Higher Order Thinking Questions: by Jamie Speer
Knowledge (repeats information verbatim)- students learn scientific
name of green iguana is Iguana iguana, are able to recite this when
asked
Comprehension ( restates in own words)- teacher asks one student to
describe class reptilia to team member, student says "iguanas are in
the reptile class"
Application (understands connections)- students are able to
understand that a snake is related to an iguana because they are both
under class reptilia and cold blooded, using common knowledge.
Analysis- (understanding organizational relationships)- Student can
understand that a "phylum " is smaller than a "kingdom" by evaluating
database organisational hierarchy.
Synthesis- (combining information to form a unique product)- students
are able to write a response to the question "how would you categorize
a bearded dragon" using the database and previous questions as a
reference (they understand that a snake, iguana, and bearded dragon
are all reptiles).
Evaluation (explain)- Compare and contrast how a human is related to
a reptile, forces learner to understand that they both a vertebrates,
however, forces higher thinking to understand humans are mammals
and vary somewhat from reptiles.

Consistent hyperlinked content
Completeness 8 Good variety of fields, however, not
all subjects are represented or
developed as extensively as others
Accuracy 9 Data seems accurate, most information
needed is present. However, accuracy
is based on the creator- margin for
human error
Instances 9/? Records seem complete, plenty of
examples included. However,
databases are limited by its creator-
not all records and examples could
possibly be included
Questions 10 Includes a “Questions Archive” –
