Bloom's Taxonomy

This knowledge will ultimately lead to the student’s future career success; however, achieving the necessary proficiency is only possible through developing a student’s ability to think critically. Bloom’s Taxonomy provides the necessary guide to posing questions that will ultimately lead to a student thoroughly understanding the subject. These questions within Bloom’s Taxonomy are classified under six domains: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. However only the “Analyzing, evaluating and creating domains are higher order levels of thinking” (Santrock, 2010, p. 405). By asking high order level thinking math questions and allowing students to reach their own conclusions based on the given information, students acquire knowledge applicable to future financial, distribution and construction situations. Because this knowledge is relevant in daily life, the student will find the information meaningful or elaborative, which according to Santrock “is more likely to be remembered” (Santrock, 2010, p. 264), thus providing evidentiary support for using Bloom’s Taxonomy. This practice helps teachers fulfill their responsibility to provide students with a deeper understanding of the applicable knowledge that will contribute to their future…

Taxonomies in Contemporary Higher Education Introduction Bloom’s taxonomy is a classification of knowledge a person acquires in a learning process. This article presents a design experience and developing educational tools under the pedagogical framework described by Bloom. Taxonomies are tools used by curriculum designers for presenting information and promoting students learning. Through specific taxonomies, learners should develop comprehension of the material for enhancing knowledge levels.…

The central focus of this learning segment is for students to be able to form an interpretation of a poem based on information that is presented in the text. Because the central focus is for students to be able to interpret the meaning of a poem, students will need to explore content on a lower level of Bloom’s taxonomy before they are ready to utilize higher level thinking skills. The first lesson begins with students “defining” characteristics of poetry, such as those associated with poetic…

Cognitive Learning: Discuss at least three group concepts that impacted you. Use Bloom’s Taxonomy – Cognitive Domain Our group processing class was thought-provoking, in the sense that, it was an online group, with rules, but no set objectives and goals. We met for four sessions and discussed issues at random. Our foundation was one from a biblical standpoint and although we all attend a Christian University, I often wondered if any member was uncomfortable with that standpoint. I was encouraged…

Title The test preparation strategy that worked best for me was Bloom’s Taxonomy. The first thing I did before reading chapters 3 and 4 was to review it. I went through both chapters and counted how many pages each chapters was. I also looked for any boded words or vocabulary words that stood out to me and made should to highlight them so I can go back later and look up the word and define it in my own words so I can have a better understanding of it. What I did next was read the text and made a…

Bloom In each of Bloom’s three taxonomies (cognitive, affective, and psychomotor), lower levels provide a base for higher levels of learning (Bloom, 1956; Kauchak&Eggen, 1998). The lower level such as comprehension and application relates to higher order skills. The need for mastering of the lower levels are important as they need to be able to apply these skills in various situation before continue with higher order skills include analysis, synthesis, and evaluation (McDavitt, 1993). Higher…

in this passage, falls in between two speeches by Lui, as observed in the taxonomy section of this paper. This is relevant to the relationship between both taxonomic elements as they support one another in Lui’s discussion; speech to intertext shows that Lui can correctly connect outside evidence to his previously stated argument. Following intertext back to the element of another speech, Lui demonstrates his ability to associate his previous knowledge into another point of speech. On to the…

Associates, Inc. Bloom’s Taxonomy Bloom’s Taxonomy is a system that shows the different levels of knowledge. It has 6 levels and with each level increases so does the knowledge level. This system includes verbs for each level and as a teacher is planning, he or she can reference this system to see what depth of learning they want their students to have. The levels are as follows in order from lowest to highest: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, creating. I…

In my class cadets will be required to analyze, apply, and test knowledge based on previous learning. We will use Bloom’s Taxonomy because it will help to increase our understanding of the educational process. Also, it will allow us to see how lower-level skills build into a higher level order of thinking. The model will help to rank teaching material and allow us to arrange lessons plans to capitalize on class time. For example, we will make sure that lower level skills are developed before…
