Study Notes
Bloom's Taxonomy for Higher Education
- Bloom's Taxonomy organizes learning into cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. Higher education often focuses on the cognitive domain.
- Anderson and Krathwohl revised the cognitive domain, emphasizing the actions learners take to learn (remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create).
- This revised taxonomy aligns with learning objectives and outcomes in higher education.
Learning Objectives and Outcomes
- Learning objectives describe what students will do (actions), and outcomes describe what students will hopefully have done.
- Learning outcomes often follow a format: "In this X (course/program), students will be able to do X (learning aspect) through X (activities) for X (purpose)."
- Examples include:
- Applying chemical concepts to analyze lab work
- Diagnosing diseases in trees in the northern hemisphere.
Using Bloom's Taxonomy in Education
- Educators use the taxonomy to create learning objectives and outcomes to align with assessment strategies.
- This ensures a direct connection between learning objectives and assessment measures (assignments and tests).
- Creating a suitable match between learning and evaluation is key, for example, linking evaluating aspects of a subject with evaluating assessments.
- Example issues arise when testing only recall and understanding when the course aims for application, analysis, and evaluation.
