Relationship between DoK & Bloom's
Depth of Knowledge (DoK) is used extensively in assessing levels of knowledge in the Oklahoma Core Curriculum assessments required by the State of Oklahoma. Each assessment item is identified with both the standard and objective being assessed and its DoK.
Review the diagram linked below. The diagram illustrates how the DoK is related to the newer version of Bloom's Taxonomy.
It is essential to apply DoK to everyday learning using Bloom's as its foundation.
