Design education has significantly changed since the 1950s. The era depended widely on normative models such as those proposed by Benjamin Bloom (Bloom et al. 1956) and his collaborators, which resulted in the formulation of Bloom's Taxonomy. Comprising six interchangeable layers (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation) of higher and lower thinking, Bloom's taxonomy sets in place an archetypal model for education that thrives on object-driven goals. Here, pedagogical interchange and the object-driven and organised structure of education can adapt to each layer within the taxonomic structure.

Aim. The research goal of this paper is to theoretically substantiate the feasibility of using Benjamin Bloom’s psychological and pedagogical model and its modifications in the adult learning system. Methods. The study used the methods of theoretical analysis, synthesis and modelling of the implementation options for Bloom’s techniques in the training of adults. Results and Conclusions. The analysis showed that the use of techniques based on Bloom’s taxonomy, modified for adult training, makes it possible to develop students’ skills and abilities to thoroughly and comprehensively analyse the problem, and to find creative, effective solutions. Such a sequence of task setting as “reproduction” (knowledge), “understanding” (comprehension), “application,” “analysis,” “evaluation,” and “creation” is proposed as a general scheme of various training for adults. In particular, an example of the design of training in developing communication skills and training in overcoming procrastination skills is given.

AbstractTeachers in schools, tutors in colleges, and lecturers in universities are all required to have specific teaching qualifications. As part of the qualification, it is normal to study tried and tested pedological theories. Some examples are Bloom’s Taxonomy, Constructivism, and Experiential Learning. This paper identifies a gap in the information and knowledge required of student design engineers studying on a full-time course, when compared to part-time students. To redress this gap, it is suggested that no new theories are required but just a new method of applying an old theory, the application of Bloom’s Taxonomy in reverse alongside reverse engineering. An example of applying this method to a class of design engineers in their final year of a BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering is provided.

Children normally feel unable or less confident to express their ideas clearly, freely, and critically both orally and in writing when learning a language. Research has demonstrated that children’s early exposure to Bloom’s Taxonomy levels in stories has a “remarkable power” on them (Dickinson, et al. 2012) and helps develop their language and critical-thinking skills (Egan, 1997; Curtain & Dahlberg 2004). The aim of this research project is to investigate the role of Bloom’s Taxonomy in the development of the vocabulary and critical-thinking skills of young Moroccan English learners. The study adopts a qualitative approach and addresses two research questions, namely, (i) To what extent does Bloom’s Taxonomy contribute to the development of the children’s vocabulary and critical thinking skills? (ii) How can the children’s vocabulary and critical-thinking skills development be justified? The comparison and analysis of the children’s story reviews at the start and end of a term reveals significant improvement, among the Moroccan young learners, especially the average ones. They are able to use a wider range of more appropriate and accurate vocabulary and to make use of a more extended, analytical and relevant discourse. Hence, children’s early exposure to Bloom’s Taxonomy is highly recommended as it contributes to the development of their vocabulary and critical-thinking skills.

The causal model approach used in this study tested the cumulative hierarchical structure of the six major taxonomic levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy by measuring the strengths of the linear relationships (“links”) between levels. The assumed hierarchy should have direct links between adjacent levels and should have no indirect links between nonadjacent levels. The magnitude of these direct and indirect links was measured by constructing a causal model using multiple regression procedures. A parallel causal model method of analysis was used for determining the effect of introducing a “g” factor of general ability into the causal flow of the taxonomic structure. The results of the study suggest that both the direct and indirect causal links of the cumulative hierarchical taxonomic structure are extremely dependent on a “g” factor.

Bloom’s Taxonomy known as a hierarchical framework of learning objective that is used by teachers to measure students’ higher order thinking skills based on questions in learning. There are three domain on Bloom taxonomy which is cognitive (intellectual skill), affective (generic skill) and psychomotor (practical skill). The cognitive domain of Bloom consists of six level organized in a hierarchy from lower until higher level which includes remembering, understanding, application, analysis, evaluation and creating. Since it is introduce by Benjamin Bloom in year 1956, studies have shown there are numerous Western studies have been discusess the strengths and weaknesses of Bloom Taxonomy. However, what is the position of Bloom's Taxonomy according to the Islamic perspectives? Therefore, this paper will concentrate on the criticisms by Western and Islamic perspective against Bloom’s Taxonomy. This study will be conducted using qualitative method by analysing data with descriptive method. The findings show there are criticisms and improvements in the past studies that focus on Bloom's taxonomy into four themes: (1) hierarchical structure, (2) classification structure, (3) uses and (4) new taxonomy requirements to fit the new skills required by the 21st century learning. Indeed, this article can provides a catalyst for further exploration of Islamic influence in education. Abstrak Taksonomi  Bloom merupakan  objektif  pendidikan  yang  digunakan  oleh  pendidik  untuk  mengukur  dan  meningkatkan kemahiran berfikir aras tinggi pelajar dalam pembelajaran. Terdapat tiga domain utama yang perlu dicapai iaitu kognitif (kemahiran intelektual), afektif (kemahiran generik) dan psikomotor (kemahiran praktikal teknikal). Malahan, domain ini diklasifikasikan  mengikut  enam  aras  berbentuk  piramid  yang  disusun  dari  aras  rendah  hingga  ke  aras  tinggi.  Ia merangkumi  aras  pengetahuan,  pemahaman,  aplikasi,  analisis,  sintesis  dan  penilaian.  Sejak  ia  diperkenalkan  oleh Benjamin Bloom pada tahun 1956, terdapat pelbagai kajian Barat yang membincangkan tentang kekuatan dan kelemahan Taksonomi Bloom. Namun, bagaimana pula kedudukan Taksonomi  Bloom  menurut perspektif Islam? Oleh  itu, artikel ini  membincangkan  kritikan  Barat  dan  pandangan  Islam  terhadap  taksonomi  Bloom.  Kajian  ini  menggunakan  kaedah kualitatif  di  mana  data  akan  dianalisis  melalui  kaedah  deskriptif.  Hasil  kajian  mendapati  terdapat  kritikan  dan penambaikan  dari  kajian  lepas  yang  menfokuskan  taksonomi  Bloom  kepada  empat  tema:  (1)  susunan  hierarki,  (2) pengelasan struktur, (3) kegunaan dan (4) keperluan kepada taksonomi yang baru sesuai dengan arus pembelajaran abad ke 21. Kajian ini juga dilihat sebagai pemangkin awal bagi meluaskan bidang pengukuran Islam dalam sistem pendidikan di Malaysia.

.This study aims to classify the levels of assessment questions according to Bloom's taxonomy in English course for eleventh grade in Syria and to analyze the percentage of questions in each level (recall, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation). The sample of the study consists of student's book for eleventh grade in Syrian Arab Republic. The study follows the quantitative approach by making use the following tool: an analysis card to measure the frequency of assessment questions. The results show that assessment questions in English student’s book for eleventh grade cover all levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy. The percentages are: recall 51.65%, comprehension 14.89%, application 9,02%, analysis 2.8%, synthesis 7.48%, and evaluation 2.63%. Thus, recall which is the lowest thinking skill is the most frequent level of questions whereas evaluation is the least occurring level
