Writing Objectives Using Bloom's Taxonomy
Various researchers have summarized how to use Bloom’s Taxonomy. Following are four interpretations that you can use as guides in helping to write objectives using Bloom’s Taxonomy. From: KC Metro [old link, no longer functioning?] Bloom’s Taxonomy divides the way people learn into three domains.
Bloom's Taxonomy
The Bloom's Wheel, according to the Bloom's verbs and matching assessment types. The verbs are intended to be feasible and measurable. Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education proposed in 1956 by a committee of educators chaired by Benjamin Bloom who also edited the first volume of the standard text, Taxonomy of educational objectives: the classification of educational goals [ 1 ] (1956). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Although named after Bloom, the publication followed a series of conferences from 1949 to 1953, which were designed to improve communication between educators on the design of curricula and examinations. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] At this meeting, interest was expressed in a theoretical framework which could be used to facilitate communication among examiners. This group felt that such a framework could do much to promote the exchange of test materials and ideas about testing.Selecting Test Items
The table below presents both pros and cons for various test item types. Your selection of item types should be based on the types of outcomes you are trying to assess (see analysis of your learning situation ). Certain item types such as true/false, supplied response, and matching, work well for assessing lower-order outcomes (i.e., knowledge or comprehension goals), while other item types such as essays, performance assessments, and some multiple choice questions, are better for assessing higher-order outcomes (i.e., analysis, synthesis, or evaluation goals). The italicized bullets below will help you determine the types of outcomes the various items assess. With your objectives in hand, it may be useful to create a test blueprint that specifies your outcomes and the types of items you plan to use to assess those outcomes. Further, test items are often weighted by difficulty.
