BLOOM'S TAXONOMY

In 1956, Benjamin Bloom
headed a group of
educational psychologists
who developed a
classification of levels of
intellectual behavior
important in learning.
Bloom found that over 95
% of the test questions
students encounter require
them to think only at the
lowest possible level…the
recall of information.

Bloom identified six
levels within the cognitive
domain, from the simple
recall or recognition of
facts, as the lowest level,
through increasingly more
complex and abstract
mental levels, to the
highest order which is
classified as evaluation.
Verb examples that
represent intellectual
activity on each level are
listed here.

1. Knowledge: arrange, define, duplicate, label, list, memorize, name, order, recognize, relate, recall,
repeat, reproduce state.

2. Comprehension: classify, describe, discuss, explain, express, identify, indicate, locate, recognize,
report, restate, review, select, translate,

3. Application: apply, choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, operate, practice,
schedule, sketch, solve, use, write.

4. Analysis: analyze, appraise, calculate, categorize, compare, contrast, criticize, differentiate,
discriminate, distinguish, examine, experiment, question, test.

5. Synthesis: arrange, assemble, collect, compose, construct, create, design, develop, formulate,
manage, organize, plan, prepare, propose, set up, write.

6. Evaluation: appraise, argue, assess, attach, choose compare, defend estimate, judge, predict, rate,
core, select, support, value, evaluate.

BLOOM'S TAXONOMY: Sample Questions
As teachers we tend to ask questions in the "knowledge" catagory 80% to 90% of the time. These

questions are not bad, but using them all the time is. Try to utilize higher order level of questions. These
questions require much more "brain power" and a more extensive and elaborate answer. Below are the six

question categories as defined by Bloom.

• KNOWLEDGE
o remembering;
o memorizing;
o recognizing;
o recalling identification and
o recall of information

 Who, what, when, where, how …?
 Describe

• COMPREHENSION
o interpreting;
o translating from one medium to another;
o describing in one's own words;
o organization and selection of facts and ideas

 Retell…
• APPLICATION

o problem solving;
o applying information to produce some result;
o use of facts, rules and principles

 How is…an example of…?
 How is…related to…?
 Why is…significant?

• ANALYSIS
o subdividing something to show how it is put together;
o finding the underlying structure of a communication;
o identifying motives;
o separation of a whole into component parts

 What are the parts or features of…?
 Classify…according to…
 Outline/diagram…
 How does…compare/contrast with…?
 What evidence can you list for…?

• SYNTHESIS
o creating a unique, original product that may be in verbal form or a physical object;
o combination of ideas to form a new whole

 What would you predict/infer from…?
 What ideas can you add to…?
 How would you create/design a new…?
 What might happen if you combined…?
 What solutions would you suggest for…?

• EVALUATION
o making value decisions about issues;
o resolving controversies or differences of opinion;
o development of opinions, judgements or decisions

 Do you agree…?
 What do you think about…?
 What is the most important…?
 Place the following in order of priority…
 How would you decide about…?
 What criteria would you use to assess…?

**Higher Order Thinking Skills Assignment Instructions**

· Present the assignment in a formal APA paper (APA 7).

· Historically, page lengths have varied from a few pages to 10-15 pages.

· There is no suggestion of a minimum or maximum page length; length will vary based on your topic.

· Please ensure that you fully complete the parameters mentioned below.

**Overview**

The week three content includes
**_higher order thinking skills_** (HOTS) along with
**_active learning/teaching strategies._** *

Incorporating higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) is an essential component in “teaching to think” and critical for adult learning and especially graduate level learning. This exercise will give you practice in incorporating HOTS into active learning/teaching strategies for your own proposed teaching demonstration.

**Instructions**

In your own mind, review the highest levels of thought per Bloom and Anderson and Krathwohl’s revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy—
_application, analysis, evaluation, creation_.

Choose ONE of the critical thought levels and design a teaching activity for that thought level that would fit your own teaching topic and teaching demonstration that you will submit in the
**Class Project: Teaching Demonstration Assignment**. Please note that your
**Class Project: Teaching Demonstration Assignment** will require more than one active learning/teaching strategy, but you will get practice in developing one of those for this assignment.

Use the class handout which lists sample questions and below you will find a few suggested learning activities for two levels of higher thought. An internet search will also suggest numerous other activities for the various thought levels. Please also review the explanations of several active learning strategies to which you have been introduced in all three of our class texts (below).

So, for example, if your topic is exploring the counseling approaches used for combat veterans with PTSD, you might set up a debate to argue the strengths and weaknesses of two therapeutic approaches. Or you might introduce a case to use for a new therapeutic application and have students argue the value or disadvantages of the new therapy approach.

In this assignment, provide adequate detail about how you would develop the learning activity. Provide the actual cases, for instance, if those are used, and suggest the penetrating questions that would guide the discussion. Justify your choice of activity. Why was your active learning strategy a great way to evaluate, analyze, apply, etc. with regard to your teaching topic? Draw broadly from the class sources to support your conclusions and cite per APA.

Present the assignment in a formal APA paper (APA 7). Historically, page lengths have varied from a few pages to 10-15 pages. While we don’t suggest a minimum/maximum page length, your assignment length will vary based on your topic. Just make sure that you fully complete the assignment parameters mentioned above.

*
**Active learning/teaching strategies**

All three class texts mentioned active learning/teaching strategies, vs. traditional lecture, which can be very passive. Here are some of the active learning strategies to which you are introduced in class:

• Cases analysis/application

• Examination of viewpoints

• Devil’s advocate

• Scenario analysis

• Discussion technique and questions (Svinicki & McKeachie have excellent content on this as well as Brookfield; the class content on using discussion for active learning was rich in detail and suggestions)

• Think/pair/share

• Assumption inventory and analysis

• Point/counter-point

• Critical conversations protocol

• Critical incidents exploration

• Simulations/games, etc.

• Questions formulation techniques

• Peer questioning

• Project based learning

• Peer teaching –several strategies mentioned in the class sources

• Team based learning—several strategies in Svinicki & McKeachie

• Cold calling

• Speaking in tongues

Etc.

**
**Proposed teaching activities for the higher thought levels:** (several of the active learning/teaching strategies mentioned above could be developed for these possible ideas)

**Analysis:**

· Distinguish the strengths and weakness of a proposed therapy for X diagnosis.

· Design a questionnaire to gather information for research on an application of a counseling theory

· Produce support for two sides of a controversial topic in Christian counseling

· Produce a flow chart to show critical stages of the effects of AES

· Make a family tree to show relationships between pathologies within an extended family

**Evaluation:**

· Develop a list of criteria to judge the value of a new therapy for an unusual application

· Conduct a debate about clinician choices regarding sensitive social issues in a Christian counseling setting

· Prepare a case which illustrates the complexities of a controversial counseling topic

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

**## Blooms-Taxonomy.pdf**

BLOOM'S TAXONOMY

In 1956, Benjamin Bloom
headed a group of
educational psychologists
who developed a
classification of levels of
intellectual behavior
important in learning.
Bloom found that over 95
% of the test questions
students encounter require
them to think only at the
lowest possible level…the
recall of information.

Bloom identified six
levels within the cognitive
domain, from the simple
recall or recognition of
facts, as the lowest level,
through increasingly more
complex and abstract
mental levels, to the
highest order which is
classified as evaluation.
Verb examples that
represent intellectual
activity on each level are
listed here.

1. Knowledge: arrange, define, duplicate, label, list, memorize, name, order, recognize, relate, recall,
repeat, reproduce state.

2. Comprehension: classify, describe, discuss, explain, express, identify, indicate, locate, recognize,
report, restate, review, select, translate,

3. Application: apply, choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, operate, practice,
schedule, sketch, solve, use, write.

4. Analysis: analyze, appraise, calculate, categorize, compare, contrast, criticize, differentiate,
discriminate, distinguish, examine, experiment, question, test.

5. Synthesis: arrange, assemble, collect, compose, construct, create, design, develop, formulate,
manage, organize, plan, prepare, propose, set up, write.

6. Evaluation: appraise, argue, assess, attach, choose compare, defend estimate, judge, predict, rate,
core, select, support, value, evaluate.

BLOOM'S TAXONOMY: Sample Questions
As teachers we tend to ask questions in the "knowledge" catagory 80% to 90% of the time. These

questions are not bad, but using them all the time is. Try to utilize higher order level of questions. These
questions require much more "brain power" and a more extensive and elaborate answer. Below are the six

question categories as defined by Bloom.

• KNOWLEDGE
o remembering;
o memorizing;
o recognizing;
o recalling identification and
o recall of information

 Who, what, when, where, how …?
 Describe

• COMPREHENSION
o interpreting;
o translating from one medium to another;
o describing in one's own words;
o organization and selection of facts and ideas

 Retell…
• APPLICATION

o problem solving;
o applying information to produce some result;
o use of facts, rules and principles

 How is…an example of…?
 How is…related to…?
 Why is…significant?

• ANALYSIS
o subdividing something to show how it is put together;
o finding the underlying structure of a communication;
o identifying motives;
o separation of a whole into component parts

 What are the parts or features of…?
 Classify…according to…
 Outline/diagram…
 How does…compare/contrast with…?
 What evidence can you list for…?

• SYNTHESIS
o creating a unique, original product that may be in verbal form or a physical object;
o combination of ideas to form a new whole

 What would you predict/infer from…?
 What ideas can you add to…?
 How would you create/design a new…?
 What might happen if you combined…?
 What solutions would you suggest for…?

• EVALUATION
o making value decisions about issues;
o resolving controversies or differences of opinion;
o development of opinions, judgements or decisions

 Do you agree…?
 What do you think about…?
 What is the most important…?
 Place the following in order of priority…
 How would you decide about…?
 What criteria would you use to assess…?

EDCO 725

**Higher Order Thinking Skills Assignment Instructions**

· Present the assignment in a formal APA paper (APA 7).

· Historically, page lengths have varied from a few pages to 10-15 pages.

· There is no suggestion of a minimum or maximum page length; length will vary based on your topic.

· Please ensure that you fully complete the parameters mentioned below.

**Overview**

The week three content includes
**_higher order thinking skills_** (HOTS) along with
**_active learning/teaching strategies._** *

Incorporating higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) is an essential component in “teaching to think” and critical for adult learning and especially graduate level learning. This exercise will give you practice in incorporating HOTS into active learning/teaching strategies for your own proposed teaching demonstration.

**Instructions**

In your own mind, review the highest levels of thought per Bloom and Anderson and Krathwohl’s revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy—
_application, analysis, evaluation, creation_.

Choose ONE of the critical thought levels and design a teaching activity for that thought level that would fit your own teaching topic and teaching demonstration that you will submit in the
**Class Project: Teaching Demonstration Assignment**. Please note that your
**Class Project: Teaching Demonstration Assignment** will require more than one active learning/teaching strategy, but you will get practice in developing one of those for this assignment.

Use the class handout which lists sample questions and below you will find a few suggested learning activities for two levels of higher thought. An internet search will also suggest numerous other activities for the various thought levels. Please also review the explanations of several active learning strategies to which you have been introduced in all three of our class texts (below).

So, for example, if your topic is exploring the counseling approaches used for combat veterans with PTSD, you might set up a debate to argue the strengths and weaknesses of two therapeutic approaches. Or you might introduce a case to use for a new therapeutic application and have students argue the value or disadvantages of the new therapy approach.

In this assignment, provide adequate detail about how you would develop the learning activity. Provide the actual cases, for instance, if those are used, and suggest the penetrating questions that would guide the discussion. Justify your choice of activity. Why was your active learning strategy a great way to evaluate, analyze, apply, etc. with regard to your teaching topic? Draw broadly from the class sources to support your conclusions and cite per APA.

Present the assignment in a formal APA paper (APA 7). Historically, page lengths have varied from a few pages to 10-15 pages. While we don’t suggest a minimum/maximum page length, your assignment length will vary based on your topic. Just make sure that you fully complete the assignment parameters mentioned above.

*
**Active learning/teaching strategies**

All three class texts mentioned active learning/teaching strategies, vs. traditional lecture, which can be very passive. Here are some of the active learning strategies to which you are introduced in class:

• Cases analysis/application

• Examination of viewpoints

• Devil’s advocate

• Scenario analysis

• Discussion technique and questions (Svinicki & McKeachie have excellent content on this as well as Brookfield; the class content on using discussion for active learning was rich in detail and suggestions)

• Think/pair/share

• Assumption inventory and analysis

• Point/counter-point

• Critical conversations protocol

• Critical incidents exploration

• Simulations/games, etc.

• Questions formulation techniques

• Peer questioning

• Project based learning

• Peer teaching –several strategies mentioned in the class sources

• Team based learning—several strategies in Svinicki & McKeachie

• Cold calling

• Speaking in tongues

Etc.

**
**Proposed teaching activities for the higher thought levels:** (several of the active learning/teaching strategies mentioned above could be developed for these possible ideas)

**Analysis:**

· Distinguish the strengths and weakness of a proposed therapy for X diagnosis.

· Design a questionnaire to gather information for research on an application of a counseling theory

· Produce support for two sides of a controversial topic in Christian counseling

· Produce a flow chart to show critical stages of the effects of AES

· Make a family tree to show relationships between pathologies within an extended family

**Evaluation:**

· Develop a list of criteria to judge the value of a new therapy for an unusual application

· Conduct a debate about clinician choices regarding sensitive social issues in a Christian counseling setting

· Prepare a case which illustrates the complexities of a controversial counseling topic
