3. History of Bloom’s Taxonomy Bloom's Taxonomy, (Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains/Bloom's 'Taxonomy Of Educational Objectives) Part I -1956 by Dr Benjamin S Bloom Expanded by Bloom and other contributors (Anderson and Krathwhol 2001 Benjamin S Bloom (1913-99) attained degrees at Pennsylvania State University in 1935 joined the Department of Education at the University of Chicago in 1940 and attained a PhD in Education in 1942, specialised in examining

4. Met his mentor Ralph Tyler – Start developing his ideas for developing a system (taxonomy) of specifications to enable educational training and learning objectives to be planned and measured properly - improving the effectiveness of developing 'mastery' instead of simply transferring facts for mindless recall Bloom continued to develop the Learning Taxonomy model through the 1960's, and was appointed Charles H Swift Distinguished Service Professor at Chicago in 1970 He served as adviser on education to several overseas governments including of Israel and India .

5. Focused initially on Cognitive Domain - first published part of Bloom's Taxonomy, featured in the publication: 'Taxonomy Of Educational Objectives: Handbook 1, The Cognitive Domain' (Bloom, Engelhart , Furst , Hill, Krathwohl , 1956 ) Taxonomy Of Educational Objectives: Handbook II, The Affective Domain (Bloom, Masia , Krathwohl ) - deals second domain, Affective Domain in 1964. Various people suggested detail for the third 'Psychomotor Domain', which explains why this domain detail varies in different representations of the complete Bloom Taxonomy . The three most popularly referenced versions of the Psychomotor Domain seem to be those of RH Dave (1967/70),  EJ Simpson (1966/72), and AJ Harrow (1972 ).

6. 'Bloom's Taxonomy' describes the three-domain structure, within which the detail may vary, especially for the third domain.

7. Why Use Bloom’s Taxonomy ? Objectives (learning goals) are important to establish in a pedagogical interchange so that teachers and students alike understand the purpose of that interchange. Organizing objectives helps to clarify objectives for themselves and for students. Having an organized set of objectives helps teachers to: “plan and deliver appropriate instruction”; “design valid assessment tasks and strategies ”; and “ensure that instruction and assessment are aligned with the objectives.”

8. What is a Taxonomy? Taxonomy  means 'a set of classification principles', or ' structure ', and  Domain  simply means ' category ‘

9. Bloom's Taxonomy underlines the classical ' Knowledge, Attitude, Skills ' structure of learning method and evaluation, and aside from the even simpler Kirkpatrick learning evaluation model, Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains remains the most widely used system of its kind in education and corporate training as it is such a simple, clear and effective model, both for explanation and application of learning objectives, teaching and training methods, and measurement of learning outcomes. Bloom's Taxonomy provides an excellent structure for planning, designing, assessing and evaluating training and learning effectiveness .

10. The model also serves as a sort of  checklist , by which you can ensure that training is planned to deliver all the necessary development for students, trainees or learners, and a template by which you can assess the validity and coverage of any existing training, be it a course, a curriculum, or an entire training and development programme for a large organisation.

Evaluate (assess, judge in relational terms)    

12. Cognitive Domain The cognitive domain is focused on intellectual skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and creating a knowledge base It was the first domain created by the original group of Bloom’s researchers The cognitive hierarchy spans from simple memorization designed to build the knowledge of learners, to creating something new based on previously-learned information In this domain, learners are expected to progress linearly through the hierarchy, beginning at "remember" and ending at "create."  The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills.

13. Refers to a conceptualization of knowledge dimensions including factual, conceptual, procedural and meta- cognitive knowledge . The domain of all the interactions in which one can enter without loss of identity ( Maturana & Varela, 1980 , p. 119 ) One of the three domain s of learning identified in Bloom’s taxonomy that focuses on how human beings acquire knowledge. This domain includes learning information, developing thinking, and knowledge-based skills, as well as memory and analytic processes

14.

By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to recite Newton’s three laws of motion.

23. The Revised Taxonomy (2001 ) The authors of the revised taxonomy underscore this dynamism, using verbs and gerunds to label their categories and subcategories (rather than the nouns of the original taxonomy). These “action words” describe the cognitive processes by which thinkers encounter and work with knowledge: Remember Recognizing Recalling Understand Interpreting Exemplifying Classifying Summarizing Inferring Comparing Explaining Apply Executing Implementing

24. The Revised Taxonomy (2001 ) cont. Analyze Differentiating Organizing Attributing Evaluate Checking Critiquing Create Generating Planning Producing

25. In the revised taxonomy, knowledge is at the basis of these six cognitive processes, but its authors created a separate taxonomy of the types of knowledge used in cognition: Factual Knowledge Knowledge of terminology Knowledge of specific details and elements Conceptual Knowledge Knowledge of classifications and categories Knowledge of principles and generalizations Knowledge of theories, models, and structures Procedural Knowledge Knowledge of subject-specific skills and algorithms Knowledge of subject-specific techniques and methods Knowledge of criteria for determining when to use appropriate procedures Metacognitive Knowledge Strategic Knowledge Knowledge about cognitive tasks, including appropriate contextual and conditional knowledge Self-knowledge

26. Bloom’s Taxonomy 1956 Anderson and Krathwohl’s Revised Taxonomy 2001 1.Knowledge:   Remembering or retrieving previously learned material.       1. Remembering:  Recognizing or recalling knowledge from memory. Remembering is when memory is used to produce or retrieve definitions, facts, or lists, or to recite previously learned information.     2. Comprehension: The ability to grasp or construct meaning from material. 2. Understanding :  Constructing meaning from different types of functions be they written or graphic messages or activities like interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, or explaining .   3. Application: The ability to use learned material, or to implement material in new and concrete situations. 3. Applying: Carrying out or using a procedure through executing, or implementing.  Applying relates to or refers to situations where learned material is used through products like models, presentations, interviews or simulations.   

27. Bloom’s Taxonomy 1956 Anderson and Krathwohl’s Revised Taxonomy 2001 4. Analysis: The ability to break down or distinguish the parts of material into its components so that its organizational structure may be better understood.   4. Analyzing :    Breaking materials or concepts into parts, determining how the parts relate to one another or how they interrelate, or how the parts relate to an overall structure or purpose. Mental actions included in this function are differentiating, organizing, and attributing, as well as being able to distinguish between the components or parts. When one is analyzing, he/she can illustrate this mental function by creating spreadsheets, surveys, charts, or diagrams, or graphic representations.   5. Synthesis: (Now Creating #6) The ability to put parts together to form a coherent or unique new whole.  5. Evaluating :  Making judgments based on criteria and standards through checking and critiquing. Critiques, recommendations, and reports are some of the products that can be created to demonstrate the processes of evaluation.  In the newer taxonomy, evaluating comes before creating as it is often a necessary part of the precursory behavior before one creates something.    6. Evaluation: (Now #5) The ability to judge, check, and even critique the value of material for a given purpose. 6. Creating :   Putting elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning, or producing. Creating requires users to put parts together in a new way, or synthesize parts into something new and different creating a new form or product.  This process is the most difficult mental function in the new taxonomy.   

28. Revised vs Original Taxonomy Bloom's Revised Taxonomy not only improved the usability of it by using action words, but added a cognitive and knowledge matrix. While Bloom's original cognitive taxonomy did mention three levels of knowledge or products that could be processed, they were not discussed very much and remained one-dimensional: Factual - The basic elements students must know to be acquainted with a discipline or solve problems. Conceptual – The interrelationships among the basic elements within a larger structure that enable them to function together. Procedural - How to do something, methods of inquiry, and criteria for using skills, algorithms, techniques, and methods.

29. In Krathwohl and Anderson's revised version, the authors combine the cognitive processes with the above three levels of knowledge to form a matrix. In addition, they added another level of knowledge - metacognition: Metacognitive – Knowledge of cognition in general, as well as awareness and knowledge of one’s own cognition. When the cognitive and knowledge dimensions are arranged in a matrix, as shown below, it makes a nice performance aid for creating performance objectives: The Knowledge Dimension Remember Under-stand Apply Analyze Evaluate Create Factual Conceptual Procedural Metacognitive

30. However, others have identified five contents or artifacts (Clark, Chopeta , 2004; Clark, Mayer, 2007): Facts - Specific and unique data or instance. Concepts - A class of items, words, or ideas that are known by a common name, includes multiple specific examples, shares common features. There are two types of concepts: concrete and abstract. Processes - A flow of events or activities that describe how things work rather than how to do things. There are normally two types: business processes that describe work flows and technical processes that describe how things work in equipment or nature. They may be thought of as the big picture, of how something works. Procedures - A series of step-by-step actions and decisions that result in the achievement of a task. There are two types of actions: linear and branched. Principles - Guidelines, rules, and parameters that govern. It includes not only what should be done, but also what should not be done. Principles allow one to make predictions and draw implications. Given an effect, one can infer the cause of a phenomena. Principles are the basic building blocks of causal models or theoretical models (theories). Thus, the new matrix would look similar to this:

31. Affective Domain Feeling , emotions - attitude - 'feel' Bloom's Taxonomy second domain, the Affective Domain, was detailed by Bloom, Krathwhol and Masia in 1964 (Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: Volume II, The Affective Domain. Bloom, Krathwohl and Masia .) Bloom's theory advocates this structure and sequence for developing attitude - also now commonly expressed in the modern field of personal development as 'beliefs‘ Again , as with the other domains, the Affective Domain detail provides a framework for teaching, training, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of training and lesson design and delivery, and also the retention by and affect upon the learner or trainee.

32. Affective Domain (R2VOC)  level category or 'level' behaviour descriptions examples of experience, or demonstration and evidence to be measured 'key words' (verbs which describe the activity to be trained or measured at each level) 1 Receive open to experience, willing to hear listen to teacher or trainer, take interest in session or learning experience, take notes, turn up, make time for learning experience, participate passively ask, listen, focus, attend, take part, discuss, acknowledge, hear, be open to, retain, follow, concentrate, read, do, feel 2 Respond react and participate actively participate actively in group discussion, active participation in activity, interest in outcomes, enthusiasm for action, question and probe ideas, suggest interpretation react, respond, seek clarification, interpret, clarify, provide other references and examples, contribute, question, present, cite, become animated or excited, help team, write, perform 3 Value attach values and express personal opinions decide worth and relevance of ideas, experiences; accept or commit to particular stance or action argue, challenge, debate, refute, confront, justify, persuade, criticise,

37. Reflex Sample learning outcome: Instinctively respond to a physical stimulus. Sample assessment/activity: A game of dodgeball . Rationale: Learners must react (dodge) the balls that are being thrown at them, allowing them to develop their reflexive skills. Basic fundamental movements Sample learning outcome: Perform a simple action (including running and throwing). Sample assessment/activity: A game of dodgeball . Rationale: Learners must run and throw to actively engage the opposing team, allowing them to develop these skills. Perceptual abilities Sample learning outcome: Use more than one ability to integrate different sensory perceptions. Sample assessment/activity: A game of catch or soccer (or other game involving movement and passing). Rationale: Learners must integrate running, visual information about the position of the ball, and predictive information about the future position of the ball .

38. Physical abilities Sample learning outcome: Sustain an activity for a set period of time. Sample assessment/activity: Run for 25 minutes steadily. Rationale: This activity is a measure of the learner’s stamina and physical fitness. Skilled movements Sample learning outcome: Adapt one’s behaviour and movement to better achieve goals. Sample assessment/activity: A soccer or other strategic game (football, hockey). Rationale: This activity allows teams to change their strategy and individuals to change their physical behaviour depending on the response of the other team. Non-discursive communication Sample learning outcome: Express oneself through purposeful movement and activity. Sample assessment/activity: A soccer or other strategic game (football, hockey) Rationale: These games all involve teamwork, strategy, and integrative and purposeful movement. Successful teams must integrate all of their senses, communicate through movement, and use a variety of adaptive strategies.
