Bloom's Taxonomy

  As a teacher, this level of thought is the hardest one to get all students to reach, but it’s not impossible. Compile, construct, develop, invent, solve, discuss, explain, deduct, rate, evaluate, modify, improve, and elaborate are all great directions starters for helping your students reach the Synthesis and Evaluation levels. These are the levels where students show total mastery. They can critique and make judgment calls or teach the content entirely.

Day 4, Bloom's Taxonomy The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper. Proverbs 19:8 (NIV)               I had two quiet girls in my fourth-grade classroom. They sat by each other, shared books between one another, kept journals, and loved to write stories. These girls also had an intellectual sense of humor; they made word plays and jokes under their breath with each other. I grew to enjoy their humor and banter, but especially the

Day 3, Bloom's Taxonomy Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. Acts 17:11 (ESV)               My third-grade math students drove me bonkers at the beginning of the year. They were whiney, clingy, and had not been taught to think independently. I had gotten spoiled with my fourth and fifth grade math groups.               I decided to try something diff

Comprehension is the second level of Bloom’s Taxonomy. At this level of content mastery, students are able to organize, translate, compare, interpret, and state main ideas of concepts. In math, this would be performing basic word problems; in science, comparing two different elements; and in reading, expressing the main idea in a passage.

Day 1, Bloom's Taxonomy Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity. Hebrews 6:1a (ESV)                 Mr. N. was my sixth-grade math teacher. He came into class every morning and sat in his rolling chair behind his desk. After arranging his gradebook and finding the page to assign in his teacher’s edition, he rolled his chair to the side of his desk and leaned his body forward over the trashcan. Then he pulled a comb o

This week we will take a deep dive into these six levels of content mastery, but for today, I want to finish our lesson with taking a look at how Bloom’s Taxonomy connects to our walk with Christ. I’ve often wondered how a person can come to church every Sunday for twenty years but never grow in their walk with Christ. In my opinion, they are stuck at the bottom level of Bloom’s taxonomy.
