1、Blooms Taxonomy,Benjamin S. Bloom February 21, 1913-September 13, 1999,Benjamin Bloom,In 1956, Benjamin Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists at the University of Chicago This group developed a classification of levels of thinkingbehaviors thought to be important in the processes of lear

The assumption:abilities can be measured along acontinuum from plain andsimple to rather complex.,Blooms Taxonomy,Each subsequent level in the taxonomy is dependant on ones ability to perform at the level or levels that precede it.,Blooms Taxonomy,Blooms work not only served to define what lea

3、rning had been achieved, it could also be used to specify the learning desired in an objective.,Blooms Taxonomy,Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluation,Knowledge,Knowledge level learning (aka memory level) requires a person to exhibit previously learned material by recallin

4、g facts, terms, basic concepts and answers. Two levels of Knowledge: Simple Knowledge Knowledge of Process,Knowledge,Simple Knowledge: the content to be remembered involves no more than a single response to a particular stimulus. Example: What is the capital of Australia?,Knowledge,Knowledge of Proc

5、ess: the content to be remembered is a sequence of steps. Example: List the steps used to determine the standard deviation from a given set of scores.,Comprehension,Comprehension - demonstrating understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating, interpreting, giving descriptions

6、 and stating main ideas.,Comprehension,Comprehension,Comprehension,1 + 1 = 2,Application,Solving problems by applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a given situation or in a different way.,Application,Example: From observing symptoms of a person in distress, students determine w

7、hether or not cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should be initiated.,Application,Do not confuse application with knowledge of process: Students demonstrate appropriate procedures for administering CPR to a person.,Analysis,Examining and breaking information into parts by identifying motives or cau

Example: Prove or disprove the following statement: “Any number divided by zero is zero”,Blooms Taxo

11、nomy,Students will state the Pythagorean Theorem (cognitive, simple knowledge). a2 + b2 = c2,Blooms Taxonomy,Given two sides of a right triangle, students use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length of the third side (cognitive, knowledge of process).,6,8,C,Blooms Taxonomy,Students properly

12、use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems (cognitive, application). “What is the height of the schools flag pole?” “Is the corner of the room square?” “How many gallons of paint are needed to paint the walls of this room?”,Blooms Taxonomy,Students recognize the Pythagorean Theorem in various for

13、ms (cognitive, analysis). What is the relationship of the Pythagorean Theorem to the following two equations? sin2 + cos2 = 1,Blooms Taxonomy,Demonstrate a mathematical proof of the Pythagorean Theorem (cognitive, evaluation).,Blooms Taxonomy,Goal: students will be able to multiply Simple Knowledge:

14、 3 x 6 = 18 Comprehension: 3x6 = 6+6+6 = 3+3+3+3+3+3 = 18,Blooms Taxonomy,Goal: students will be able to multiply Application: You and your friends Amy, Ed, Jill, Pat, and Bob want to go to the movie. If tickets cost $3 each, how much money will the group need to pay for the movie?,Blooms Taxonomy,Goal: students will be able to multiply Analysis:,Blooms Taxonomy,Goal: students will be able to multiply Synthesis: Does the illustration demonstrate that 3 x 6 = 18?,Blooms Taxonomy,Goal: students will be able to multiply Evaluat
