Study Notes

Bloom's Taxonomy

A framework for educational achievement
Each level of achievement depends on the level below
Six levels, organized into two groups:
- Low level: Remember, Understand, Apply
- High level: Analyze, Evaluate, Create

Levels of Thinking: Bloom Taxonomy

Remember: Recalling facts and concepts. Making lists, memorizing, repeating, defining, identifying. Does not imply comprehension.
- Example: Biggest city in the UK?
Understand: Explaining ideas, translating, summarizing. Comparing and contrasting information
- Example: What shape would form from combining these four slabs?
Apply: Using learned information in new situations (solving problems). Using what you know to draw connections, solve problems.
Analyze: Drawing connections between ideas. Examining. Breaking information down. Identifying causes, motives, etc.
Evaluate: Justifying a decision by argument, defending, judging, supporting, weighing.
- Example: Why is someone famous
Create: Create full knowledge, design a device, revising a process.
- Example: Invent a new type of apple sauce

Components of Scientific Thinking

Empiricism: Knowledge comes from sense experience
Rationalism: Knowledge comes from logic
Skepticism: Questioning attitude or doubt toward knowledge or belief

Intellectual Standards in Scientific Thinking

Clarity: Clear communication of thoughts, beliefs, and reasons
Accuracy: Correct and error-free information
Precision: Exactness (more detailed than accuracy)
Relevance: Important parts
Depth: Including all necessary aspects
Logic: Reasonable argument
Fairness: Balanced and unbiased argument

Sources of Knowledge

Primary Sources: Direct evidence about an event or topic. Originals, interviews, surveys, fieldwork, pictures, artifacts, sounds.
