The document presents a revised taxonomy for learning objectives based on Bloom's Taxonomy. It describes two dimensions - the cognitive process dimension and knowledge dimension. The cognitive process dimension involves lower and higher order thinking skills. The knowledge dimension ranges from concrete to abstract knowledge. Together these dimensions provide a framework for classifying learning objectives according to the type of cognitive process and knowledge required. Tables further explain the categories within each dimension and provide examples of learning objectives.
The document summarizes Mintzberg's analysis of the Positioning School of strategic management. It presents the school's view that strategy formation is an analytical process of selecting from generic strategies recommended by consultants. The school sees strategic knowledge as oxymoronic, with everything assumed or implicit rather than actively generated. It relies on predictability and consultants outside the industry rather than internal opinions. The network of knowledge it presents has no circulation or development of knowledge over time, relying on consultants to keep it alive. The school's view presents a remarkable poverty of understanding about strategic management.
The document outlines various process skills related to information processing, problem solving, teamwork, personal skills, and critical thinking. Some key skills listed include observing, listening, estimating, problem solving, managing challenges, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and personal development skills like self-esteem and self-evaluation. The document provides a comprehensive overview of important soft skills for processing information, working with others, and developing critical thinking abilities.
920 the cognitive neuroscience of creativityMarch Lin
1. The document discusses the cognitive neuroscience of creativity and proposes there are four basic types of creativity based on two modes of processing (deliberate vs spontaneous) and two types of structures (cognitive vs emotional).
2. It analyzes the role of different brain regions like the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus in different aspects of creativity.
3. The framework suggests distinguishing different types of creativity can help resolve controversies in the field and guide future research incorporating specific cognitive processes and brain areas.
Generative learning theory focuses on how learners actively construct meaning and understanding from instructional content. It views the learner as generating connections and new knowledge, rather than passively receiving information. Key aspects include the learner taking an active role in the learning process, constructing meaningful understanding from environmental information, and comprehending through formulating connections. Effective generative activities and strategies include organizing, integrating, elaborating on content, and relating it to prior knowledge. The role of the teacher is as a facilitator to support these generative processes.
The document provides an overview of various models of thinking that can be applied in educational settings. It summarizes Bloom's Taxonomy of cognitive processes and knowledge dimensions, demonstrates how the taxonomy can be applied, and discusses other models including Marzano's Dimensions of Learning and Costa and Kallick's 16 Habits of Mind. The purpose is to show parents how these thinking models guide teaching practices and student assessment.
The document summarizes key aspects of conducting research, including:
1. Expected learning outcomes include being able to conduct research for senior project papers.
2. It distinguishes between basic and applied research, describing their different purposes, outcomes, contexts, and origins of topic choices.
3. Research methods are systematically investigating and studying materials to establish new facts and conclusions. Quantitative and qualitative approaches are outlined.
This document summarizes theories of divided attention from psychological literature. It describes dual task experiments and factors like task similarity, difficulty, and practice that influence performance. Early theories proposed either a single, limited central processor (Kahneman) or multiple specialized modules (Allport). Later theories like multiple resource theory (Navon & Gopher) and Baddeley's model of working memory provided a synthesis, combining a central executive with modality-specific subsystems to better explain dual task findings. However, all theories have limitations in fully specifying the cognitive architecture underlying divided attention.

- The cognitive dimension now includes Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create.
- The knowledge dimension categorizes knowledge as Factual, Conceptual, Procedural, and Metacognitive.
- Learning objectives are written as verbs describing cognition paired with nouns describing knowledge.
- Objectives can then be mapped onto the revised taxonomy to show cognitive complexity and knowledge type.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions!
The document compares and contrasts critical thinking and information literacy. It discusses the theoretical bases and cognitive functions of each, including how they relate to Bloom's taxonomy of learning. Idea analysis software is described that can segregate sentences, identify informative terms, and combine them into idea pairs to facilitate analysis of large amounts of text. Comparison of frequencies and triadic ideas within texts on critical thinking and information literacy show differences in higher cognitive functions addressed. Attributes of the two learning approaches are also contrasted.
The document summarizes key instructional design models and theorists including:
- Behaviorist vs constructivist approaches to instructional design
- B.F. Skinner's work on programmed instruction and operant conditioning
- Robert Mager's work on writing objectives that specify desired behaviors, conditions, and standards
- Early instructional design models like Glaser's instructional system and the Dick and Carey model
- The original ADDIE model and its evolution over time
- Constructivism and theorists like Bruner, Piaget, and Vygotsky
- Bloom's taxonomy and its revision
- Papert's constructionism and cognitive apprenticeship models
Bloom's taxonomy is a classification system used to categorize levels of thinking according to their complexity. It includes six cognitive levels: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. The original taxonomy has been revised to update terminology and categories. Both versions aim to help teachers develop learning objectives and assessments that promote higher-order thinking skills. While Bloom's taxonomy has strengths and limitations, it provides a useful framework for classifying educational goals and designing assessments to encourage problem solving.

The document discusses moving computer science education from a focus on content delivery to contextual learning. It argues that higher education is shifting to focus on what students learn rather than what lecturers teach. Contextual learning involves constructing knowledge through experiences like projects and case studies. Theories like constructivism and communities of practice support contextual learning. Contexts can be designed around learning outcomes and involve control levels, collaboration principles, and assessment strategies. Authentic assessment like portfolios and projects replace decontextualized testing. Challenges remain in assessment and platforms, but contextual learning is the future of technology-supported computer science education.
This document discusses concept maps and their theoretical foundations and uses in teaching and learning. It covers:
1. The key ideas underlying concept maps, including that they are based on theories of knowledge and learning, representing concepts and propositions in a way that shows relationships.
2. The theoretical foundations of concept maps, including Ausubel's assimilation theory of learning and Novak's research applying this to education.
3. Examples of how concept maps can be used for teaching, learning, assessment, and knowledge sharing including capturing expert knowledge and facilitating teamwork.

This document provides an overview of design-based research (DBR) methodology. DBR aims to develop theories through combined study of the learning process and the means that support it. It has three main characteristics: 1) the goal is to understand phenomena being studied while adjusting the interventionist design, 2) the protocol and design can be modified during experimentation, and 3) it can combine quantitative and qualitative methods and techniques. DBR is conducted in authentic educational contexts and focuses on improving practice through iterative analysis, design, development and implementation to establish theoretical principles and propositions.
The document discusses Revised Bloom's Taxonomy and how it relates to Common Core and NC Essential Standards. It provides an overview of Bloom's Taxonomy, including the cognitive process dimension with remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. It explains that the revised taxonomy is two-dimensional, including factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive knowledge. Various verbs are provided as examples for each level. The document encourages teachers to analyze how current activities fit on the taxonomy grid and brainstorm new higher-level projects that align to standards.
The document provides guidance on designing effective learning sessions, outlining important considerations like learning outcomes, assessment methods, instructional approaches, and the need to align these elements. It emphasizes using active and student-centered methods to maximize engagement, considering factors like group size and learners' needs, and writing measurable learning outcomes focused on skills and knowledge. The document also discusses Bloom's taxonomy and strategies for inclusive assessment.
Design-based research is an approach that aims to develop solutions to educational problems through iterative design, implementation, analysis, and redesign of interventions in authentic classroom settings. It is collaborative, interventionist, and theory-driven. The researcher conceptualized an academic article using design-based research by analyzing problems in how students learn with technology, developing theoretical frameworks to address these problems, testing redesigned learning activities, and deriving design principles from student reflections to contribute to educational theory.
Here are some key questions that could be explored further:
- How can a design thinking approach help address complex, interconnected institutional challenges in a holistic way versus isolated point solutions?
- In what ways might design thinking foster collaborative cross-functional teams and processes versus traditional top-down, executive-led approaches?
- Could adopting human-centered research and visualization techniques lead to more sustainable long-term cultural and strategic change compared to transactional consulting models?
- What evidence exists that design thinking can effectively transfer practices and capabilities to institutions in a replicable way versus one-off engagements?
- How might ongoing design, shaping and iteration help institutions continually meet evolving learner needs versus static solutions?
- What
The three learning objectives for the course are:
1) Students will be able to describe (remember) the key instructional design models and their components (Knowledge).
2) Students will be able to apply (apply) instructional design principles to analyze a learning need and design an instructional solution (Application).
3) Students will be able to evaluate (evaluate) the effectiveness of an instructional design and propose improvements (Evaluation).

A Taxonomy for Learning, Teaching, and Assessing:
A Revision of Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives
Among other modi�ications, Anderson and Krathwohl’s (2001) revision of the original Bloom’s taxonomy (Bloom & Krathwohl, 1956)
rede�ines the cognitive domain as the intersection of the Cognitive Process Dimension and the Knowledge Dimension. This document
offers a three-dimensional representation of the revised taxonomy of the cognitive domain.
Although the Cognitive Process and Knowledge dimensions are represented as hierarchical steps, the distinctions between categories are
not always clear-cut. For example, all procedural knowledge is not necessarily more abstract than all conceptual knowledge; and an
objective that involves analyzing or evaluating may require thinking skills that are no less complex than one that involves creating. It is
generally understood, nonetheless, that lower order thinking skills are subsumed by, and provide the foundation for higher order
thinking skills.
The Knowledge Dimension classi�ies four types of knowledge that learners may be expected to acquire or construct—
ranging from concrete to abstract (Table 1).
Table 1. The Knowledge Dimension – major types and subtypes
concrete knowledge abstract knowledge
factual conceptual procedural metacognitive*
knowledge of terminology knowledge of classifications and knowledge of subject-specific strategic knowledge
categories skills and algorithms
knowledge of specific details and knowledge about cognitive tasks,
elements knowledge of principles and knowledge of subject-specific including appropriate contextual
generalizations techniques and methods and conditional knowledge
knowledge of theories, models, knowledge of criteria for self-knowledge
and structures determining when to use
appropriate procedures
(Table 1 adapted from Anderson and Krathwohl, 2001, p. 46.)
*Metacognitive knowledge is a special case. In this model, “metacognitive knowledge is knowledge of [one’s own]
cognition and about oneself in relation to various subject matters . . . ” (Anderson and Krathwohl, 2001, p. 44).
2. This taxonomy provides a framework for determining and clarifying learning objectives.
Learning activities often involve both lower order and higher order thinking skills as well as a mix of concrete and abstract knowledge.
The Cognitive Process Dimension represents a continuum of increasing cognitive complexity—from lower order
thinking skills to higher order thinking skills. Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) identify nineteen speci�ic cognitive processes that further
clarify the scope of the six categories (Table 2).

3. A statement of a learning objective contains a verb (an action) and an object (usually a noun).
• The verb generally refers to [actions associated with] the intended cognitive process.
• The object generally describes the knowledge students are expected to acquire
or construct. (Anderson and Krathwohl, 2001, pp. 4–5)
