Photosynthesis is one of the fundamental processes on Earth and it ranks among the most demanding science concepts for students, associated with a number of misconceptions. For improving students’ understanding and learning outcomes the constructivist approach has proven to be one of the most effective. In this research the constructivist teaching model of photosynthesis (CTMP) was designed and its effectiveness on students’ understanding was tested. Students (N=201) from Slovenian primary schools (aged 11–12 years) participated in the research. CTMP was used in the experimental group (EG), while the traditional teaching approach was used in the control group (CG). Students’ learning achievements were evaluated using the paper-and-pencil tests. The test items were classified into three groups based on Bloom’s taxonomy: (1) knowledge, (2) comprehension and application, and (3) analysis, synthesis, evaluation. Mann-Whitney U-test showed that the EG had better learning outcomes than the CG. Statistically significant differences were found at the highest cognitive level. The CTMP contributes to the improvement of teaching and learning of photosynthesis, fosters the development of higher-order thinking and offers opportunity for integration of the constructivist approach in science classes, which will help to increase the quality of acquired knowledge and to raise the level of scientific literacy of the population. Key words: teaching about photosynthesis, constructivist approach, Bloom’s taxonomy, primary school.

Taksonomi adalah klasifikasi benda mengikut ciri-ciri tertentu. Taksonomi dalam bidang pendidikan digunakan untuk mengklasifikasikan tujuan pendidikan, penyusunan penilaian dan kurikulum. Bloom telah mengkategorikan tiga ranah dalam pembelajaran, yaitu; ranah kognitif, ranah afektif dan ranah psikomotor. Taksonomi Bloom fokus pada terminologi (1) pengetahuan; (2) pemahaman; (3) penerapan; (4) analisis; (5) sintesis; dan (6) evaluasi. Sedangkan terminolginya berubah dengan adanya Taksonomi Revisi pada tahun 2001 oleh Anderson & Krathwohl dengan terminologi (1) mengingat; (2) memahami; (3) mengaplikasikan; (4) menganalisis; (5) menilai; dan (6) mencipta. Terminologi ini berubah dengan mempertimbangkan keperluan holistik agar lebih mudah dalam penerapannya oleh guru di sekolah. Fokus utama makalah ini adalah membahas ranah kognitif Revisi Anderson & Krathwohl 2001 dan penerapannya dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran pantun di sekolah dasar.   Anderson & Krahthwohl Cognitive Applications in Teaching and Learning Pantun in Elementary Schools Abstract: Taxonomy is the classification of things according to certain characteristics. Taxonomy in education is used to classify educational objectives, assessment and curriculum preparation. Bloom has categorized three domains in learning, namely; cognitive domain, affective domain and psychomotor domain. Bloom’s taxonomy focuses on the terminology of (1) knowledge; (2) understanding; (3) application; (4) analysis; (5) synthesis; and (6) evaluation. While the terminology changed with the introduction of the Revised Taxonomy in 2001 by Anderson & Krathwohl with the terminology (1) recalling; (2) understand; (3) apply; (4) analyze; (5) evaluate; and (6) create. This terminology changes by considering the holistic need to make it more relevant in its application by teachers at the school level. The main focus of this paper is a discussion on the cognitive domain of the 2001 Anderson & Krathwohl Revision and its application in the teaching and learning of verse in primary schools. Keywords: Bloom's Taxonomy, Cognitive Area, Poetry, Revised Taxonomy.

Learning to program requires the development of multiple skills including critical thinking, problem-solving, as well as learning the syntax and semantics of the programming language. For novices, to acquire all these skills is considered a challenging and difficult task. They have to focus on both problem-solving strategies and the syntax and semantics of the programming language to acquire these skills. In this study, this article compares the current teaching and learning approach of an introductory programming (IP) course with the six categories of Bloom's taxonomy. The assurance of learning (AOL) process was incorporated in the IP course to assess students' learning outcomes on the basis of achiever (high, medium and low) and performance (very good, good enough and not good enough) categories. The results showed that the current teaching and learning approach of the IP course addressed all the six categories of Bloom's taxonomy. Most of the students (63%) fall under the medium achiever category. Moreover, 50% students learning outcomes come under ‘not good enough' performance category.

The integration of religious sciences (Naqli) with social and physical sciences (Aqli) manifests the uniqueness of education system in Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM). This model of teaching and learning, known as iNaQ, is however is still incomplete, thus leaving rooms for improvisation. The aspect of a standardised measurement and method of evaluation have become one of the vital impediment that ought to be enhanced. Thus, this study aims to improve the iNaQ model by applying and integrating Bloom's taxonomy of learning that will establish and produce a domain-based learning outcome. The present research utilises a qualitative approach in which textual analysis is applied as the main instruments of examination. The samples used are extracted from related documents. As a result, the application of Bloom's learning taxonomy in USIM's iNaQ Model creates clear learning outcomes for each levels of process. This finding provides a solution to the non-uniformity in the implementation and evaluation of courses in USIM due to the lack of clear iNaQ learning outcomes.

Academic Tradition

Classroom actions rely, among other things, on teaching habits and traditions. Previous research has clarified three different teaching traditions in science education: the academic tradition builds on the idea that simply the products and methods of science are worth teaching; the applied tradition focuses on students’ ability to use scientific knowledge and skills in their everyday life; and the moral tradition opens up a relationship between science and society, focusing on students’ decision making concerning socio scientific issues. The aim of this paper is to identify and discuss similarities and differences between the science curricula in Sweden, France and Western Switzerland in terms of teaching traditions. The study considers the following dimensions in the analysis: (1) the goals of science education as presented in the initial recommendations of the curricula; (2) the organization and division of the core contents; and (3) the learning outcomes expected from the students in terms of concepts, skills and/or scientific literacy requirements. Although the three traditions are taken into account within the various initial recommendations, the place they occupy in the content to be taught is different in each case. In the Swedish curriculum, our analyses show that the three traditions are embedded in the initial recommendations and in the expected outcomes. On the other hand, in the Western-Swiss and French curricula, the three traditions are embedded in the initial recommendations but only academic tradition can be found in the expected outcomes. Therefore, the Swedish curriculum seems to be more consistent regarding teaching traditions. This may have some consequences on teaching and learning practices, which will be discussed in the article. Moreover, our analyses enable us to put forward definitions of teaching tradition.

Instrumentation subject has a major and vital role in the industrial field. The concepts of sensors, actuators, signal interface, and conditioning, programming the microprocessor and microcontroller are the most important requisites to comprehend and contribute to the real-world application. The application of these concepts is PLC and Robotics course where the students can apply and practical experience the output. To design a project and to implement we need multidisciplinary concepts and sequence of steps viz., defining an idea, requirements and the fabricating parts to bring out a visual structure in order to perform an intended function. To inculcate this culture it’s much more important to follow and implement the standard and well-known methodology called Bloom’s taxonomy in the classroom environment for a better outcome of the course. Current leading technology PLC and Robotics course, (which require prerequisite knowledge of courses like Instrumentation, Microprocessors, Mechatronics) are very well connected for applying the gained concepts to continue the stream of the learning process. The paper presents how to bring better learning Outcomes and also create interest in the course PLC and Robotics by implementing Bloom’s taxonomy by conducting activities in the classroom.
