HISTORY • The Original Bloom’s Taxonomy • Taxonomy of Cognitive Objectives • 1950 s - developed by Benjamin Bloom, et al (40 people) • The name “Bloom’s Taxonomy” came from the first editor listed on the book – being Benjamin Bloom • Means of expressing qualitatively different kinds of intellectual skills and abilities • Been adapted for classroom use as a planning tool • Provides a way to organize thinking skills into six levels, from the most basic to the more complex levels of thinking

Benjamin Bloom (1913 -1999) chart maker of the cognitive domain. . . Bloom's contributions to education began during his years in the Office of the Board of Examiners at the University of Chicago (1940 -1959). There he headed a group of cognitive psychologists who published the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Handbook 1: Cognitive Domain (Bloom, B. , Englehart, M. Furst, E. , Hill, W. , & Krathwohl, D. (1956). In 1959 Bloom spent a year at the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. This year marked a shift in his research. He spent the next 40 years researching problems in learning, rather than problems in testing, measurement, and evaluation. Funny. His latter work never reached the “stature” that educators were to give the taxonomic work. . . work in which he himself had lost interest.

Bloom’s Cognitive Taxonomy the classic cognitive domain taxonomy. . . • The Bloom group’s six level classification for intellectual behaviors important in learning puts forward the idea that not all learning objectives and outcomes have equal merit. In the absence of a classification-system (a taxonomy), teachers may choose, for example, to emphasize memorization of facts rather than emphasizing other (and likely more important) learned capabilities. • State level curriculum design did not reflect the intent of such a taxonomy until the late 1990 s. • In actual practice, the 6 levels are often reduced to 3 levels. • During the 1990's a new group of cognitive psychologists, lead by Lorin Anderson (a student of Bloom's), updated the taxonomy reflecting relevance to 21 st century work (see next slide). • By the way, the Bloom group also worked on the Affective Domain Taxonomy.

Taxonomy = Classification of thinking Six cognitive levels of complexity

Taxonomy • The practice and science of classification. • Greek o “taxis” arrangement or division, o “nomos” law

Other common forms of classification: • Ontology • Folksonomy

Ontology • An ontology in computer science and information science is a formal representation of a set of concepts within a domain and the relationships between those concepts. • . . . an ontology defines a set of representational primitives with which to model a domain of knowledge or discourse. • Ontology in Philosophy o o o Different to computing Study of the nature of being, existence or reality in general, Deals with questions concerning what entities exist or can be grouped, related within a hierarchy, and subdivided according to similarities and differences. Part of the major branch of philosophy, metaphysics.

Levels of Thinking Benjamin Bloom, a psychologist, identified the kinds of thinking humans do. He created a TAXONOMY (a classification) of the different levels of thinking our brains can engage in.

FRONTLOADING! • Blooms Taxonomy was originally created Benjamin Bloom for categorizing and classifying the levels of intellectual learning that commonly occur in the classroom setting. • It is important that teachers do not just teach lower order thinking skills at the bottom of Blooms Taxonomy such as knowledge and comprehension, but also teach higher order thinking skills at the top of blooms taxonomy such as synthesis and evaluation. • When students are using the higher order thinking skills they are more likely to retain information, perform better on standardized tests, and most importantly, achieve the ultimate goal of becoming lifelong learners.

The 6 Levels of Bloom’s Evaluation Synthesis Analysis Application Comprehension Knowledge

Original Terms New Terms • Evaluation • Creating • Synthesis • Evaluating • Analysis • Analyzing • Application • Applying • Comprehension • Understanding • Knowledge • Remembering

Creating Evaluating Analyzing Applying Understanding Remembering • Changes were based on 50+ years of consistent history of using Taxonomy for Learning Teaching and Assessing (Bloom’s Taxonomy) • The names of six major categories were changed from noun to verb forms. • The word knowledge was inappropriate to describe a category of thinking and was replaced with the word remembering instead • . • Comprehension and synthesis were retitled to understanding and creating respectively, in order to better reflect the nature of the thinking defined in each category. • Create took the place of Synthesis and moved to signify a more cognitively complex position on the matrix

Bloom’s Taxonomy • Benjamin Bloom formulated a classification of "the goals of the educational process” (1948 Convention of the American Psychological Association) • 3 "domains" of educational activities identified: 1. Cognitive Domain (knowledge, comprehension, and critical thinking) 2. Affective Domain (the way people react emotionally) 3. Psychomotor Domain (ability to physically manipulate a tool or instrument )

Cognitive Domain Analyzing Applying Creating Affective Domain Characterizing by value or value concept Evaluating Organizing & conceptualizing Remembering Receiving Understanding Responding Valuing Psychomotor Domain Articulating Imitating Manipulating Performing Precisioning

The Cognitive Domain • Involves knowledge and the development of intellectual attitudes and skills • A hierarchy of educational objectives • Subdivisions ranging from the simplest behaviour to the most complex

Analysing Key scienfitic instuments that we (comp sci’s) use Bloom’s Taxonomy • Analysing refers to the ability to break down material into its component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood. It is one of the key scienfitic instuments that we use in computer science. • This may include the identification of parts, analysis of the relationship between parts, and recognition of the organizational principles involved. • Learning outcomes here represent a higher intellectual level than comprehension and application because they require an understanding of both the content and the structural form of the material. • Examples of learning objectives at this level are: recognize unstated assumptions recognises logical fallacies in reasoning distinguish between facts and inferences evaluate the relevancy of data analyse the organizational structure of a work (art, music, writing) o can the student distinguish between the different parts? o o o University of Cape Town http: //web. uct. ac. za/projects/cbe/mcqman/mcqappc. html

Evaluating Bloom’s Taxonomy • Evaluating is concerned with the ability to judge the value of material (statement, novel, poem, research report) for a given purpose. • The judgments are to be based on definite criteria. These may be internal criteria (organization) or external criteria (relevance to the purpose) and the student may determine the criteria or be given them. • Learning outcomes in this area contain elements of all the other categories, plus conscious value judgments based on clearly defined criteria. • Examples of learning objectives at this level are: o judge the logical consistency of written material, o judge the adequacy with which conclusions are supported by data o judge the value of a work (art, music, writing) by the use of internal criteria o judge the value of a work (art, music, writing) by use of external standards of excellence University of Cape Town http: //web. uct. ac. za/projects/cbe/mcqman/mcqappc. html

Affective Domains of Bloom’s Taxonomy

Affective Domain • The affective domain (Krathwohl, Bloom, Masia, 1973) includes the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes. The five major categories are listed from the simplest behavior to the most complex: • Krathwohl, D. R. , Bloom, B. S. , & Masia, B. B. (1973). Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, the Classification of Educational Goals. Handbook II: Affective Domain. New York: David Mc. Kay Co. , Inc.

Affective Domain • The affective domain the most important of the learning domains’ objective has been developed by D. R. Krathwohl. Like the Bloom taxonomy, Krathwohl's hierarchy attempts to arrange these objectives in an order of difficulty. • Since the affective domain is concerned with a student's attitudes, personal beliefs, and values, measuring educational objectives in this domain is not easy. • For example, Observable safety-related behavior indicates a positive attitude, but this is not like a simple pass/fail test that can be used to evaluate cognitive educational objective levels.

Cont….

Affective Domain (Krathwohl, 1964) A taxonomy of 5 levels – students gradually evolve into higher levels. 1. Receiving - The lowest level; the student passively pays attention. Without this level no learning can occur. 2. Responding - The student actively participates in the learning process, not only attends to a stimulus, the student also reacts in some way. 3. Valuing - The student attaches a value to (or has a preference for) an object, phenomenon, or piece of information. 4. Organizing - The student can conceptualize a value and value differences by comparing, relating and elaborating on what has been learned. 5. Characterizing or Value Complex - The student has held a particular value or belief that now exerts influence on his/her behavior so that it becomes a characteristic and is part of her/his lifestyle.

The Affective Domain Receiving Responding Valuing Being aware of or attending to something in the environment Showing some new behaviors as a result of experience Showing some definite involvement or commitment Krathwohl, D. , Bloom, B. , & Masia, B. (1956). Taxonomy of educational objectives. Handbook II: Affective domain. New York: David Mc. Kay.

The Affective Domain Organization Characterization by Value Integrating a new value into one's general set of values, giving it some ranking among one's general priorities. Acting consistently with the new value; person is known by the value.

Affective Domain The affective domain addresses the acquisition of attitudes and values. The taxonomy contains five levels that can be remembered by the following mnemonic device: Receiving Responding Valuing Organization Characterization www. rhinocerospie. com/. . . / archive-072004. html Regular Rude Vices Offend Christ Krathwohl, D. , et al.

Psychomotor Domains of Bloom’s Taxonomy

Psychomotor Domain (physical - skills -'do') • The Psychomotor Domain was ostensibly established to address skills development relating to manual tasks and physical movement, however it also concerns and covers modern day business and social skills such as communications and operation IT equipment, for example telephone and keyboard skills, or public speaking. http: //www. businessballs. com/bloomstaxonomyoflearningdom ains. htm

Psychomotor Habit Practice Imitation

Psychomotor Domain • There are several taxonomies which deal with the psychomotor domain (physical skills), but none are as popularly recognized as the Bloom and Krathwohl taxonomies. However, the taxonomy developed by E. J. Simpson also is generally acceptable. • Psychomotor or physical skills always have been important in aviation. Typical activities involving these skills include learning to fly a precision instrument approach procedure, programming a GPS receiver, or using sophisticated maintenance equipment. As physical tasks and equipment become more complex, the requirement for integration of cognitive and physical skills increases.

Process of becoming aware of objects, qualities, etc by The Psychomotor Domain way of senses. Basic in Perception situation-interpretation-action chain leading to motor activity. Set Readiness for a particular kind of action or experience; may be mental, physical or emotional. Simpson, J. S. (1966). The classification of educational objectives, psychomotor domain. Office of Education Project No. 5 -85 -104. Urbana, IL: University of Illinois.

The Psychomotor Domain Overt behavioral act under Guided Response Mechanism guidance of an instructor, or following model or set criteria. Learned response becomes habitual; learner has achieved certain confidence and proficiency or performance.

The Psychomotor Domain Complex Overt Response Adaptation Performance of motor act considered complex because of movement pattern required. Altering motor activities to meet demands of problematic situations.

The Psychomotor Domain Origination Creating new motor acts or ways of manipulating materials out of skills, abilities and understandings developed in the psychomotor area.

Levels of Psychomotor • Dave's (1975): • Imitation — Observing and patterning behavior after someone else. Performance may be of low quality. Example: Copying a work of art. • Manipulation — Being able to perform certain actions by following instructions and practicing. Example: Creating work on one's own, after taking lessons, or reading about it. • Precision — Refining, becoming more exact. Few errors are apparent. Example: Working and reworking something, so it will be “just right. ” • Articulation — Coordinating a series of actions, achieving harmony and internal consistency. Example: Respond effectively to unexpected experiences. Revise treatment plant to adapt to changes in patient’s condition. • Naturalization — Having high level performance become natural, without needing to think much about it. Examples: Construct a new theory. Create a new treatment approach.
