MOL, Solange Maria and MATOS, Daniel Abud Seabra. An analysis of solo taxonomy: applications in educational evaluation. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.75, pp.722-747. Epub May 08, 2020. ISSN 1984-932X. https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v30i75.6593.
This study aimed to present the SOLO Taxonomy as a methodological tool in educational assessment and to conduct a review of the literature about its use in educational assessment in Brazil. SOLO is a taxonomy comprised of five hierarchical levels of cognitive complexity: 1) prestructural; 2) unistructural; 3) multistructural; 4) relational; and 5) extended abstract. These levels are divided into two categories of learning: surface and deep. The SOLO presents many applications: classroom assessment, large scale assessment, teacher training, item formulation, among others. The reduced number of studies confirms the little use of this taxonomy in Brazil. Thus, our study contribution is to present SOLO and its uses.
