Study Notes
Bloom's Taxonomy
- Introduced by Benjamin Bloom in 1956 as a hierarchical system of cognitive abilities.
- It aids eLearning designers in defining the learning objectives of a course.
- Helps identify learners' typical behavior, which in turn helps shape learning objectives.
- The original taxonomy has been revised in 2001.
6 Cognitive Abilities
- Remembering - Recalling pre-learned concepts. Materials: Textual content, infographics. Tests: Entry tests, true or false questions, multiple choice questions.
- Understanding - Testing knowledge of participants to see if content is clear and understandable. Materials: Multimedia like videos, animations and graphics. Tests: Short questions during videos.
- Applying - Practical application of knowledge. Materials: Scenario-based learning and role playing. Tests: Problem-solving exercises and simulations.
- Analyzing - Developing stronger knowledge of the subject. Activities: Social learning, case studies.
- Evaluating - Participants become mentors. Test: Evaluation of colleagues' activities.
- Creating - Participants produce original content and solutions. Test: Designing a new procedure, proposing tools to optimize existing workflows.
Practical Application
- Remembering - Recall previously acquired facts and data. Test: True & false, completion, multiple choice.
- Understanding - Understand and organize facts and ideas. Test: Comprehension test: multiple choice.
- Applying - Solve problems in a context using knowledge acquired in another context. Test: Transfer test: Projects and research.
- Analyzing - Examine information to identify causes, make inferences, and find supporting evidence. Test: Logical thinking, case studies.
- Evaluating - Express a judgment and defend an opinion based on a set of criteria. Test: Critical thinking, peer evaluation.
- Creating - Create something original by combining information in a different way or proposing alternative solutions to a problem. Test: Prototype creation, original presentation.
Conclusion
- Applying Bloom's Taxonomy in eLearning helps to achieve better results by facilitating users in progressively reaching their learning goals.
