Bloom’s Taxonomy (1956) 3 types of learning • A committee of colleges, led by Benjamin Bloom (1956), identified three domains of educational activities: • Cognitive: mental skills (Knowledge) • Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (Attitude) • Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (Skills)
Go Back Into Groups To: • Reference the same content • Deliberate on how the lesson could be re-taught by moving up on Bloom’s Taxonomy • Will your students argue, create, or ??? • Use laptops & notes • Present (one who has not yet done so) on how you would change your lesson
