Bloom's Taxonomy


Advandages of using Bloom's Taxonomy.

Students master content at an appropriate level before the are introduced to higher level thinking. Students develop decision making skills and actions for carrying out their decisions. Students can communicate with others about their decisions. Students have the ability to correct their work and the work of others. Students have the ability to revise their decisions. Students have the ability to evaulate their work and the work of others.

A teacher should explain to their students the levels of thinking. Teachers should have students examine the choices available to them and help them to understand what makes one level of the taxonomy more difficult than another.

Teachers should give students appropriate time to master the current level of think before higher level thinking takes place. Furthermore, teachers should move collectivly as a class, as much as possible, so students can work together on the same level of thinking.
