In this paper, the author focuses on C of the ABC's of being smart. She continues to categorize the points for readers. These categories include the following: (1) being; (2) doing; and (3) stretching.

Nine food science and technology (FST) subjects were assessed for alignment between the learning outcomes and assessment using revised Bloom's taxonomy (RBT) of cognitive knowledge. Conjoint analysis was used to estimate the utilities of the levels of cognitive, knowledge, and the attribute importance (cognitive process and knowledge dimension)…

Introductory biology courses are widely criticized for overemphasizing details and rote memorization of facts. Data to support such claims, however, are surprisingly scarce. We sought to determine whether this claim was evidence-based. To do so we quantified the cognitive level of learning targeted by faculty in introductory-level biology courses.…

In the right hands, learning objectives are great tools for clarifying thinking, breaking down learning into component parts, creating a logical order to learning, and demonstrating that a learning intervention is successful. Mostly, however, they have become cliches. With the industry's tendency to use them as pro forma media bites, they tend to…

The taxonomy adopted for use with projects operating under the auspices of the Florida Educational Research and Development Program embodies five primary categories: motor skills, verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, and attitudes. Performance objectives are classified in terms of the learning process required for the…

The authors explore the acceptance of Bloom's Taxonomies -- both affective and cognitive.... They relate the two and suggest learning paths" incorporating classifications from both Taxonomies. (Editor)

The purpose of the present study was to explore the conceptual scheme of the taxonomy within a conventional achievement oriented public school classroom by means of techniques that permitted a distinction between item difficulty and item complexity. (Author)

Student perceptions were obtained on the emphasis given to cognitive objectives derived from the six levels of the Bloom taxonomy. Findings may suggest empirical ways of identifying the structure of curriculum and instruction. (Author/RC)

Classification is the taxonomic science in which a system of categories is established and in which the categories have some logical structure. Scientific classifications have included those by Aristotle, Linnaeus, and Lavoisier. Educational taxonomies include those developed by Bloom, Herbart, Dewey, and Piaget. The problems of taxonomy…

Discusses the limitations of existing instructional design models, including Gagne's, and describes a new, more complete model meant to improve upon those now in use. Twenty-four references are appended. (LLS)

This represents the latest in a series of efforts, on-going since 1965, to up-date and revise a listing of continuously received literature which pertains to the Taxonomy. (TL)

This manual, specifically designed to accompany formal instruction in the writing of behavioral objectives, is also intended for use by individuals desiring knowledge of behavioral objectives and behavioral domain concepts. The introductory chapter on rationale for use of behavioral objectives outlines an instructional cycle designed to aid…

Describes a methodology for linking instructional objectives to computer assisted instruction software and for evaluating the software in regard to such objectives. The proposed taxonomy codifies instructional objectives into machine readable format and includes the elements of subject, function, skill hierarchies, capability level, and…
