Evaluation. This level is concerned with the ability to judge the value of material for a given purpose. The judgments are based on defined criteria that are either developed by the student or given to the student by an outside source. This is considered to be the highest level in the cognitive hierarchy because it contains elements of all the other categories and involves conscious value judgments based on clearly defined criteria. Whereas students at earlier levels of the hierarchy may evaluate what they have read, they typically do so in a subjective manner. Students who master the evaluative level recognize that there are certain preestablished criteria that are used to evaluate source writings. They make distinctions between research and conceptual articles and between conclusions drawn from research, from experience, or from opinion. In addition, using skills gleaned from research courses, they are able to critically evaluate the quality of different research studies and make evaluative comparisons between them. Thus, they can understand and evaluate contradictory research results when differing methodologies caused those contradictions, and they are more likely to accept the ambiguities of contradictory results when they recognize that the field does not always yield clear-cut answers.
