D-I.

Organise information / data using a simple prescribed structure and process.

Whether note-taking, essay or report writing or data recording, students at Level I require set structures and processes to follow. Such prescriptions model appropriate practice in a discipline, and are very useful for many students new to that discipline. It is often of little benefit for students to have a high degree of independence if they are not able to practice within appropriate disciplinary boundaries. It is appropriate for students to be given lower levels of autonomy, scaffolded with corresponding levels of structure before students are enabled to break out of disciplinary boundaries. At Level 1, students use given structures or procedures to organise single source of information or data, or simple structures/processes to organise information from more than one source.
