Bloom and Krathwohl's taxonomy

When I considered about the Complexity of the tree dimensions of the objectives, there are some taxonomy cited such as Bloom, Krathwohl, or Gagne. As for me Gagne's nine events is very familiar to me due to the application in the IDE 631 couse. However I have little sense about the other two taxonomies. Therefore I searched for some information online, and found a website which provides very clear matrix to demenstrate. These are very good taxonomy that I can apply depending on different instructional condition. Here is the website about the taxonomies of Bloom and Krathwohl. http://www.uwsp.edu/education/lwilson/curric/newtaxonomy.htm

  1. Thanks lu, I too was unsure of the taxonomies but this website sums it up quite nicely.

  2. Hi Lu-

    Gagne's taxonomy is actually similar to Bloom's, and is different than the 9 events of instruction. Gagne had five types of learning outcomes. I did a quick search, and found more info for you here: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/8968763/Taxonomy-of-learning-outcomes
