A History And Stance For Benjamin Bloom 's Theory

Write one developmentally appropriate learning objective for the goal related to each level of Bloom’s Taxonomy.

All early childhood theories have changed so much though the years based on a diverse multicultural world and new laws to protect students, have been put into place to aid these children. Research that was taken back in the 1900 containing educational theories were all in competition with each other in their field. Students at that time, were meant to act with self-discipline and own motivation. Those theories were researched for that time period. Society is always changing as a whole. It is reflecting on the expectations and demands on students today.

While I am reading this book aloud, I will ask critical thinking questions, using the upper and lower end of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Some of the questions that I will ask are the following:

Tim Burton presents Big Fish whereby, protagonist; Edward Bloom reveals exaggerated primitive memories of his past. Edward’s past includes a series of events that are considered an ironic romance, as his life demonstrates how one’s perspective can impact the portrayal of a story, in this case being one’s past and how it is seen to be lived. Edward tells his tales multiple times, that he believed himself, is the true version of events, consequently frustrating his son William Bloom as, when William was young his father was scarcely around as work occupied majority of his time. Nonetheless, the tales presented by Edward give the audience an insight to what Edward went through from childhood through into adulthood.

Edward Bloom is a true hero, he has a unique personality; different from everyone else, always the strongest, bravest and has the greatest work effort; he was not the ordinary. He is also very adventurous “takes the dangerous shortcut that can get him killed to go to a town” (Big Fish) and has a partner with him all the time: the giant, wife and his rival throughout his life, Don Price. He sees a girl for the first time and states that he is going to marry her: love at first sight, he has no idea who she is or where she lives but gets small bits of information from his boss by working for him for free; instead of getting paid in cash, he gets paid by getting information about this girl he fell in love with. Eventually Edward’s work pays off

Benjamin Solomon “Ben” Carson was born on September 18, 1951, in Detroit Michigan. He is a Yale graduate and a retired neurosurgeon. He has a wife who he had been married to since 1975 and three lovely children. Even though Ben is currently a republican, he has changed his political affiliation four times. Before 1981, he was a democrat, from 1981-1999 he was a republican, from 1999-2014 he was independent, and now since 2014, he is a republican. Ben is a very successful man. He has written many books about his medical and political issues, he even has a movie based on an autobiography he wrote called “Gifted Hands”

F’s students. In this paper, I will discuss the instruction Mrs. F uses, the aspects of Bloom’s Taxonomy that are exhibited, some of the best practices used according to Santrock (2008), different types of technology used, and how this classroom has introduced the primary elements as my future role as a school psychologist.

The third theme is intuitive thinking, a neglected but important feature of productive thinking. Careful examinations of the nature of intuitive thinking is a great aid to those in teaching and effective thinking is supported by the development of self-confidence and courage. The fourth theme is motivation for learning; an interest in the learning material is the best stimulus for learning and must be kept broad and different in expression. It is important for students to feel motivated whilst learning, the motives for learning must be based upon as much as possible on interests. Bruner's work had a profound effect on education, researchers and the students he has worked with. Bruner (1964) clearly states that his theory is “the development of human intellectual functioning”.

All domains of development and learning — physical, social and emotional, and cognitive are important and closely related.

An activity that I feel illustrates the interrelatedness of the three domains of development is when the children were asked to follow the leader and had all the children; walk, jump, gallop, and tip toe. The child used the physical domain of development by doing the activities of walking, jumping, galloping, and tip toeing. The child used the cognitive and language developmental domain by listening and understanding the teachers and doing the activity accordingly. The last domain of social and emotional developmental domain was met when the children had a chance to laugh when seeing others doing the same activities. It intertwines with all three domains by the way that a child could physically do the activities, create a language by understanding

Bloom’s taxonomy can be used in the field of psychology to solve problems. Psychology focuses on the study of the mind and human behavior, using the taxonomy will serve as a tool for understanding cognition and thinking process. As a practitioner a common goal is to help others solve problems. The taxonomy will help me as a practitioner to analyze the problem with a client or student. The use of the taxonomy will help to promote new ideas and approaches through evaluation before making final decisions when helping clients. The taxonomy can help identify the needs of the client, ways to help the client, and what methods have and has not worked for the client as a practitioner in psychology. As a graduate learner in psychology, the taxonomy

Bloom’s Taxonomy was created by Benjamin Bloom in 1956. Bloom identified that there were three categories of learning. Cognitive: Mental skills (knowledge) Affective: Growth in feelings or emotional areas (attitude) Psychomotor: Manual or physical skills (skills).

After completing the Stem portion of your learning outcome, the Action Word component utilizes Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. According to Bloom’s Taxonomy, learning takes place across three domains. The first of these is the cognitive domain of learning, and it relates to intellectual and content knowledge. The second domain of learning is psychomotor, which refers to physical movements and their co-ordination with sensation and perception. Third, learning also takes place in the affective domain, which encompasses our attitudes and values.

“What any person in the world can learn almost all persons can learn if provided with appropriate prior and current conditions of learning” (Bloom, 2017). This belief was held by Dr. Bloom in 1956 when he and his team created Bloom’s Taxonomy. Since then educators have been utilizing these “goals of the learning process” (Clark, 2015) and making assumptions of its usage and implications. I too did have assumptions but have not thought about how I developed them or how they would affect my use of the taxonomy. When starting this reflection I held three assumptions true about Bloom’s Taxonomy. The first is if the educator uses Bloom’s Taxonomy for planning through assessment, then the student will develop higher order thinking skills. Secondly, a student can move on to a higher order thinking level only if they first mastered a lower order thinking level. Thirdly, if educations use different levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy in lessons students will retain more information. Interestingly, I uncovered two additional assumptions that I did not know I had. The first of which is that the focus on cognitive development of Bloom’s devalues importance of other domains. The other is that Bloom’s Taxonomy is used only by educators in K-12 and college. Here are some things I understand about this subject that informed or changed

My philosophy of education patterns the philosophy of Martin Buber. Buber believed that children learn as he or she encounters the world or the time at which they are ready to face true reality. I believe that all children are capable of learning; however, every child possesses a different level of learning potential. During my time as a math coach, I have learned that children learn best from what they see, hear, or feel. The role of a teacher in today’s classroom requires the teacher to be a facilitator and let students create and control the atmosphere of the learning community. I believe that students learn best when manipulatives are used. Manipulative help students connect visually with what they are learning. It can also provide a kinesthetic attribute to learning. Schools should encourage a more student-led learning community. Parents should also become more proactive in their child’s education. Students are more susceptible to succeeding if their support system is effective. The type of behavior that is required in a school setting should be reciprocated in the home setting. Most of the discontent in classrooms stem from inconsistencies in the home. Students are expected to act one way in school, but required to act in another way at home. This complicates the jobs of school officials. I feel parents should prepare their children by setting practical expectations when the children are in school.
