 * Bloom's Taxonomy **




 * Bloom's In Action:**

//Learning objectives using the story of Goldilocks through the Lens of Bloom's Taxonomy:// **Remember**: Describe where Goldilocks lived. **Understand**: Summarize what the Goldilocks story was about. **Apply**: Construct a theory as to why Goldilocks went into the house. **Analyze**: Differentiate between how Goldilocks reacted and how you would react in each story event. **Evaluate**: Assess whether or not you think this really happened to Goldilocks. **Create**: Compose a song, skit, poem, or rap to convey the Goldilocks story in a new form.

**Goal #1. Decrease the emphasis on course content and foundational knowledge.** **Goal #2. Increase the emphasis on active learning.** **Goal #3. Apply course content to real-life problems.**
 * Goal #4. Incorporate course lessons into life lessons. **

Fink’s (2003) taxonomy provides the structure for assessing both course content and higher-order thinking in six taxa (Fink, 2003): **1.** **Foundational Knowledge.** Foundational Knowledge includes all of the content, ideas, and information that you want your students to know at the end of the semester. **2.** **Application.** The Application taxon encompasses critical, creative, and practical thinking, as well as additional skill sets that may be beneficial to students. **3.** **Integration.** Integration includes connecting different ideas that might appear in different disciplines or across the lifespan. **4.** **Human Dimension.** The Human Dimension taxon helps assess if students learn more about themselves and others. It stresses the human factor and gives human significance to learning. **5.** **Caring.** Caring is the taxon that provides the motivation and energy for learning by developing new interests, feelings, and values associated with the course material. **6.** **Learning How to Learn.** The Learning How to Learn taxon provides the ability for long-term learning by teaching students to become self-directed learners.
