). Covalent compounds also have lower thermal conductivity due to their weak intermolecular forces. Examples of covalent compounds include water (H2O) and methane (CH4).

Ashley shows evidence of what SOLO level :

• unistructural

• multistructural

• relational

• extended abstract
