11 WEEK-Bloom Information processing
For Amy, Seoyoon and Kimberly Three questions are below 1) what types of basic processes can you see in the dimensions of thinking? 2) Describe the six level of Bloom's REVISED Taxonomy of the cognitive domain. 3) Make your own one example activity( or questions) for each level. Discussion Q) How can teachers establish a setting that lead to students' creative thought?

ReplyDelete1) Types of thinking process are various such as recall, comprehension, evaluation, analyzing, applying, creating, etc. When we examining the models that describe the dimensions of thinking, basic processes -as the tools - are observing, finding patterns and generalizing, forming conclusions based on observations and assessing conclusions based on observations.
2) Moving from the least to the most complex, remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create.
3) ‘Remember’: what kind of house did the second pig make in the story of ‘the three little pigs’?
‘Understand’: summarize the story.
‘Apply’: if you were a one of the pigs, what would you make your house with?
‘Analyze’: what could you learn this story?
‘evaluate’: do you think it is right that three little pigs was trying to expel the wolf under assumption of that every wolf must be mean?
‘create’: retell the story as three little wolves and a really mean pig.
DQ: I think using useful models like Bloom’s taxonomy could help teachers. The models provide various applications of hierarchy of thinking system and appropriate questions according to the categories of thinking system.
As a SU:
Thinking, as a process that an individual human uses to function in that world, has a representational system could illustrate the diversity of patterns in human thinking, which result in different degrees of success in learning with emotion. In an effort to describe the dimensions of thinking and the level of complexity of human thought, cognitive psychologists have been designing models. The model is only as good as its potential for achieving a desired goal, encouraging the higher-order thinking in students and teachers feel sufficiently easily to use. Models generally include two categories, convergent and divergent. In school, most of the part still demands convergent thinking that is the lower levels of complexity. Through the modeling thinking skills help this out, of all the current models available, Bloom’s taxonomy could upgrade the quality of teacher instruction and student learning, especially slower learners to higher levels of thinking. Bloom’s taxonomy originally contained six levels, which are knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation in an order of complexity. Bloom’s taxonomy is revised, moving from the least to the most complex, remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate and create. ‘Remember’ refers to the mere rote recall and recognition of previously learned material, ‘understand’ describes the ability to make sense of material for the future use and ‘apply’ refers to the ability to use learned material in new situations with minimum of direction as the high level of convergent thinking. ‘analyze’, the next level of complexity, is the ability to break material into its component parts so that its structure may b understood, ‘evaluate’ is as a high level of cognitive thought dealing with the ability to judge the value of material based on specific criteria and standards and ‘create’ refers to the ability to put parts together to form a plan that is new to the learner. In this level, Learners use divergent thinking to get metacognition which is ‘Aha!’ experience.
1) Observing, Finding patterns and generalizing, Forming conclusions based on patterns and Assessing conclusions based on observations.
ReplyDelete2) Create : Ability to put parts together to form a plan that is new to the learner.
Evaluate: Ability to judge the value of material based on specific criteria and standards.
Analyze: Ability to break material into parts so that its structure may be understood. It contains identifying parts, examining the relationships of the parts to each other and to the world and recognizing the organizational principles involved.
Apply: Ability to use learned material in new situations with a minimum of direction.
Understand: Ability to make sense of the material.
Remember: Recollect and recognition of previously learned material,from specific facts to a definition or a complete theory.
3) I will choose one book that is very famous among lerners and let learners read it in class or for homework. then I will do a activitiy follwoing level.
Remember Level:
What story about is and tell us(to classmates) in your own words.
Understand Level:
Summarize the story and learners' opinion(feeling) about the book in 2 paragraphs.
Apply Level:
Tell to classmates about new sentences that is made with some vocabularies and phrases from the book.
Analyze Level:
Discuss what points of this book make it be famous.
Evaluate Level:
Which character in the book do you like most? Why?
Create Level:
Write a letter to one of chracters in the book. ( Learners writes it focusing on "If I were you...".)
DQ:
I think that teachers lead to students' creative thought through classroom's emotional climate and higher-order thinking. In my experiences, classroom's emotional climate is more important than the other. Creative thought come from comfortable, positive environments such as teacher's compliments and attention to students. If teacher could establish classroom's emotional climate well, they also easily approach some activities and materials related to higher-order thinking.
As I am HL of this topic,
ReplyDelete1)Higher-order thinking
:One dimension of thinking. It requires logic and multiple intelligence to reach answers.Teacher should encourage higher-order thinking to students in class.
2)Metacognition
:One's own thinking process.Monitoring progress and making appropriate changes happen simultaneously.
3)Creat
:One of levels of Bloom's Taxonomy that was revised in 2001.It is an ability to put parts together to form a plan that is new to the learner.This level stresses "CREATIVITIY" and is top level of complexity.
4)Thinking skills
:This is a word for students who need to practice and learn it in classroom. Teachers should establish a setting that is conducive to creative and critical thoughts. Students will be accustomed to thinking skills when teachers exhibit genuine interest and commitment to learning, are willing to admit mistakes,allow students to participate all learning and assessment.
5)Critical thinking
:A complex process that is based on objective standards and consistency.It contains making judgments using objective criteria and offering opinions with reasons.
6)Creative thinking
:It gets at a whole new concept and idea that is totally different with original ones.
It usually contain four stages such as preparation,incubation,illumination and verification.
7)Evaluation
:This is a concept and top level of Bloom's Taxanomy that presented in 1956.
After revising to new version, it was changed name to "Create" that I mentioned above.(number3)
