Table 3 PECSL experience complexity levels, with learning evaluation descriptors, Bloom's Revised & SOLO taxonomies
Experience complexity | Cat A Tasks and obligations | Cat B Discussing | Cat C Being there | Cat D Knowledge and place as value | Surface to deep learning descriptor relationships | Bloom’s revised | SOLO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Level 4 | Research tasks and topic beforehand, take time doing and reflecting on tasks | Share tasks and content, do additional learning, discuss related experience and knowledge | Live it, being in the picture, live the atmosphere, take more time, seeing the whole and related parts | Knowing and seeing knowledge and place as valuable, personal experience, deeper engagement and ‘possibilities’ | DEEP APPROACH shows (more) intentionality for tasks, topic, knowledge and locations to contribute to deeper argument; to understand further potential interpretation (inter/intra); wider significance, related contexts beyond task, location, activity | 5/6 | 4/5 |
Level 3 | Tasks indirectly related to coursework or assessment | Discuss tasks and topic in relation to time and place | Experience in the place relating to other people, aspects and memories. Make connections between places and knowledge | Engage further with knowledge in topics, create upload content for tasks and at locations | SURFACE TO DEEP #2 moving towards ‘argument’ concepts; tasks and journey begin to be seen as indirectly relevant to wider settings; more reliant on imagination, creativity, inventiveness, inspiration, ideas, application | 4 | 3/4 |
Level 2 | Do the tasks of interest, directly related to coursework or assessment | Discuss the tasks, help each other with tasks and tech | Locations are of some interest, potential for learning, creativity or inspiration | Click a few content links, save links ‘for later’, make screenshots of augmentations or tasks | SURFACE TO DEEP #1 some engagement with ‘viewpoint’, building elements of meaning and connection resulting from the journey participation. More of activity engagement, closely related to tasks, locations | 3 | 3 |
Level 1 | Do the tasks, go home | Discuss who does the tasks, how technology works | Go to locations, do tasks, go home | No engagement with content or knowledge, don’t create or upload content | SURFACE APPROACH shows (simple) intentionality of doing tasks as fact, ‘arrangement’ only. The bare minimum required. May show little (if any) engagement, participation | 1/2 | 1/2 |
