Taking a good look at BLOOM´S TAXONOMY



I mentioned Bloom´s  Taxonomy yesterday and though to post more information on it. Please take a good look at a tool that can be of great help for you as a future teacher.


BLOOM´S TAXONOMY

From www.fractuslearning.com

Over sixty years ago, Benjamin Bloom directed the committee of educators responsible for delivering what we all know today as BLOOM´S TAXONOMY, in an effort to promote higher forms of thinking  in education. The idea was to make students analyze and evaluate information rather than just remembering facts.

This classification is a key foundation to many modern  teaching  philosophies and learning  methodologies. Bloom´s Taxonomy gives a theoretical progression to help classify learning objectives

For a teacher, Bloom´s Taxonomy is an excellent tool to write learning objectives. Watch this video to learn more about the six levels of the taxonomy and how to write a learning objective.
