Mr. Bloom’s Work and Beliefs: Learning objectives & skills can be classified into a taxonomy of learning Educational settings & home environments can foster human potential (Head Start, etc) Transformed education. Created a more holistic learning approach to education using domains Image retrieved from http://theadventurouswriter.com/blogbaby/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/5-Brain-Games-to-Improve-Memory-Thinking-Skills-and-Cognitive-Health.jpg

Greatest Accomplishment Developed a common framework for classifying the wide variety of intended learning outcomes that examiners/teachers encountered called: Bloom’s Taxonomy Image retrieved from http://blogs.wsd1.org/etr/files/blooms_taxonomy.jpg

Bloom’s Educational Objectives can be divided into 3 Domains Cognitive Affective Psychomotor Image retrieved from ucdmc.ucdavis.edu Affective-feelings or emotion,,psychomotor- manual or physcial skills Image retrieved from http://sciencemuseum.org.uk Image retrieved from ww.cusd.chico.k12.ca.us/.../PSYCHOMOTOR.jpg I

One level must be mastered before the next takes place Cognitive Domain describes: mental skills or knowledge gained (formulas, facts, recall, information) One level must be mastered before the next takes place Image retrieved from http://aclaro.blogs.com/.a/6a00d8345161c269e2010535b2be56970b-800wi

Affective Domain describes: growth in feelings & emotions (appreciation /motivation /attitudes) Image retrieved from learnwiki.org

Affective Versus Cognitive: Emotional Reactions Intellectual Skills Image retrieved from ww.bloggang.com/.../picture/1209371390.jpg

Psychomotor Domain describes: physical manipulations of tools (use of hands, coordination, motor skills) Development of these skills require practice and are measured in terms of speed, precision, procedures, etc Image retrieved from http://www.sandhills.edu/faculty-staff/syllabus/taxonomypsy.jpg

Bloom’s Taxonomy was revised in 2001 Nouns became Verbs Image retrieved from: www.uwsp.edu/education/lwilson/curric/img8.jpg

How is Bloom’s Work Used today? Educators use it to develop comprehensive, effective lessons that encourage higher level & critical thinking of learners. Learning objectives become more defined Gives educators an excellent measurement tool to use when assessing knowledge Image retrieved from http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/ias/earlycareer/events/introdtoteaching/balloon_options.jpg
