Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy – Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching

Beth Dichter's insight:

Here is another way to look at Bloom's Taxonomy. The image above is actually interactive. As you mouse over the various colored blocks each will provide information that combines Bloom's cognitive process (which many people in the field of education use daily) and also the knowledge dimension. A short phrase will pop up that can quickly lead to a learning objective.

There is also a table that provides 19 specific cognitive processes based on the cognitive process dimension. A second table provides information on the four knowledge dimensions, with information on the major types and subtypes.

Bloom's Taxonomy is widely used in education and combining these two aspects provides a more robust version of Bloom's work. If you are new to Bloom or you have used his taxonomy, this particular layout may provide you with new information.

GAU is, as me, in reprocessing and restructuring. I do believe that love and freedom will be created, but we have to be patient.

This is a useful tool for generating clear student outcomes.

This is a really interesting look at Bloom's Revised Taxonomies. It's a fantastic way of integrating the Knowledge Dimension. I love this visual!

Stumped by a Problem? This Technique Unsticks You - Association for Psychological Science

Stumped by a Problem? This Technique Unsticks You - Association for Psychological Science | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.psychologicalscience.org - March 11, 2012 9:22 PM

"Stuck solving a problem? Seek the obscure, says Tony McCaffrey, a psychology PhD from the University of Massachusetts. “There’s a classic obstacle to innovation called ‘functional fixedness,’ which is the tendency to fixate on the common use of an object or its parts. It hinders people from solving problems.” McCaffrey has developed a systematic way of overcoming that obstacle: the “generic parts technique” (GPT),..."

Why Students Think They Understand--When They Don't

Why Students Think They Understand--When They Don't | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.aft.org - April 15, 2013 4:39 PM

"Question: Very often, students will think they understand a body of material. Believing that they know it, they stop trying to learn more. But, come test time, it turns out they really don't know the material. Can cognitive science tell us anything about why students are commonly mistaken about what they know and don't know? Are there any strategies teachers can use to help students better estimate what they know?

Answer: There are multiple cues by which each of us assess what we know and don't know. But these cues are fallible, which explains why students sometimes think that they know material better than their classroom performance indicates."

Beth Dichter's insight:

This in-depth post looks at research in the area of cognitive science and shares findings that are applicable to the classroom. It turns out that research shows that two cues are critical (quoted from post):

* our "familiarity" with a given body of information

* our "partial access" to that information

What this means is that students may believe they know the material because they have seen it before. The key here is to remember that there is a difference between "familiarity and recollection."

Partial access "refers to the knowledge that an individual has of either a component of the target material or information closely related to the target material."

The post goes on to explore why students end up woth these two cues. Three ways that students "reach this unfortunate situation" are shared:

* Rereading

* Shallow processing

* Recollecting related information
