 Module 16

The Revised Bloom’s

Taxonomy of Educational Objectives

 Take the Challenge!

In this module challenge yourself to attain the following learning outcomes:

 Formulate learning outcomes reflecting the dufferent levels of the

taxonomy
 Explore the use of technology apps in applying the evised taxonomy

Introduction

Imagine that you are already working as ateacher .how would

you feel if you enter without a specificleasrning outcomes?How would you
proceed without clear and specific target?
This Module will present the original and the Revised Bloom’s
Taxonomy of Educational Objectives.Although the revised taxonomy came
out years ago, it is important to still present both the old and and revised
to have a complete understanding and better appreciation of the
taxonomy’s use in education

3. Up to What cognitive level where you able to formulate learning outcomes?

4. Which knowledge dimensions where you able to include?

5. Try adding five more appropriate learning outcomes to target the spaces which were
level blank?

Synapse Strengtheners

1. In Kathy SchrocK blog came up with organizers which showed Ipad and A NDROID
Apps that are useful in addressing the different levels of Bloom’s Revised
Taxonomy .Explore the different apps and the use of the matrix on the next page to
share what you discovered.
