Study Notes
- Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework that categorizes educational learning objectives by complexity and specificity levels.
- The original taxonomy was published in 1956 and then revised in 2001.
- It is often used when designing educational curricula, assessments, and activities.
Original Taxonomy (1956)
- Knowledge includes the recall of information.
- Comprehension includes understanding the meaning of information.
- Application means using knowledge in a new situation.
- Analysis means breaking down information into component parts.
- Synthesis is combining information to create something new.
- Evaluation is judging the value of information or ideas.
Revised Taxonomy (2001)
- A more dynamic conception of learning is emphasized in the revised taxonomy.
- Knowledge Dimension:
- Factual Knowledge: Basic elements students must know to be acquainted with a discipline or solve problems in it.
- Conceptual Knowledge: Interrelationships among the basic elements within a larger structure.
- Procedural Knowledge: How to do something, methods of inquiry, and criteria for using skills.
- Metacognitive Knowledge: Knowledge of cognition in general, as well as awareness and knowledge of one's own cognition.
- Cognitive Process Dimension:
- Remember: Retrieving relevant knowledge from long-term memory.
- Understand: Determining the meaning of instructional messages, including oral, written, and graphic communication.
- Apply: Carrying out or using a procedure in a given situation.
- Analyze: Breaking material into constituent parts and determining how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure or purpose.
- Evaluate: Making judgments based on criteria and standards.
- Create: Putting elements together to form a novel, coherent whole or make an original product.
Key Differences Between Original and Revised Taxonomy
- Terminology: The original taxonomy used nouns, while the revised taxonomy uses verbs to describe cognitive processes.
- Emphasis: The revised taxonomy emphasizes using knowledge more than simply recalling it.
- Knowledge Dimension: A more detailed classification of learning objectives is possible thanks to the addition of the knowledge dimension in the revised taxonomy.
- Revisions reflect a greater emphasis on active learning.
- The revised version is intended to be more user-friendly and applicable to more educational settings.
Applications of Bloom's Taxonomy
- Curriculum Development: Bloom's Taxonomy can create learning objectives aligned with the desired cognitive complexity level.
- Assessment Design: It assists in creating assessment tasks that measure students’ understanding at different cognitive levels.
- Instructional Strategies: Teachers use the taxonomy to plan activities and lessons that promote higher-order thinking skills.
- Differentiation: The taxonomy assists in differentiating instruction to meet students' diverse learning needs.
- Goal Setting: Students can use the taxonomy to set learning goals and track their progress.
