Unistructural Level
At this stage, the learner gets to know just a single relevant aspect of
a task or subject; the student gets a basic understanding of a concept
or task. Therefore, a student is able to make easy and apparent
connections, but he or she does not have any idea how significant
that information be or not. In addition, the students’ response
indicates a concrete understanding of the task, but it focuses on only
one relevant aspect.
Multistructural Level
At this stage, students gain an understanding of numerous relevant
independent aspects. Despite understanding the relationship between
different aspects, its relationship to the whole remains unclear. Suppose
the teacher is teaching about several topics and ideas, the students can
make varied connections, but they fail to understand the significance of
the whole. The students’ responses are based on relevant aspects, but
their responses are handled independently.
Relational Level
This stage relates to aspects of knowledge combining to form a
structure. By this stage, the student is able to understand the
importance of different parts in relation to the whole. They are able to
connect concepts and ideas, so it provides a coherent knowledge of the
whole thing. Moreover, the students' response indicates an
understanding of the task by combining all the parts, and they can
demonstrate how each part contributes to the whole.

1. In writing a superstem in a relational level, the students need to use two or more discrete
closures directly related to separate pieces of relevant information contained in the stem.
2. The students answer that sodium chloride, unlike carbon dioxide, is an ionic compound and as
such is made from a metal and a non-metal, and has a high melting point, it is soluble in water and
the solution will conduct electricity. However, since it is a compound and not a mixture it is, like
carbon dioxide a pure substance made from more than one element with a constant composition.
Carbon dioxide is a covalent compound and therefore is formed by two non-metals, it is not readily
soluble in water and does not conduct electricity. This is an example of multistructural level of
SOLO model.
3. Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. It is made from a metal and a non-metal. It has a high
melting point. It is soluble in water, and it conducts electricity. Carbon dioxide is a covalent
compound. It may be a solid liquid or a gas. It is formed by two non-metals. This is an example of
multistructural level.
4. Sodium chloride is an example of an ionic compound. This is an example of unistructural level
of of SOLO model.
5. Words used for unistructural level are: identify, name,follow a simple procedure and forward
