Taxonomy

The top two levels of the taxonomy involve synthesis and evaluation. Synthesis involves the collection of information in relation to a particular subject and organizing them in a manner that clearly showcases the differences or similarities that exist. Evaluation involves the in-depth assessment of information that has been collected and the development of conclusions based on existing theories. Both of these are important when thinking and communicating within a scholarly environment. Research…

Taxonomy was developed by Benjamin Bloom originally improve university examines. It is the concept that educational objectives should be classified into three different domains: cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Taxonomy is essentially organizing objectives into a hierarchy, all the skills build with each other. Them being less effective if an objective is…

Essay Question: What is the difference between the way race is defined in the United States and in Brazil? List the Brazilian folk taxonomy of "tipos" and how to translate "tipos" into U.S. racial categories. Race is a myth. In another word, what looks like a difference in biological variability, is in fact, merely a difference in cultural classification. Similarly, anthropologist have stressed that U.S. racial groups are American cultural structures that depict the way Americans categorize…

The progress of learning can be assessed in many different ways, as learning in this course. However, for this paper I am going to focus on the assessment of learning using Bloom’s Taxonomy, which consist of three domains; cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Within each of these domains, a teach and/or learner can assess the learners level of competence. For example, the cognitive phase is broken down into the knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation phases of…

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…

agree to withhold treatment or refuse treatment. On the other hand, passive non-voluntary is when patients’ health fails to prolong their life. In either case, the doctors can euthanize the patients without having a conscience. In an article of “A Taxonomy of Euthanasia”, the author points out that “The difference between passive and active euthanasia is that in passive euthanasia ‘the doctor does not do anything to bring about the patient’s death, and the patient dies of whatever ills…

Through oppression, slavery, and conquest, race as a powerful social category was forged historically. Most geneticists agree that racial taxonomies at the DNA level are invalid. Genetic alterations within any selected racial group are normally greater than differences between racial groups (Cosmides, Tooby, & Kurzban, 2003;Duster, 2009). Race" and "ethnicity" are compound terms which are often used conversely. The terms were divided to label “race” as a biological quality and “ethnicity” as…

In comparing Pappas and Tolisano’s taxonomies, Tolisano’s reflection of taxonomies has more connection to me in terms of my learning process and self-development in this class. As we can see, the bottom of the pyramid (the foundation), the very base consists of a big block structure and it gets little as it reaches the top. Similarly, my learning process in this class started to have a big, scattered, overwhelming pieces of ideas, then as the class progress, those ideas became smaller yet…

The selected teaching and learning approach of differentiation has the potential to enhance student participation, engagement and achievement through the use of two effective frameworks. The differentiation framework of Bloom and SOLO Taxonomy. Firstly looking at the framework of Bloom´s thinking skills, it has the differentiating ability to challenge the levels of learning and cognitive process, as well as the breadth and depth of content, with the embodiment of motivating a wider range of…

the content the content being taught on their level. Second, if you use UDL to present the content in multiple ways students will access the content and develop and understanding of it. Third, UDL helps students move through the stages of Blooms Taxonomy of learning especially from remembering to understanding and to understanding to applying. Fourth, when planning lesson teachers need to plan for student considerations that are meaningful and beneficial for students. Once, I started to teach my…
