Study Notes
Bloom's Taxonomy
- A set of three hierarchical models created by Dr. Benjamin Bloom to promote higher forms of thinking in education, such as evaluating and analyzing concepts, processes, procedures, and principles.
Purpose of Bloom's Taxonomy
- To help teachers ask students questions to ascertain how much they know and understand.
- To promote higher forms of thinking in education, moving beyond simply remembering facts.
The Six Levels of Bloom's Taxonomy
Remembering
- The most basic level of Bloom's model, requiring students to recall previously learned or imparted information.
- Questions at this level: "True or false?", "Who/What/When/Where?" format.
Understanding
- Requires students to comprehend the meaning of learned information and summarize it in their own words.
- Questions at this level: "Can you explain why?", "Can you summarize what you've learned?"
Applying
- Challenges students to take what they've learned, evaluate it, and apply it to new situations.
- Questions at this level: "Can you think of comparable alternatives?", "How would you apply this in a real-life situation?"
Analysing
- Requires students to break down information, understand how it's structured, and identify relationships between different elements.
- Questions at this level: "How does this work?", "What are the relationships between different elements?"
Evaluating
- Requires students to develop their own opinions and personal responses to the topic, evaluating information and making judgments.
- Questions at this level: "What would you have done in this situation?", "How do you feel about this topic?"
Creating
- The highest level, requiring students to generate creative solutions to problems based on learned information.
- Questions at this level: "What if...", "Can you design a new solution to this problem?"
Benjamin Bloom
- An American educational psychologist born in 1913.
- Created the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives in 1956, which contained Bloom's model.
Mastery Learning
- A theoretical framework proposed by Bloom, where children's failure to grasp or master a lesson is seen as a failing of the instruction or teaching, not a lack of ability.
