Does a hierarchy of thinking like Bloom's taxonomy make sense to you? What are some circumstances in which it might be interesting or useful to consider whether a person is using lower or higher levels of thought?
I agree with Bloom's ideas. However i think that his discovery is nothing more than common sense. Then again i think a lot of the early discoveries of civilization were also common sense. Mondern day people have a much harder time impressing society i think than people like Einstien and Bloom etc... But back to Bloom I agree with his understanding of how exactly the mind shouldbe interpreted in order to suceed. Knowledge can be shared but its understanding the shared information that is important not just the fact that at one point or another you remember something about comma's or the gettysburg address. These bits of information become acquantences to us when we don't fully understand them. So basically it sounds familliar but we couldn't tell you what it is about, that is why Blooms policy is a go format
Bloom’s Taxonomy is really a decent form of higher level thinking. I do understand it because it makes sense. Bloom’s is saying what is common knowledge, it may be one thing to just know something and comprehend it, but that’s the lowest forms of thinking. What people need to work on is how they can apply their understanding and knowledge to look at the big picture at hand. A few circumstances when it’s useful to tell if someone is using lower or higher level thinking is really when they are making some sort of argument or report. Because if they just spit out facts, they don’t really understand the material but if they make this great argument through their understanding then it’s really neat. Most people just read and then spit out facts so, reading quizzes as well are decent ways to see if someone who has achieved higher level thought. So the Bloom’s formula is really a great way to format to follow if a person is wanting to reach higher levels of thought because it tells what comes after each step.
I think that a hierarchy of thinking like Bloom's Taxonomy can be useful if you understand it and confusing if you don't. After reading the document on it, it does make more sense to me and the table helps a great deal. I find the table similar to the old food pyramid where the most important criteria is on the bottom, making up the triangle and it works its way up in order from most important to least important ending at the top. In analyzing stories I think that using Bloom's Taxonomy to help respond to questions will help give the reader a certain strategy that will help them succeed when responding to guided questions about the story
But unlike the food pyramid, the most important thinking ingredients are on the top of the Bloom's taxonomy pyramid. The higher you go up the pyramid, the more complex the thinking task at hand. Higher levels of analysis and judgment are obviously built on lower levels of knowledge and comprehension, but this is a pyramid we are trying to climb.--Mrs. Gill
Lauren Corley- With a hierarchy of thinking like the Bloom's taxonomy, I'm able to use this to help my writing when answering questions over a piece of writing. I can use this to help challenge myself with writing answers to questions.
Kara N- A hierarchy of thinking like Bloom’s taxonomy makes sense to me, but I also think that he is just stating common knowledge in a better format. Most people can figure out the types of questions that really make a person think more to answer and Bloom’s taxonomy just puts names and an order to all of that. A circumstance in which it would be interesting or useful to consider what level of thinking a person is using is when they are arguing a point. If they are just using the lowest levels they may not fully understand what they are saying or why they are right. When they are using higher levels of thinking then they will have a better argument and can defend their point in a better way.
Blooms taxonomy is a clever way to organize the different ways of answering questions by ordering them in a way showing different levels of complexity. It is, in a way, common sense. Most people can easily see that synthesizing information is of a higher level than recalling facts. However, I believe the main use of the pyramid image is to show the importance of setting a foundation with knowlege and understanding before attempting analysis and application.
Marc St. Amour - I think Bloom's Taxonomy makes a lot of sense. The idea of classifying certain aspects of education intrigues me. I do agree in saying that it is basically a complication of what should be common knowledge. Circumstances where I can see considering this would be interesting would be during a conversation. When the higher objectives are met and challenged, the conversation is a lot more stimulating and reveals much more about the people talking.
