Study Notes

Learning Outcomes

The aim of learning outcomes is to guide the planning of the "scaffolding" process.

Scaffolding

Scaffolding in education provides support and guidance to students as they learn new concepts or skills.
Scaffolding depends on the content and context.

Taxonomies

Bloom's Taxonomy, Anderson's revision of Bloom's Taxonomy, and Miller's Pyramid are used to assess, especially in healthcare student training.
Bloom's Taxonomy and Miller's Pyramid provide a guide for assessing students' cognitive abilities, helping them progress through the learning taxonomy.

Learning Outcomes and Scaffolding

Learning outcomes are included in syllabuses, lectures, planned experiential learning, and reading lists.

Bloom's Taxonomy with Anderson's Revisions

Bloom's Taxonomy, with Anderson's revisions, is a hierarchical classification of cognitive skills.
The levels are: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating.
Moving from one level to the next requires higher-order thinking skills.

Miller's Pyramid

Miller's Pyramid is another taxonomy that describes the different levels of clinical competency.
The levels are: Knows, Knows How, Shows How, Does.
The higher the level, the greater the complexity of the task.
