Taxonomy

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. Taxonomies act as guides for instructional designers. They act as key instructions to synchronize instructions, objectives, and assessments, and form arrays of complex cognitive skills. This paper attempts to discuss the influences taxonomies have on…

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…

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…

* Learner objectives were created using blooms taxonomy. Students must predict, which is level 2 (comprehension). Students must then categorize, which falls under level 5(synthesis). ** This falls under creating an effective physical environment for students to learn in. The classroom will be prepared and organized before class starts. The arrangement of the room will already be prepared in a way that is beneficial to the students’ age. The students will be arranged in groups, which will…

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…

During the process of creating my assessment, I really focused on what we learned throughout the semester such as having a variety of question types, reaching more than one level of Bloom’s Taxonomy, straying from giving clues within my questions, and accounting for bias, reliability, validity, and diverse learners. I started out by choosing a lesson that would be a bit easier to put into a written test form (considering art classes are most commonly based on performance). So, I chose…

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…

The Burkholderia Taxonomy and Genomics Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp) belongs to the Burkholderia genus which contains over 40 species that inhabit a variety of ecological niches. The majority of species within this genus are non-pathogenic soil-dwelling bacteria, but a few species are highly pathogenic to humans and can result in severe disease [1]. This includes B. mallei, an obligate mammalian pathogen and the causative agent of glanders, which primarily affects horses and other solipeds…
