Learning levels

The same topic should not be taught in the same way at every age.

ClassMirror uses the learning level to adjust the wording of questions, the expected depth of reasoning, the complexity of documents and the tools that are useful for the response.

Learning levels

A progressive learning path

A more precise school profile can identify the learner's year. The public categories below show the main progression.

01

Primary

Shorter questions, familiar vocabulary, concrete situations and limited cognitive load. The objective is to make the task understandable without oversimplifying the idea being learned.

Concrete examples · guided reasoning · essential tools
02

Middle school

Clear explanations, first structured justifications, interpretation of simple documents and progressive use of disciplinary vocabulary.

Explain · compare · calculate · interpret
03

High school

More structured reasoning, stronger disciplinary vocabulary, multi-step tasks, data analysis and more autonomous use of mathematical or visual tools when needed.

Reason · model · analyse · justify
04

Higher education / University

Detailed concepts, rigorous reasoning, greater autonomy, denser documents and questions that can require synthesis, formalisation or critical analysis.

Formalise · demonstrate · synthesise · evaluate
Q

Questions adapt to the level

A primary learner should not receive the same wording or expected justification as a university learner, even when the broad topic is similar.

D

Documents also change

A simple table may be appropriate at one level, while a denser graph, source document or multi-variable dataset may be suitable later.

T

Tools follow both level and task

Advanced tools should not be displayed to a learner who does not need them. The question remains the main trigger for the response tools.

ClassMirror

Profile-based level

When a learner has a school profile, ClassMirror can use that level automatically rather than asking the learner to choose an unrelated level for each session.
