	ab_leverduffy_teachtech_1\|Student Site\|Designing and Planning Technology\|On the Web!\|2.4 Spotlight on Benjamin Bloom
		Benjamin Bloom was born in Lansford, Pennsylvania, on February 21, 1913.
		Bloom also served at the University of Chicago as a university examiner from 1943 to 1959 and professor of education from 1943 to 1970.
		In 1968, Bloom developed a practical application of the taxonomy, which he called "Benjamin Bloom's Learning for Mastery," subsequently referred to as mastery learning, based on the concept that all children can learn given individualized rewards as they progress through a sequentially structured program of performance objectives derived, of course, from the Bloom taxonomy.

	Psychology Today: Master of mastery; this 73-year-old scholar in a business suit would gladly ruin American education - ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Bloom thinks, for example, that there is too much drill, too much rote Learning, too little active participation by students, too much emphasis on lower-level "basic" skills, too much attention to "minimum" standards, too much competition and, most of all, too much failure in today's schools.
		Bloom admits that there are innate differences in learning ability, but he believes that these differences are much smaller than most of us imagine and do not account for the wide differences in student achievement.
		But Bloom doesn't believe that tutoring is a practical approach to instruction: "We simply can't afford a student-to-teacher ratio of 1 to 1 or even 3 to l." Over the past 25 years, Bloom and his colleagues have worked to develop a system of group instruction that would approximate the effects of tutoring.

	Curriculum Integration Resources
		Although Bloom's Taxonomy was first designed in 1956 as a guide for writing instructional objectives it is still a very valuable model for considering thinking skills and is a useful guide for checking whether students' thinking is being extended to a higher level.
		Bloom identified six levels within the cognitive domain, from the simple recall or recognition of facts, as the lowest level, through increasingly more complex and abstract mental levels, to the highest order which is classified as evaluation...
		Benjamin Bloom created this taxonomy for categorizing level of abstraction of questions that commonly occur in educational settings.

		Bloom’s Taxonomy has since been adapted for classroom use as a planning tool and continues to be one of the most universally applied models across all levels of schooling and in all areas of study.
		During the 1990’s, Lorin Anderson (a former student of Benjamin Bloom) led a team of cognitive psychologists in revisiting the taxonomy with the view to examining the relevance of the taxonomy as we enter the twenty-first century.
		Bloom’s Taxonomy was traditionally viewed as a tool best applied in the earlier years of schooling (i.e.

	TIP: Taxonomies
		Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists who developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior important in learning.
		The Affective domain (e.g., Krathwhol, Bloom and Masia, 1964) consisted of behaviors corresponding to: attitudes of awareness, interest, attention, concern, and responsibility, ability to listen and respond in interactions with others, and ability to demonstrate those attitudinal characteristics or values which are appropriate to the test situation and the field of study.
		The significance of the work of Bloom and others on taxonomies was that it was the first attempt to classify learning behaviors and provide concrete measures for identifying different levels of learning.

	Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
		Bloom's taxonomy represents a tool for planning and implementing the student-centered classroom, because it gives teachers a precise language for articulating the intended outcomes of their instruction expressed in terms of student learning.
		The six levels of Bloom's taxonomy reflect not only the importance of acquiring information (i.e., Level 1: Knowledge) but also the intellectual processes of application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation by which we transform raw data into formalized knowledge structures.
		Although developed in the heyday of behaviorism, Bloom's taxonomy has proven itself a flexible and enduring structure to help define the parameters of the constructivist classroom, lend rigor to the teaching of critical thinking skills, and guide purposeful learning in contemporary postsecondary teaching environments.

		Bloom’s Taxonomy provides an excellent, useful backdrop against which we will discuss course planning and student assessment via use of a strategy with which you may not be familiar: concept mapping.
		BLOOM’S TAXONOMY AND THE LEARNING-CENTERED PARADIGM Learning-centered education is both learner-centered (the success of the teaching is based on what students have learned, not simply on the delivery of information by the teacher) and objectives-based (the success of the teaching is based on students’ ability to demonstrate what they have learned).
		Bloom’s reference to “overt behaviors” demonstrated by students as an indication of learning is key to the Taxonomy because the reason for the development of the Taxonomy in the first place was to devise a tool to assist in figuring out the connection between learning and examinations (Bloom, 1994, p.

	Theorist Paper
		Bloom recommended the use of formative assessment as a diagnostic tool to provide information that can be used to extend learning and provide enrichment where needed (Anderson, 1994).
		Bloom developed a hierarchy that helped educators understand the degree of difficulty of various cognitive tasks, however, he did not necessarily recommend that material be sequenced according to his hierarchy.
		Both Bruner and Bloom would agree that experiences of this nature are more likely to result in transfer of learning and the learning that “goes beyond” information given.
