EXAMPLES OF COSTA’S LEVELS OF QUESTIONS
Level One questions cause students to recall information. This level of question causes students to input the data into short-term memory, but if they don’t use it in some meaningful way, they may soon forget.
Level Two questions enable students to process information. They expect students to make sense of information they have gathered and retrieved from long-and short-term memory.
Level Three questions require students to go beyond the concepts or principles they have learned and to use these in novel or hypothetical situations.
