Online assignments play an important role in online teaching and learning, and the revised Bloom's Taxonomy has been proved to be valuable for real teaching and learning. But few research efforts are put into combining online assignment design with the revised Bloom's Taxonomy. This chapter is to propose a model of designing online assignments based on the revised Bloom's Taxonomy, which can be used as a guide for online instructor to design a comprehensive online assignment with helping the students to master the four types of knowledge–factual knowledge, conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge and metacognitive knowledge–and at the same time help the students develop the six-stage cognitive process.

The aim of this study is to taxonomically analyse the 9th grade Turkish chemistry curriculum. A descriptive analysis method is used throughout the study. The document analysis is applied as a method to construct the codes and themes to reflect the results of the study. The results of the study exhibit that most of learning outcomes of the 9th grade chemistry curriculum focus on understand level (61%), and other levels of outcomes are remember (16%), apply (5%), analyse (13%), evaluate (0%) and create (5%). In addition, learning outcomes in the distribution of the cognitive domain are conceptual knowledge (79%), factual knowledge (16%), metacognitive knowledge (5%) and procedural knowledge (0%). The analysis of the textbook clearly shows that majority of the outcomes of units are based on conceptual knowledge and factual knowledge in particular units; however, the textbook has no learning outcomes as procedural and metacognitive in some units such as second, third and fourth units.

Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the coverage of Revised Bloom’s taxonomy in the English Standar Kompetensi (SK), Kompetensi Dasar (KD) and the English test items of Ujian Nasional for SMA. Content analysis method was chosen as the research design for this study. The writer analyzed the data by categorizing the verbs and the nouns of the data in relation to the categories and dimension of Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. The results of this study revealed that 53% of SKs and KDs cover Understand category and the rest cover Analyze category. All of the SKs and KDs cover conceptual knowledge and other knowledge dimensions are not covered. Moreover, the coverage of Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy in English test items of Ujian Nasional for SMA is not aligned with the coverage of Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy in English SK and KD. The SKs and KDs only cover Remember, Understand, Apply and Analyze categories while the test items were associated with Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, and Evaluate categories. More than 90% of English test items of Ujian Nasional for SMA only covered low order of cognitive categories (Remember, Understand, and Apply). Most of the test items covered factual knowledge and the rest of them covered conceptual knowledge and none of them covered procedural and metacognitive knowledge.

Different Levels

What do we want our students to learn from an experience? This is the central question that underpins learning objectives. Learning objectives attempt to describe the manifestations of learning that we would like to see by the end of a learning experience (e.g. a course or a learning module). Traditionally areas of knowledge that are the target of learning objectives are described as domains. Typically knowledge is described as cognitive, affective, or psychomotor and there are other domains such as interpersonal1-4. The domain describes the nature of the learning. Has the student learned a new cognitive process, or learned to care about something new? The organization of learning into these domains helps us to make sense of the types of knowledge that our students are learning. A domain is like a country, it defines a piece of the knowledge landscape. A taxonomy of learning attempts to map that landscape. It creates categories that describe ways of knowing. Just as a map describes the landscape using categories (e.g. roads, parks, towns), a taxonomy categorizes ways of knowing so that we can better define the manifestation of learning that we want our students to achieve. Most taxonomies are meant to be thorough maps of one domain. For example Bloom’s taxonomy describes ways of knowing within the cognitive process domain1. It attempts to categorize all of the different levels of learning in this domain. When Anderson and Krathwohl later updated Bloom’s taxonomy they added a second dimension, the knowledge dimension, which breaks apart the domain into 4 parts: factual knowledge, conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge, and metacognitive knowledge5. Their taxonomy applies the same levels of learning (i.e. cognitive processes) to each of these four pieces of the domain. Bloom’s (or Anderson’s) do not describe everything that a student should learn. They are only meant to describe one type of learning: cognitive process. Other taxonomies map other domains and some taxonomies cut across domains.

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the process used to examine the inter-rater reliability of the Teacher Work Sample (TWS) Scoring Rubric involved with the senior culminating experience for teacher candidates used at a large comprehensive university.     The study compared holistic and analytic scores reported by Student Teacher Seminar course instructors to those of trained participants to determine the consistency of ratings between the two groups.  The study resulted in several clear areas for revising the TWS for reliability and created a foundation for future revisions.  What may prove to be the most important finding of the study, however, is the need to examine the differences among scoring practices of raters because scoring varies among people.  Common errors include misinterpretation of scoring rubrics, prompts, the teaching and learning process, and even concepts such as revised Bloom’s Taxonomy.  This finding could be generalized to other universities as all education programs utilize scoring prompts and rubrics to measure teacher candidate performance and most all use  revised Bloom’s Taxonomy in the teaching and learning process.

Mathematical Abstraction

In this study, it was investigated whether it would be possible to observe abstraction processes of secondary school 7th graders using the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. For this purpose, eight students participated in the study. The study was conducted at a state secondary school in Turkey. Purposeful sampling method was used in the selection of students and different students were examined by their achievement levels. The research was modeled as a case study and the data were obtained through interviews. Therefore, the data were collected through an interview form developed by the researchers. The collected data were analyzed according to descriptive analysis method. The findings show that the abstraction process differs according to the dimensions of the taxonomy. Accordingly, it was determined that a student who abstracts information should behave at least at the application level in the cognitive level and at least at the conceptual knowledge level in the knowledge dimension. It was also considered that the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy categorized the cognitive mechanisms required by abstraction processes thoroughly. Supporting this study with quantitative data is suggested so that the findings may become more significant.

Understanding the intellectual demands of an intended curriculum is crucial as it defines the frames for teaching and learning processes and practice during lessons. In this study, upper-secondary school chemistry curricula contents in Czechia, Finland, and Turkey were analysed, and their objectives were compared using the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT). The intellectual demands were examined analysing the action verbs in the three curricula objectives based on their association with the intended cognitive process dimensions in the RBT. The Turkish upper-secondary chemistry curriculum was found to be more structured, detailed, and containing more objectives than the Czech and Finnish curricula. The domineering objectives in cognitive demands were understand (77.2%) and analyse and apply (both 7.1%). Conceptual items dominated (59.8%) with procedural items identified (29.1%). Also, there are five metacognitive items (3.9%). The Czech curriculum, compared to the Finnish and Turkish curricula, does not take modern trends in the field of chemistry into account. The cognitive demands in the Czech curriculum were skewed toward apply (40%) with understand and evaluate accordingly represented by 20%. Conceptual items dominate with a 53.3% of occurrence. In the Finnish curriculum, the cognitive demands were skewed toward apply (47.1%) with create (23.5%) and understand (17.6%). Procedural (35.3%) domains predominate, although metacognitive objectives represent a significant share (23.5%) too. These findings from the contents and intellectual demands of the curricula in each of the three countries have the potential to help teachers and other actors in education design the interventions and assessments implemented in the classes. Comparing the distribution of intellectual demands between the countries provides an international reference for educational reforms in hand in many countries.

The purpose of the study is to reveal the types of knowledge level and cognitive processes by evaluating the objectives and indicators of Ministry of National Education 2013 Preschool Curriculum according to the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. The study is a descriptive research and it was carried out by using case study methodology. The data set of this study consists of 63 goals and 241 indicators in the Preschool Curriculum, which was developed by Ministry of National Education-General Directorate of Basic Education in 2013. The data were collected by using the "Objectives and Indicator Evaluation Form" created by the researchers and the content analysis method was used in the analysis of the data obtained. The whole curriculum was analyzed and according to the cognitive processes and it was revealed that the highest intensity was at the application and understanding processes, and the least intensity at the creativity process. While factual knowledge was mostly used knowledge type in the curriculum, it was revealed that operational and metacognitive knowledge were the least used knowledge types. The curriculum was cognitive dominant, and the distribution of objectives and indicators of the curriculum was not balanced across all developmental domains. The curriculum objectives and indicators may be revised to support whole development of children.

Case Based Learning

This study proposes the use of case study in teaching an undergraduate course of Introduction to Business Information Systems Development in class, based on the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. According to the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy of cognitive skills, it includes six levels which are knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, evaluation, and creation. The lower level of skill is required to be formed before progressing to the higher levels. Therefore, two lower levels of skills comprising knowledge and comprehension are inherent in the course before commencing a case study. In this study, learning activities associated with the Revised Taxonomy-based learning strategy are proposed to support the development of higher-level cognitive skills. The potential effects and benefits of these activities to teaching and learning will be discussed. A conceptual model and hypotheses will be recommended for future study.
