Bloom’s Taxonomy:

Bloom’s Taxonomy Identifies and describes, in hierarchical order, the cognitive processes involved in learning

Implication for Teaching:

Implication for Teaching Use verbs aligned to the taxonomy to plan lessons that would ensure that learners’ cognitive skills develop from LOTS to HOTS

Revised Taxonomy:

Revised Taxonomy The original taxonomy has now been revised to make provision for the new knowledge and skills that now exist as a result of the integration of web 2.0 tools in teaching

Original and Revised Taxonomies :

Original and Revised Taxonomies

Bloom (Rev.) and Web 2.0:

Bloom (Rev.) and Web 2.0

Jerome Bruner - Focus:

Jerome Bruner - Focus Development of conceptual understanding, cognitive skills and learning strategies rather than the acquisition of knowledge

Bruner’s Focus:

Bruner’s Focus Teaching Approach - Learners should be encouraged to discover solutions via appropriate tasks which require the application of relevant critical thinking skills

Bruner – Modes of Thinking:

Bruner – Modes of Thinking Extended aspects of Piaget’s theory. He identified three ways in which learners process information

Slide 12:

Enactive Level – learning takes place via direct manipulation of objects and materials

Slide 13:

Iconic Level – Objects are represented by visual images and are recognized for what they represent

Slide 14:

Symbolic Level – Learning can take place using symbols, objects and mental images. Language is used to represent thoughts and experiences

Implications for Teaching:

Implications for Teaching Providing opportunities for learners to be actively engaged in making sense of the language input, through meaningful tasks

Slide 16:

Providing opportunities for learners to develop the ability to analyze the language, make generalizations about rules, take risks in trying out the language, and to learn from errors

Slide 17:

Catering for interaction of learner with curriculum material and the learning environment Catering for the three modes of thinking (Bruner)

Slide 18:

The Spiral Process : The cumulative nature of learning requires frequent opportunities for reviewing previously learnt material even as new material is introduced.
