4TH MODULE
1st SESSION
The session was all around the introduction of the 4th module by establishing the purpose of analyzing principles and practical implications of CBE .
Then I was able to refresh what BLOOM´S TAXONOMY is all about , but after going too deep the Teacher explained to us who the author of this taxonomy was. Benjamin Bloom , contributed by establishing this taxonomy in 1991 .
B.Bloom was a psychologist and educator who also contributed in the field of learning and cognitive development . He was also an advisor to governments like Israel and India.
Now , I want to define what is a taxonomy in my own words:
A taxonomy is considered a system which permits the organization of simple and complex words which are categorized in order to express approprietly what is expected as a goal in a learning process.
Here we have several definitions of a taxonomy :
- Are mental operations that can be classified on six different levels of increasing complexity.
- Student´s performance depends on the mastery of the previous levels.
- Is a hierarchically order of cognitive processes.
In other words , a taxonomy was designed to help teachers to classify educational goals and objectives.
There are also three different domains in Bloom´s taxonomy :
- COGNITIVE DOMAIN: mental processes.
- AFFECTIVE DOMAIN : attitudes , and to recognize emotions.
- PSYCHOMOTOR DOMAIN: motor or physical activities.
Bloom´s taxonomy is based on the theoretical basis of BEHAVIORISM AND COGNITIVISM
There are also three Bloom´s taxonomies of educational Objectives :
- KNOWLEGDE BASED GOALS
- SKILLS BASED GOALS.
- AFFECTIVE BASED GOALS.
KNOWLEDGE BASED GOALS :
