Bloom’s Taxonomy Knowledge Student recalls or recognizes information, ideas, and principles in the approximate form in which they were learned. Student exhibits memory of previously-learned materials by recalling facts, terms and basic concepts.

Bloom’s Taxonomy Comprehension Knowledge Student demonstrates understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating, interpreting, giving descriptions, and stating main ideas.

Bloom’s Taxonomy Application Comprehension Knowledge Student uses new knowledge. Student solves problems to new situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different way.

Bloom’s Taxonomy Analysis Application Comprehension Knowledge Student examines and breaks information into parts by identifying motives or causes. Student makes inferences and find evidence to support generalizations. Student analyzes elements, relationships and organizational principles.

Bloom’s Taxonomy Synthesis Analysis Application Comprehension Knowledge Student compiles information together in a different way by combining elements in a new pattern or proposing alternative solutions. Student can derive a set of abstract relationships from the information.

Bloom’s Taxonomy Evaluation Synthesis Analysis Application Comprehension Knowledge Student presents and defends opinions by making judgments about information, validity of ideas or quality of work based on a set of criteria.

Writing an objective… The student will be able to +

Writing an objective… The student will be able to + verb +

GE - Skill Goal One 1.To engage in articulate expression through effective writing and speaking. The student will be able to + verb + … identify (knowledge) … summarize (comprehension) … adapt (application) … analyze (analysis) … write (synthesis) … critique (evaluation)

Goal: To engage in articulate expression through effective writing and speaking. The student will be able to + verb + learning outcome. (action you want to accomplish) knowledge …identify points of view in order to understand the message of others. comprehension …summarize ideas from chapters. application …adapt oral messages to a given situation. analysis …analyze one’s self as a communicator in order to identify strengths and weaknesses. synthesis …write for different audiences using appropriate voice, conventions, and content. evaluation …critique an argument presented in the text.

Measures (must be observable) Measures are the activities (tests, projects, papers, journals, etc.) you use to assess student learning.

Goal: To engage in articulate expression through effective writing and speaking. The student will be able to + verb + learning outcome. (action you want to accomplish) knowledge …identify points of view in order to understand the message of others. (reading review cards) Comprehension …summarize major ideas from chapters. (short answer response on quiz) Application …adapt oral messages to a given situation. (individual presentation) analysis …analyze one’s self as a communicator in order to identify strengths and weaknesses. (journal entry) synthesis …write for different audiences using appropriate voice, conventions, and content. (editorial) Evaluation …critique an argument presented in the text. (debate)

Examples of Measures Chapter Exams Projects Research projects – comprehensive in nature Exercises based on theory application Quizzes Use of online library database Class discussion Demonstrations Cases Interviews

Measures 1.Look at your syllabus. 2.What measures do you currently use to assess your students learning? 3.Of the measures you identified, which of those assess student learning of the general education knowledge and skills goals? 4.It is likely that you have already accomplished much of this work.
