Writing Critically: Bloom's Taxonomy

I am grateful to the staff at Kennesaw State University Writing Center who gave permission to use the table on this page.

In general, the author intentionally should not say "My main job here is to do XYZ" If the author can not meet the expectations of professors, directors or other readers, this situation will cause trouble It may cause.

Fortunately, we have a powerful tool to help us think about what we should do in a particular writing situation. "Bloom's taxonomy" shows the development of writing and intellectual engagement that have become teachers since the 1950s, but still it is easy to distinguish the intellectual difficulty increase of a specific sentence making task Provide a way.

To evaluate the work of yourself or others, please use the following option. In the case of a student, please identify the category best describing the task described in the assignment. Then ask yourself if you wrote that it belongs to it. For consultants, looking for the same thing, helps writers deepen their analysis, comprehension and evaluation. These are the most demanding categories in college writing, but usually it is very common.

List relying on long quotes, interpretation of the problem, no distinction of the relative importance of thinking

It is still difficult to understand the relative importance of ideas and information sources that use more of their own words; information that is interesting but not useful directly is thrown

Idea / evidence is linked to the subject clearly, yet relies on analysis of others, magazine information. It is considered the same as the original research

How does that information apply to topics, please give examples, how do ideas / statements / evidence support paper?

In addition to relying on the conclusion of other authors, we identify other themes and ideas of other authors, but we do not link each other

Do these sources (or paragraphs) have similarities? Can I summarize information using ideas rather than articles?

Text is organized by topics and ideas rather than information sources, but there is still the problem of adjusting conflict information.

What are the other important things about this topic, what else do you want to know, convincing evidence of the source?

Which is the most convincing information, how to decide / support / choose the parties to the discussion, not the counterparty; who said it? Can you say something new using this information?

Do not fall into the problem of misunderstood Bloom taxonomy; Bloom did not intend to use taxonomy as a linear / sequential guide to our teaching method (it was designed for evaluation ). These six elements are worthwhile if we consider how to learn and investigate the global and interrelated aspects of the world. Remember, understanding and analysis contribute to evaluation and comprehension. As I mentioned above, "Eleven" is usually a powerful classroom discussion text - effective writing and crafts; thinking about teaching, learning, thinking about teachers and students; understanding family and associate dynamics To face; or to face cultural tension

In 1956, an educational psychologist named Benjamin Bloom came up with Bloom's taxonomy. Bloom's taxonomy is a higher level of thinking in six categories. These categories include memory, understanding, application, analysis, evaluation, and creation. Common Core supports Bloom's taxonomy in various ways. First let's look at additional questions: 58 + 26 = 84. Anyone can solve the sum of this additional problem. In traditional teaching methods, the teacher instructs the students to bring these two figures from one place to several tens of places and add these two numbers together. The algorithm works, but does it really promote a high standard of thinking? What does cell phone mean? Do you know why you have additional problems with work? If you do not remember why, it means that you are at the bottom of the Bloom taxonomy.

In 2001, another scholar team led by Bloom's former student Lorin Anderson and Bloom's colleague David ClassWall, who developed an academic team of the original taxonomy, revised the taxonomy for learning, education and evaluation We released the version. Review of ram education purpose classification The so-called "revised bloom classification" is more useful for educators and is intentionally designed to reflect the usual way used in schools.
