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 :
  1. KNOWLEDGE
  2. COMPREHENSION
  3. APPLICATION
  4. ANALYSIS 
  5. SYNTHESIS
