Bloom's Taxonomy of Education and It's Use in Nursing Education

Bloom’s taxonomy of learning 8 Bloom’s theory links

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:

It is incredible the change that can come with proper education on management for chronic illnesses. As an emergency nurse, we see patients who come to us when those steps have failed. It is frustrating to see patients deteriorate when a healthy, full life is possible if appropriate steps are taken earlier. Education has provided me this privilege to serve and educate my community as a nurse over the last two years. I am certain advancing my education will allow me the opportunity to assist in the continuing positive changes for the people of my

| In the nursing education the student should be helped to appreciate that not all patients are going to leave the hospital disease free, and that as nurses there is a need to learn that we need to help them in any way we can to achieve their maximum amount

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

In this book, Scout's maturity follows the concept of Bloom's Taxonomy, a multi-tiered model of conceptual thinking according to six levels of complexity (Forehand). Scout starts out using only the two bottom layers of this method, knowledge and observation, and comprehension, both which she has had since a very young age. Scout moves up a level in this system when she applies pre-known knowledge and analyzes situations. For instance, when Walter Cunningham would not take Miss Caroline's money, Scout realizes that Walter wouldn't take the money because he didn't want it, but instead, he wouldn't take it because he could never pay it back. Scout reaches the last two levels, synthesis and

The diagnosis, prognosis, interventions and medications that surround a nurses everyday practice can be very similar. Although the diagnosis is the same the patients are not. Each patient has difficulties grasping a portion of their clinical situation. It is up to the nurse to identify these barriers, find ways to overcome them and make certain the patient is in full understanding of the plan of care. Barriers could be as simple as the patient speaking a different language which would prompt the nurse to find an interpreter. Other barriers may compel the nurse to print out pictures,

“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

According to Roy, the Nurse using the Nursing Process, promotes adaptation responses during health and illness to free energy from ineffective or inadequate responses to increase health and wellness. Goals, mutually agreed on and prioritized, are proposed to meet the global goals of: survival/growth and promotion/reproduction of race/society/attaining full potential or mastery of self. The nurse uses activities to increase adaptive and decrease ineffective responses during illness and health. These activities alter or manipulate the client's focal, contextual and residual stimuli and expand his repertoire of effective coping mechanisms. Nursing focuses on the person as a biopsychosocial being at some point along the health-illness continuum. In contrast, medicine focuses on biological systems and the patient's

A student, in the practical nursing program, giving the best care by using and applying skills, principles, and guidelines is the main concern. Seventy-five percent of patients in hospital are elderly simply because of their fragility and decrease in their immune system which would cause mature adult to develop a health problem. Every week is about meeting new patients with different type of diagnosis so skills can develop and one of the patients has caught a particular attention.

Diseases affects the way our body works. It is because of this fact that a lot of resources are set aside by governments around the world. Families make sure that they have insurance to help during such times when diseases strike. Therefore, it is important for us in the healthcare field to try and learn every information that is available regarding the various diseases and their process. By equipping ourselves with such knowledge and information, we become an important piece of the puzzle in trying to educate those close to us, whether our families or at our work places. Florence Nightingale, maintained that the purpose of nursing is to put the patient in the best condition so that nature can act upon them. This, I believe can be achieved

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

We had 12 modules (each with 3MCQS) from block-7 (Education and Nursing Education). I will be identifying 10 concepts from them and thoroughly scrutinize how they would apply to my personal life, and other contextual settings such as social context, coupled with current related researches on these concepts.

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).

In the video about the movie “Inside Out” the characters incorporated many aspects of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Blooms Taxonomy can be defined as applying learning objectives in hopes to remembering that concept. In the video the two characters recited a song to fuel the rockets of a transportation vessel in hopes of getting to the top to save Riley. But after numerous times of reciting the song, their efforts resulted in failure as they were an arm’s length away from the reachable ledge. Suddenly, one of the characters comes to realization that their presence is holding back the mission to succeed and on the way up the slope, that character gets off the cart and the other character was able to succeed.
