...Bloom’s Research and Response Janet Ibrahim NUR/427 April 13, 2015 Trecia Jones Bloom’s Research and Response The use of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education in nursing education provides a guideline for data collection, data analysis evaluation and implementation of a working plan. In other words, it maps out the critical thinking process. Critical thinking is a valuable skill that nurses must have to provide quality nursing care as well as being accountable and responsible for educating patients in health care settings. There has been extensive research conducted on Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education and its use in Nursing Education. For example, in secondary school most of us are taught to memorize information for testing purposes. (Concialdi, 2013). We have to recall certain facts or pieces of information and not having to apply information to reach a certain outcome or goal. In nursing, Bloom’s Taxonomy allows students to use knowledge taught to critically think In 1956, Benjamin Bloom and his colleagues developed Bloom’s Taxonomy, a classification of learning objectives within education. Using Bloom’s Taxonomy as a framework to develop lesson plans and measurable educational objectives will ensure that all facets of the patient’s health needs are addressed in the educational phase of nursing care and serves as a foundation for the beginnings of educational research. The taxonomy is divided into three domains, the cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Within the three domains...

...Blooms Research and Response Carrie Cherrie NUR/427 July 2, 2015 Lois Manning Blooms Research and Response Blooms taxonomy was created in 1956 under the leadership of educational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Bloom. (The Cognitive Domain, n.d.) An essential goal in nursing is to continue education to enhance the nurse’s ability to improve patient care outcomes. Bloom’s theory of education provides the guidelines to promote higher forms of thinking, such as analyzing and evaluating rather than just remembering facts. (The Cognitive Domain, n.d.) The revised Bloom theory provides the framework for nurses to transfer their knowledge to everyday practice. The application of research conducted in Bloom’s taxonomy on nursing education focuses on teaching, organize lesson plan, assess and evaluate. The application of the research is also used to create learning objectives and instructional outlines for written educational materials. (Su & Osisek, 2011) For example, nurses have to teach patients about different disease processes and need to have the knowledge to know how to effectively teach a patient. Bloom identified three domains of educational activities or learning categories. The three domains are cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. The first domain is cognitive, which involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills. (Su & Osisek, 2011) There are six major categories of cognitive processes, ranging from the simplest to complex. The...

...Bloom’s Research and Response Ralph Guzman NUR/427 June 1, 2012 Professor Smith Bloom’s Research and Response Teaching is something that goes hand-in-hand with nursing. As the teaching role for the Registered Nurse (RN) expands so must the nurse’s teaching skills through continuing education. Because of the diversity of patient population, hospitals and public heath settings the RN should be well prepared to effectively teach patients from all walks of life ie., education, age, culture, religion, etcetera (Crosby, 1977). This essay will go over Bloom’s taxonomy of education and its use in nursing education, the applications of the nursing research conducted on nursing education and will touch on the three domains outlined in Bloom’s taxonomy. In 1956 Benjamin Bloom along with educators from the University of Chicago developed Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives. There are three domains in Blooms taxonomy: cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Cognitive : In the cognitive domain learners , which for the purpose of this paper would be a patient, patients would be expected to retrieve information from long-term memory such as knowing what medications are used for and what the side effects might be for that specific medication. After being taught, patients would be expected to be able to verbalize the meaning of oral , graphic or written information; such as being able to verbalize how to recognize the signs and symptoms...

MCCARTHY QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY HAMDEN, CONNECTICUT SANDRA PIRES BOWLING GREEN UNIVERSITY BOWLING GREEN, OHIO ABSTRACT. Universities have rushed to expand their delivery of courses through ABSTRACT. e-learning environments. But is e-learning effective? The authors conducted an exploratory study to evaluate e-learning through WebCT on the basis of Bloom’s taxonomy. The authors distributed 75 questionnaires to investigate whether individual or instructional factors play an important role in learning when using WebCT. On the basis of analysis of surveys from undergraduate students at a medium-sized university in the southeastern region of the United States, the authors determined that individual and instructional factors do not play a major role in the learning process. Keywords: Bloom’s taxonomy, e-learning, WebCT Copyright © 2009 Heldref Publications worldwide drastic change occurred in the educational system at the end of the 20th century. Various institutions have tried to bring change to the educational system and to bolster student accomplishments by focusing on schools, teachers, and students responsible for academic learning and achievement (Rothman, 1995).

...Bloom’s Research and Response Bolanle Oladele NUR/427 Bloom’s taxonomy is framework for understanding the way students learn. This taxonomy is one of the most widely used taxonomies in the field of education, and it is also one of the easiest taxonomies to understand. Although Bloom’s taxonomy was developed in the 1950’s before students began using computers on a regular basis, it is relevant for online learning today. One of the basic questions facing educators has always been “where do we begin in seeking to improve human thinking? Fortunately, we do not have to begin from the scratch in searching for answers to this complicated questions (Forehand, 2012). Discussions during the 1948 Convention of the American Psychological Association led Bloom to spearhead a group of educators who eventually undertook the ambitious task of classifying educational goals and objectives. Their intent was to develop a method of classification for thinking behaviors that were believed to be important in the process of learning. Eventually, this framework became a taxonomy of three domains: the cognitive; knowledge based domain, the affective; attitudinal based domain, and the psychomotor; skills based domain (Forehand, 2012). The applications of the research conducted have been helpful to Nursing Education because it helps to improve patient outcomes. According to Su & Osisek (2011), one of the essential goals for continuing education...

...Bloom's Research and Response NUR/427 January 20, 2015 Trecia D. Jones, MSN, RN, CNL Bloom's Research and Response According to Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning Domains, learning is divided into three main domains: cognitive is the thinking domain, affective is the emotion and feeling domain, and psychomotor is the physical and kinesthetic domain. Included in each domain is a taxonomy or classification. The taxonomies proceed from the simplest to most complex levels of the domain. The Cognitive Domain The cognitive domain includes content knowledge and the development of intellectual skill. There are six levels in the cognitive domain: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Knowledge is remembering or retrieving previously learned material. Verbs that describe this level of learning include: arrange, define, describe, list, memorize, recognize, and select. Comprehension is the ability to compose meaning from the material. Verbs that describe this level of learning are: explain, record, classify, summarize, and illustrate. Application is the competence to use the learned material or to implement material in new and concrete situations. Verbs used in this level of learning are use, apply, solve, produce, implement, and perform. Analysis is the ability to break down or to distinguish the parts of the material into its components so that its organizational structure is understood. Keywords at this level of learning are as follows: analyze...

...Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education proposed in 1956 by a committee of educators chaired by Benjamin who also edited the first volume of the standard text, Taxonomy of educational objectives: the classification of educational goals[1] (referred to as simply "the Handbook" below). Although named for Bloom, the publication followed a series of conferences from 1949 to 1953, which were designed to improve communication between educators on the design of curricula and examinations.[2] [3] It refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students (learning objectives). Bloom's Taxonomy divides educational objectives into three "domains": Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor (sometimes loosely described as knowing/head, feeling/heart and doing/hands respectively). Within the domains, learning at the higher levels is dependent on having attained prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower levels.[4] A goal of Bloom's Taxonomy is to motivate educators to focus on all three domains, creating a more holistic form of education.[1] A revised version of the taxonomy was created in 2000.[5] [6] [7] Bloom's Taxonomy is considered to be a foundational and essential element within the education community as evidenced in the 1981 survey significant writings that have influenced the curriculum: 1906-1981, by H.G.

...estoin Asking the “Good Question” Abstract Research seems to indicate that the degree to which an online facilitator is involved—or not involved—in online discussions is dependent on a number of variables (Dysthe, 346). This paper suggests a way in which the online facilitator can be involved, a way that nudges participants into deeper levels of cognitive understanding. The premise behind this paper is that dialogue generated by good questions, based on Bloom’s taxonomy of cognitive competencies, supports learning (Elder and Paul). In this case, the goal of the online facilitator is to help the participant move to both deeper and higher levels of cognitive understanding of the material by asking the “good question” that prompts both individual reflection and dialogue with the participant and among participants. This paper outlines a step-by-step approach to this end. **************************** Facilitators play an important role in the online learning environment. They put a personalized touch to the participants’ experience from the moment they greet them at course entry until the final congratulatory email. They support a safe place for learning by modeling appropriate online behavior in their postings. And, most importantly, they facilitate the online discussion forums by helping the participant explore the learning more deeply. The discussion method has been a widely used learning technique in both face-to-face and virtual classrooms. Discussion...

...Using Technology to Support Literacy in a Preschool Classroom CIEC 6180 Esmeralda Torres Introduction What is literacy? Literacy is defined simply as the ability to read and write. This is taught in all classrooms in many different ways from reading books to writing summaries of books. Literacy though, can be taught through technology as well. In today’s world, technology continues to grow at a rapid pace and has therefore opened many opportunities for teaching and learning. Connecting students with digital literacy will allow teachers to support their students’ literacy growth. It is not just about the pencil and paper anymore. When we think about technology we immediately envision a computer, a tablet, or a smartphone but technology is not just those things. Televisions and radios are technology as well and can be used to support children’s literacy development in different ways. There are many different methods and programs that allow us to target all types of students therefore teachers should embrace technology and its many educational uses. This paper will look at how different types of technology can be used to support literacy in a preschool classroom. Why use technology? Using technology in our classrooms will actually help motivate students into learning. The excitement the students get when a laptop or tablet is pulled out is what begins that motivation. Even those children that were not paying attention are suddenly paying attention all because...
