There are 6 cognitive levels that fall under Bloom’s
Taxonomy: remembering, understanding,
applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating.
These traits provide a means of expressing qualitatively different kinds
of thinking. They organize thinking by beginning
with the most basic forms of remembering, all the way to more a complex
thinking of creating.
Although it may not seem like it at first, Bloom’s
Taxonomy shares similarities to the National Standards for Music
Education. They both use active verbs to
describe each category or standard. Some
of these key verbs include understanding and evaluating which are
listed under both topics. Other words
listed on the standards like composing and improvising can be
linked to creating under the Bloom’s Taxonomy pyramid.
When Bloom’s Taxonomy is applied to specific learning
activities whether it’s a music lesson, playing an instrument, or a studying a
unit in social studies, it will help develop the full range of students’
cognitive abilities.
Lucia,
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said in the second paragraph. That on the surface, or at first it may not seem like there are similarities between the two but when looking at it in a different perspective it seems that they actually pretty much the same thing. Would you agree that the National Education Standards are pretty much just a much more diced up list of Bloom's Taxonomy?
I also found it interesting that you looked at it in a way of comparing active verbs as well. That was really interesting that you did that and helped me think about the comparisons of the two that much further.
Haha by the way this is Luke Dreier. I have no idea why it says I'm Tommy. hahaha
Thank you Tommy, I mean Luke! Haha :)
