The KSA is NOT determined by the verb used in the learning objective, but rather in the
context in which the verb is used and the depth of knowledge and skills required.
Example: Three KSA levels using the same verb (describe):
KSA 1 – Describe three characteristics of metamorphic rocks. (simple recall)
KSA 2 – Describe the difference between metamorphic and igneous rocks. (requires
cognitive processing to determine the differences in the two rock types)
KSA 3 – Describe a model that you might use to represent the relationships that exist
within the rock cycle. (requires deep understanding of rock cycle and a determination of
how best to represent it)
