Planning for Assessment Blooms Taxonomy

TAXONOMIES A taxonomy may be defined as a system of classification

Blooms Taxonomy Creating Evaluating Analyzing Applying Understanding Remembering.

USING TAXONOMY TO CREATE FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT I would plan my lesson using specific educational objectives from blooms taxonomy I would include objectives from the various domains I would Structure assessment materials based on the educational objectives I would use construct my questions to satisfy each of the categories of bloom’s taxonomy

Formative Assignment I would use taxonomy to test students ability to remember and understand concept as guided by the blooms taxonomy model

Summative Assessment I would use the blooms taxonomy to build the educational objectives I would construct select response questions from remembering and understanding domain. I would construct other questions to test applications and analysis I would have students write an essay to test creativity and analysis

Performance Assessment I would set up a group debate to test analysis and evaluation I would set up practical assessment to test understanding and remembering

How Quality Assessments are Made QUALITY ASSESSMENTS ARE MADE BY PLANNING GOOD LESSONS THAT COVER EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES FROM BLOOM’S TAXONOMY OF EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES BY TESTING THE EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE THAT WERE TAUGHT AND NOT JUST CONTENT BY USING DIFFERENT ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES
