...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 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...

...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...

...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.

...and geographic range of high density dinoflagellate blooms. Public health and economic impacts, as well as negative ecological effects of the aquatic environment are increasing the scientific research done on toxic dinoflagellate species. Contaminated bivalves are causing paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) and diarrhetic shellfish poisoning in humans (DSP); with the number of cases increasing steadily in the last 40 years. Toxins released by certain species of the phylum dinoflagellate are the cause of this spreading contamination. Algal bloom locations are dictated by water currents and synaptic weather patterns, and their movement makes it difficult to pinpoint the origin of these blooms. Measuring the level of toxins in shellfish is currently the best way to chart the growing density of these blooms, and to prove the masses of algae are of growing concern. In this review the negative impact dinoflagellate algal blooms are having on aquaculture, human health hazards, and reasons for the increasing frequencies/densities of blooms will be covered; additional information on the shortcomings of incomplete scientific data complied on algal blooms and why scientific research is now being sought after will be reviewed. BACKGROUND Few species of phytoplankton produce toxins, but dinoflagellates have species that release two different types of toxins. Dinoflagellates are forming large aggregations called algal blooms with increasing frequency and density. There are two...

...RESEARCH RESULTS AND IMPLICATIONS Few programs have been implemented as broadly or evaluated as thoroughly over the last four decades in education as those associated with mastery learning. Programs based on mastery learning principles operate today in nations throughout the world and at every level of education. When compared to traditionally taught classes, students in mastery learning classes consistently have been shown to learn better, reach higher levels of achievement, and develop greater confidence in their ability to learn and in themselves as learners (Guskey, 1997, 2001). THE DEVELOPMENT OF MASTERY LEARNING Although the basic tenets of mastery learning can be traced to such early educators as Comenius, Pestalozzi, and Herbart (Bloom, 1974), most modern applications stem from the writings of Benjamin S. Bloom of the University of Chicago. In the mid-1960s Bloom began a series of investigations on the variation that existed in student learning outcomes. He recognized that while Figure 1ILLUSTRATION BY GGS INFORMATION SERVICES. CENGAGE LEARNING, GALE. students vary widely in their learning rates, virtually all learn well when provided with the necessary time and appropriate learning conditions. If teachers could provide the time and more appropriate conditions, Bloom reasoned that nearly all students could reach a high level of learning. To determine how this might be practically achieved, Bloom first considered how teaching and learning take place in typical group-based...

In addition it will address our professional responsibilities are as a Certified Public Accountants (CPA’s) and finally distinguish between a financial audit and a financial review. The Methodology used to Determine Deferred Taxes The accounting for tax liability is governed by the internal revenue service (IRS) code whereas income statement financial reporting is done according the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The taxable income reported to the IRS is based on the cash basis accounting whereas the pre-tax profit reported in the income statement to the stockholders is prepared using the accrual accounting. As a result, there is a difference between the tax liability reported to the IRS and the tax expense reported in the income statement. This causes the book income reported to stockholders to be different from the tax income reported to the IRS. If certain revenues and/or expenses are reported in different years in income statements and on income tax returns, an asset or liability called...

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).

...To what extent is Theory of Mind innate? Critically discuss with reference to genetic, social and cultural evidence. Theory of mind refers to an individual’s ability to understand the mental states of others (Baron-Cohen, 1989b). According to Buttelmann et al. (2008) over the years; psychological practice has seen an increase in research, debating whether theory of mind is innate. This apparent increase stems from controversial standard false-belief tasks and its influence on a person’s ability to have an operative theory of mind (Chandler, Fritz & Hala 1989). The connotations of these standard false-belief tasks act as an indicator for specific age boundaries, in which children are meant to start attributing mental states to others, through their understanding of false belief (Perner and Ruffman, 2005; Fodor, 1992; Mitchell,1996). The implications of these standard false-belief tasks will steer this discussion to focus on the extent at which theory of mind can be considered as innate with reference to genetic, social and cultural evidence. According to Whiten, (1993 pg. 3) “a theory of mind remains one of the quintessential abilities that makes us human” .Yet prior to Baron-Cohen’s (1989a) study, the traditional view held by most child developmental psychologists, (Piaget, 1983) was based on the idea that, any understanding of what goes on in another person’s mind has to be a calculated and difficult thing (Appleton and Reddy, 1996). Hence, in order to work...
