JJ Curriculum Review for the FSG Program Faculty of Applied Sciences, UiTM, Jan 29 th -30 th 2009 “The principle goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done -- men who are creative, inventive and discoverers. “ Jean Piaget “The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.” Carl Rogers

“The MOHE will thus introduce a holistic programme that will cut across all disciplines and focus on communication and entrepreneurial skills. The programme, which is intended to build a balanced perspective in all students, will expose them to subjects beyond their area of specialisation. For example, students reading for degrees in the sciences such as medicine, engineering and chemistry will be exposed to courses covering literature and philosophy. Likewise, students in the humanities will be exposed to the rudiments of science and technology, and certainly, ICT.” Source: NATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION ACTION PLAN “We must produce confident students with a sense of balance and proportion. While an individual may specialise in a certain area, his or her perspective should be enriched by other experiences as well.”

Copyright DR JJ, ASERG, UiTM, Shah Alam 23 Higher order lower order INVOLVES KNOWLEDGE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLECTUAL SKILLS

Copyright DR JJ, ASERG, UiTM, Shah Alam 24 Categories in the Cognitive Domain (Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, Bloom, 1956) Level 1 – Knowledge The remembering of previously learned material. This may involve the recall of a wide range of material, from specific facts to complete theories, but all that is required is the bringing to mind of the appropriate information. Knowledge represents the lowest level of learning outcomes in the cognitive domain. Defines, describes, identifies, labels, lists, matches, names, outlines, reproduces, selects, states. Eg.  List the six levels in the cognitive domain of Bloom’s taxonomy.  Define…  State the main principles of Theory X. Level 2 – Comprehension The ability to grasp the meaning of material. This may be shown by translating material from one form to another, by interpreting material (explaining or summarising), and by estimating future trends (predicting consequences or effects). These learning outcomes go one step beyond the simple remembering of material, and represent the lowest level of understanding. Converts, defends, distinguishes, estimates, explains, extends, generalises, gives examples, infers, paraphrases, predicts, rewrites, summarises. Eg.  Describe three main features of …  Explain the 3 main components of a learning outcome.  Summarise the main causes of the American war in Iraq. Bloom’s Taxonomy

Copyright DR JJ, ASERG, UiTM, Shah Alam 25 Level 3 – Application The ability to use learned material in new and concrete situations. This may include the application of such things as rules, methods, concepts, principles, laws and theories. Learning outcomes in this area require a higher level of understanding than those under ‘Comprehension’. Changes, computes, demonstrates, discovers, manipulates, modifies, operates, predicts, prepares, produces, relates, shows, solves, uses. E.g.:  Construct measurable learning outcomes that include lower and higher order cognitive skills for a one-semester course. Level 4 – Analysis The ability to break down material into its component parts so that its organisational structure may be understood. This may include the identification of the parts, analysis of the relationships between parts, and recognition of the organisational principles involved. Learning outcomes here represent a higher intellectual level than ‘Comprehension’ and ‘Application’ because they require an understanding of both the content and the structural form of the material. Breaks down, differentiates, discriminates, distinguishes, identifies, illustrates, infers, outlines, points out, relates, selects, separates, subdivides e.g.:  Analyse authentic data from various sources and prepare… Bloom’s Taxonomy

Copyright DR JJ, ASERG, UiTM, Shah Alam 26 Level 5 – Synthesis The ability to put parts together to form a new whole. This may involve the production of a unique communication (theme or speech), a plan of operations (research proposal), or a set of abstract relations (scheme for classifying information). Learning outcomes in this area stress creative behaviours, with major emphasis on the formulation of new patterns or structures. Categorises, combines, compiles, composes, creates, devises, designs, explains, generates, modifies, organises, plans, rearranges, revises, rewrites, summarises, tells, writes. e.g.:  Analyse authentic data from various sources and prepare a recommendation report for a specified audience. Level 6 – Evaluation The ability to judge the value of material. The judgements are to be based on definite criteria. These may be internal criteria (organisational) or external criteria (relevance to the purpose) and the student may determine the criteria or be given them. Learning outcomes in this area are highest in the cognitive hierarchy because they contain elements of all the other categories, plus conscious value judgements based on clearly defined criteria. Appraises, compares, concludes, contrasts, criticises, describes, discriminates, explains, justifies, interprets, relates, summarises, supports. e.g  Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the cognitive domain of Bloom’s taxonomy in relation to the National Educational Philosophy.

Copyright DrJJ, ASERG, FSG UiTM, April Education, we see, is not merely gaining knowledge or skills helpful toward productive work, though certainly that is a part of it. Rather it is a replenishment and an expansion of the natural thirst of the mind and soul. Learning is a gradual process of growth, each step building upon the other. It is a process whereby the learner organizes and integrates not only facts but attitudes and values. The Lord has told us that we must open our minds and our hearts to learn. There is a Chinese proverb: Wisdom is as the moon rises, perceptible not in progress but in result. As our knowledge is converted to wisdom, the door to opportunity is unlocked. Barbara W. Winder The great aim of education is not knowledge, but action. Herbert Spencer The one real goal of education is to leave a person asking questions. Max Beerbohm
