1. The Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Implementation in Teaching and Learning Activities at Faculty of Electrical Engineering UTeM

2. Background In 1956, Benjamin Bloom, a professor at the University of Chicago, shared his famous "Taxonomy of Educational Objectives". Bloom identified three domains of educational activities: o Cognitive: mental skills (knowledge) o Affective : growth in feeling or emotional areas (attitude) o Psychomotor : manual or physical skills (skills)

3. Background continues… Taxonomy of learning behaviors can be thought as “the goal of learning process’ Learner should have acquired a new skills, knowledge and/or attitude after learning process. There are other hierarchies in educational But Bloom’s easily understood and most widely applied one

4. Cognitive Domain Involve knowledge and development of intellect skills Include recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural patterns or concepts Six major categories, listed in order, from simplest behavior to most complex Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation

5. Evaluation Synthesis Analysis Application Comprehension Knowledge Higher-Level Thinking Skills

6. Bloom’s Taxonomy- Knowledge Observation and recall of information Knowledge of dates, events, places Knowledge of major ideas Mastery of subject matter Question Cues when evaluating: list, define, tell, describe, identify, show, label, collect, examine, tabulate, quote, name, who, when, where, etc.

7. Bloom’s Taxonomy- Comprehension Understanding information Grasp meaning Translate knowledge into new context Interpret facts, compare, contrast Order, group, infer causes Predict consequences Question Cues when evaluating: summarize, describe, interpret, contrast, predict, associate, distinguish, estimate, differentiate, discuss, extend

8. Bloom’s Taxonomy- Application Use information Use methods, concepts, theories in new situations Solve problems using required skills or knowledge Question Cues when evaluating: apply, demonstrate, calculate, complete, illustrate, show, solve, examine, modify, relate, change, classify, experiment, discover

9. Bloom’s Taxonomy- Analysis Seeing patterns Organization of parts Recognition of hidden meanings Identification of components Question Cues when evaluating: analyze, separate, order, explain, connect, classify, arrange, divide, compare, select, explain, infer

10. Bloom’s Taxonomy- Synthesis Use old ideas to create new ones Generalize from given facts Relate knowledge from several areas Predict, draw conclusions Question Cues when evaluating: combine, integrate, modify, rearrange, substitute, plan, create, design, invent, what if, compose, formulate, prepare, generalize, rewrite

11. Bloom’s Taxonomy- Evaluation Compare and discriminate between ideas Assess value of theories, presentations Make choices based on reasoned argument Verify value of evidence Recognize subjectivity Question Cues when evaluating: assess, decide, rank, grade, test, measure, recommend, convince, select, judge, explain, discriminate, support, conclude, compare, summarize

16. Affective Domain To deal with things emotionally Such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations and attitudes Five major categories listed from simplest to most complex Receiving, Responding, Valuing, Organizing, Characterization

20. Psychomotor Domain Includes physical movement, coordination and use of motor-skill areas Development requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance, procedures or techniques in execution Seven major categories listed from simplest to most complex Perception, Set, Guided Response, Mechanism, Complex Response, Adaptation, Origination

26. Case study 2: BEKC 4773

27. Example: Application of Bloom Taxonomy in the development of Final Exam Question Subject BEKC 4773 Robotic and Automation 6 levels in the Cognitive domain Knowledge (recalling facts, terms, basic concepts and answer) List down three (3) out of four (4) classes of robot recognised by a Robotic Industry Association (RIA) Explain briefly three (3) advantages and disadvantages of electric driven robot. State four (4) robot arm configurations available together with their work envelope

28. Example continues… Comprehension (understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating etc) Obtain a table of the arm parameter Show the attachment of link frames Write down the coordinate frames for that manipulator using D-H algorithm Application (Use methods, concepts, theories in new situations) Obtain the transformation matrices H 0 1 and H 1 2. Obtain the forward kinematics matrix H 0 2. Obtain the inverse position of the spherical arm

29. Example continues… Analysis( examine and break information into parts by identifying motives or causes. Make inferences and find evidence) List down three robot drives available and explain which ones is the most preferred. Provide references to support your answer. Synthesis (use old ideas to create new ones, relate knowledge from several areas, predict, draw conclusions) Obtain the inverse position of the cylindrical arm from the calculated forward kinematic, H 0 3.. Explain which is the correct angle and distance.

30. Example continues.. Evaluation (compare and discriminate between ideas, assess value of theories, presentation, verify value of evidence, recognize subjectivity) Do you think that LSPB trajectory is much better in term of velocity and acceleration trajectory? Why and why not?

32. Word of wisdom… Take time to THINK. It is source of power Take time to READ. It is the foundation of wisdom Take time to QUIET. It is the opportunity to seek God Take time to DREAM. It is the future made of Take time to PRAY. It is the greatest power on earth
