Bloom’s Taxonomy

 

Bloom’s Taxonomy is a visual that provides a set of levels ranging from simple to complex that students will work on moving up on while learning content. There are verbs on each level that describes what students are going to be able to master. These 6 levels include: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating.

Webb’s Depth of Knowledge 


Webb’s Depth of Knowledge is also a model with levels that you would use in a classroom to show that students will apply their learning. This model has 4 levels which include: Recalling & Reproduction, Skills & concepts, Strategic Thinking, and Extended Thinking. The big difference between the DOK and Bloom’s taxonomy is that DOK has no hierarchical levels. Each level doesn’t have to happen in order necessarily.

While in the classroom, both of these methods are something that I would really focus my lesson plans on when creating lessons based on the standards. I would have a goal for each student to be able to master all levels and components of both of these methods. I would use feedback and multiple assessments throughout each standard to see what track the students are on and if there are specific areas that may need to be revisited. I would also use both of these methods while working with small groups. This is especially the area in that I would focus on these methods and have a target for each group to be able to achieve success. I think it would also be essential to show students visuals of these methods and always show them the goal of what we are working towards for each objective. I think this would help students understand these methods while also getting a better understanding of each objective.

    Hi Kelsi, I really like the butterfly picture of Bloom's taxonomy. I like how it seems to be geared towards elementary school teachers like we will be!

Weeks 7 & 8

  During weeks 7 and 8, we focused on learning how to use excel and applying data. This is a helpful way to work on making an organized platform to put any documentation for students, objectives, and content. Excel is a helpful resource to use that can help track the progress of students. This can be organized by graphs, charts, grids, or any other organized way that works for you.  Norm-reference tests VS Criterion-referenced tests Norm-reference tests - results that are compared to others of a similar group Criterion-referenced tests - results compared to a set standard and testers are ranked in relation to tested knowledge  Validity VS Reliability:  It is important to understand that collecting data in the classroom is very important for assessments. This can determine how students are understanding the content, what lessons or assessments students are doing well in, and whether content needs revisited, and this also allows teachers to see how students are doing i...

  Documentation: During this week, we continued our discussion on documentation which is a way of recording a child’s progress with their academics, behaviors, child’s discussions and ideas, and their ideas. There are different types of documentation: Panels and Portfolios.  Panels:  The purpose of this type of documentation is to show what the students in the classroom are learning. The panels may include pieces of work from a child, multiple stages of completion of an activity, voices written by what students are saying, and any other ways to show what students are doing in class. This is good for students to have the opportunity to revisit what they have been learning in their classes. The most important part about this type of documentation is that the children’s learning is visible to everyone.  Portfolios:  The purpose of this documentation is to systematically collect evidence of children’s work and knowledge over time with demonstrations of a child’s eff...

  The ABCD Method is a method that is used to identify what students are able to do and gives a clear picture of what students need to do to be successful. These are also known as objectives.  Audience:   who is this objective obtained to  Behavior:   describes what the student is able to do; must be observable and measurable Condition:   any resources, limitations, or materials given while completing objective  Degree:   the level or criteria student succeeds; to what degree of mastery  ABCD Example:  Given four examples of ABCD instructional objectives, ELEC 316 students will work in groups of 2-3 to accurately identify the audience, behavior, condition, and degree of each example. This visual above is also important to keep in mind when creating objectives with the ABCD Method. The object must be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based in order to be a clear objective for students to understand. If it’s missing ...
