It was first introduced in the publication Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: The Classification of Educational Goals.

    Diagram giving an overview of the SOLO Taxonomy approach. The structure of observed learning outcomes (SOLO) taxonomy is a model that describes levels of increasing complexity in students' understanding of subjects. It was proposed by John B. Biggs and Kevin F. Collis. [1] The model consists of five levels of understanding: [2]

  4. Taxonomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomy

    For example, a basic biology taxonomy would have concepts such as mammal, which is a subset of animal, and dogs and cats, which are subsets of mammal. This kind of taxonomy is called an is-a model because the specific objects are considered as instances of a concept. For example, Fido is-an instance of the concept dog and Fluffy is-a cat. [23]

  5. Higher-order thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_thinking

    Higher-order thinking, also known as higher order thinking skills (HOTS), [1] is a concept applied in relation to education reform and based on learning taxonomies (such as American psychologist Benjamin Bloom's taxonomy). The idea is that some types of learning require more cognitive processing than others, but also have more generalized benefits.

  7. Species - Wikipedia

    The hierarchy of biological classification's eight major taxonomic ranks. A genus contains one or more species. Minor intermediate ranks are not shown. A species (pl.: species) is a population of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. [1]

  8. Phylogenetic nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylogenetic_nomenclature

    Willi Hennig's pioneering work provoked a controversy [33] about the relative merits of phylogenetic nomenclature versus Linnaean taxonomy, or the related method of evolutionary taxonomy, which has continued to the present. [34] Some of the controversies with which the cladists were engaged had been happening since the 19th century. [35]

    Taxonomy is that part of Systematics concerned with topics (a) to (d) above. A whole set of terms including taxonomy, systematic biology, systematics, scientific classification, biological classification, and phylogenetics have at times had overlapping meanings – sometimes the same, sometimes slightly different, but always related and ...
