Analysing the cognitive rigor of interprofessional curriculum using the Depth of Knowledge framework.

The objective of this study was to analyse the curriculum content to determine its cognitive rigor. Cognitive rigor can be measured by the quantitative content analysis method using the Depth of Knowledge (DOK) framework. This approach tests whether the rigor of instructional activities and assessments is aligned with learning outcomes. The curriculum content evaluated in this study found that assessment activities were less demanding than instructional activities and infrequently aligned with learning outcomes. This approach may be useful to other educators seeking to evaluate and plan interprofessional curriculum. PMID: 28486026 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
