Bloom’s Taxonomy • In 1956, Benjamin Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists who developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior important in learning. • This became a taxonomy including three overlapping domains; • the cognitive, • the psychomotor, and • the affective.
Bloom’s as a Hierarchy • It is helpful to think of the hierarchy: • “Knowledge” as lower-level task. • “Evaluate” as upper-level task.
Using Bloom’s Framework? • When to use lower-level objectives? • When to use upper-level objectives? • What constraints (cognitive, etc.) may be of consideration?
Using Bloom’s Framework? • [ask students to consider when to plan/use lower vs. higher-level objectives] when planning material. • E.g. new material should emphasize lower-level objectives. • E.g. concrete thinkers may have difficulty with upper-level type objectives. • Etc.
