Blooms Taxonomy

"You can not understand a concept if you do not first remember it, similarly you can not apply the knowledge and concepts if you do not understand them" (Educational origami, 201).


Blooms Taxonomy consists of three domains: The Cognitive, the Affective and the Psychomotor.

Drawing 2. Bloom's Revised Taxonomy (CISCO, 2008)

ICT's help with this process of thought. As the myth states; that we remember:

10% of what we read
20% of what we hear
30% of what we see
50% of what we see and hear
70% of what we say
90% what we say and do

Using ICT's work hand in hand with providing people/students with the tools they need to learn effectively. Now days with the Interactive white board, IPads, internet connections and the range of accessories and programs that are available for computers and laptops students are given the opportunity to find information that is presented; Visually, Verbally and Interactive. These three main learning strategies caters for the majority of all learning needs and often can be incorporated together to gain a better understanding and often a different view. When students are given the information in a way that they can understand best they are more likely going to remember what was taught. Therefore as stated before if you remember the information you are more likely to understand the information. When they understand the information then they can apply the knowledge to everyday life as well as other techniques and subjects.

I agree with Blooms Taxonomy to an extent. I can apply knowledge personally but often cannot remember the information to relay it. The only way I can then pass it on is to study it again or to just show the technique with out the monologue to accompany it.
Personally I can apply information (not to a full extent) without being able to recall the information that accompanies it. Often individuals make evaluations on things without having the knowledge or comprehension to follow the evaluations through.
