...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. Shane and the 1994 yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education. 1. 2. ^ a b c d Bloom...

...Bloom's Taxonomy of Education and its effect on Nursing Education "Bloom's Taxonomy has long been the standard framework among clinical nurse educators and staff development coordinators for designing learning experiences or, at the least, has provided general guidance in development of objectives" (Horton, 2007). Bloom’s Taxonomy of educational objectives was developed by Benjamin Bloom in 1956 as a means to classify learning objectives and create learning tools for testing. There are three domains each containing subcategories that make up Bloom’s taxonomy. They are the cognitive domain, the affective domain, and psychomotor domain. Anderson and Krathwokl revised Bloom's taxonomy in 2001. While Bloom's Taxonomy has been a guideline to teach nurses, it can also be utilized as a guide for providing patient education. Each level of taxonomy builds upon the next requiring the learner to achieve a satisfactory level of each before moving forward to the next phase (Horton, 2007). A learner can be in more than one domain at a time as some levels overlap within the respective domain. Each domain and level will be discussed with examples of patient education for diabetes as an example. The cognitive domain includes six categories: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. When a patient presents with a chronic illness, it has a huge impact on the patient and family. As teaching begins, the patient is given information that they are expected to remember for the...

...Bloom Taxonomy for Smart Homes All parents need their young ones to utilize critical thinking strategies. Bloom's Taxonomy has fulfilled this need. Parents can create and reinforce their young one's reasoning abilities at home. Blossom's Taxonomy is named after Benjamin Bloom, an analyst who in 1956 added to the arrangement of addressing as indicated by six levels of larger amount considering. Most if not all instructors are taught to utilize Bloom's Taxonomy in planning lesson targets for their understudies. On the other hand, most smart homes have not been taught how to utilize Bloom's Taxonomy in conversing with their youngsters. In the event that it is useful for school setups, it is clearly also useful for smart homes (Anderson, 2009). "Smart Home" is the term regularly used to characterize a home that has machines, lighting, warming, aerating and cooling, TVs, PCs, amusement sound and video frameworks, security, and camera frameworks that are fit for corresponding with each other and can be controlled remotely by a period plan, from any room in the home, and additionally remotely from any area on the planet by telephone or web (Miller, 2015). Consequently, Bloom taxonomy can easily be intergrated in a smart home setup through the use of the various devices that are available.

...A risk taxonomy is a comprehensive, common and stable set of risk categories that is used within an organization. By providing a comprehensive set of risk categories, it encourages those involved in risk identification to consider all types of risks that could affect the organization's objectives. By providing a common set of risk categories, it facilitates the aggregation of risks from across the organization. By providing a stable set of risk categories, it facilitates comparative analysis of an organization's risks over time. This document includes considerations for departments and agencies with respect to developing and using a risk taxonomy. It outlines an approach to categorizing and aggregating risks that may be tailored to the specific needs of an organization. It should be noted that a risk taxonomy is not a mandatory component of an integrated risk management approach. However, using a risk taxonomy can help to strengthen and better integrate an organization's risk management approach, given the benefits outlined above. 1.1 Developing a Risk Taxonomy Developing a risk taxonomy requires establishing a set of risk categories. The categories should be sufficiently generic that they can be used to aggregate risks from various parts of the organization. Examples of potential risk categories are found in section 2. Departments and agencies may tailor this list to their needs. For example, an organization may want to tailor the categories to better reflect its mandate...

Produce a taxonomy using the TDH notation of these objects. Does it obey the TAKD uniqueness rule? Compare your answer with someone else's. (Note: the authors had great difficulty with items like the corkscrew, which did not fit easily into any generic category - perhaps you did better.) answer As the authors had already produced a partial taxonomy, we interviewed two domain experts (cooks). They were asked to describe how they would group and classify the kitchen items. They were explicitly told (and reminded) that they could have multiple classifications and put the same item into several categories. The authors then cast their answers into TDH notation. One of the subjects was a doctor and used to medical taxonomies of disease. Despite stressing the looseness of the classifications, he insisted on a complete taxonomic tree (Figure Ex15.1.1). kitchen object XOR |__ preparation XOR | |__ pre-preparation XOR | | |__ opening | | | tin opener, cork screw | | |__ measuring | | scales, (measuring) jug | |__ 'proper' preparation XOR | |__ active | | rolling pin,...

...The flowers are produced in panicles 6–13 cm long containing a few to numerous flowers; flowering is from February to May in the Philippines, Borneo and the Malay peninsula. They are slightly fragrant and have yellow or orange-yellow petals. The fruit is a semi orbicular pod 2–3 cm diameter, surrounded by a flat 4–6 cm diameter membraneous wing (wing-like structure) which aids dispersal by the wind. It contains one or two seeds, and does not split open at maturity; it ripens within 4–6 years, and becomes purple when dry. The central part of the pod can be smooth (f.indica), bristly (f. echinatus (Pers.) Rojo) or intermediate The termites are a group of eusocial insects usually classified at the taxonomic rank of order Isoptera (but see also taxonomy below). Along with ants and some bees and wasps which are all placed in the separate order Hymenoptera, termites divide labor among gender lines, produce overlapping generations and take care of young collectively. Termites mostly feed on dead plant material, generally in the form of wood, leaf litter, soil, or animal dung, and about 10% of the estimated 4,000 species (about 2,600 taxonomically known) are economically significant as pests that can cause serious structural damage to buildings, crops or plantation forests. Termites are major detritivores, particularly in the subtropical. and tropical...

...Evaluation Statement: Identify how accurate using the distance formula is in relation to traveling by car or by any other type of transportation. How would you suggest it be tweaked so that it could be more accurate? Higher Order Thinking and Diverse Learners Reflection As teachers we need to do more than just stand in front of a classroom and dictate out of our books how add and subtract numbers or tell the difference between a noun and a verb; we need to insist on our students to look further into why 2+2=4. Higher order thinking is defined as a classification of thinking based on Bloom's Taxonomy of Thinking Skills. This type of thinking goes beyond simple recall of information. It is characterized by the use of information via comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation (21st Century Information Fluency, 2011). The unit plan that I have developed follows Bloom’s Taxonomy of Thinking Skills in that it causes my students to look further in to how and why we use the distance formula.

...Introduction to Systematics Worksheet Learning Goal: To learn how biologists classify species based on their evolutionary relationships. Prerequisite Knowledge: Before beginning this lab, you should be familiar with these concepts: • why biologists today use the three-domain system of classification • how evolutionary trees depict biologists’ understandings about the evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms Introduction: Almost every place on Earth, from the surface of your skin to the bottom of the ocean, is teeming with living things. To keep track of the vast diversity of life, biologists historically named and classified organisms according to their appearance. The system of categorizing organisms is known as taxonomy. Today, scientists classify organisms into taxonomic groups (taxa) according to their evolutionary history. This discipline is known as systematics. The Virtual Systematics Lab features a collection of pictures and descriptions of diverse species that represent major evolutionary pathways. In the Systematics Lab, you can explore five different taxonomic classification schemes that biologists have used--from the traditional Linnaean scheme to the current three-domain system. In this activity, you will learn how to use the Virtual Systematics Lab to identify the characteristics that various organisms share and to determine the relatedness of different taxa.

...Q1: Describe the four types of scales? Ans1: A scale is a tool or mechanisms by which individuals are distinguished as to how they differ from one another on the variables of interest to our study. There are four basic types of scales: nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio. Nominal scale: A nominal scale is one that allows the researcher to assign subject to certain categories or groups. For example, with respect to the variable of gender respondents can be grouped into two categories male and female. These two groups can be assigned code number 1 and 2. These numbers serves as simple and convenient category labels with no intrinsic values, other then to assign respondents to one of two non overlapping, or mutually exclusive categories. In other words there is no third category into which respondents would normally fall. Thus, nominal scale categorizes individuals or objects into mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive groups. Ordinal scale: An ordinal scale not only categorizes the variable in such a way as to denote differences among the various categorize, it also rank orders the categorise in some meaningful way. With any variable for which the categorise are to be ordered, according to some preference, the ordinal scale would be used. For example respondents might be asked to indicate there preferences by ranking the importance they attach to five distinct characteristics in a job that the researcher might be interested in studying. Interval: An interval scale...

...1. a. Panthera Leo, The full classification for a lion would be: Kingdom, Animalia; Phylum, Chordata; Class, Mammalia; Order, Carnivora; Family, Felidae; Genus, Panthera; Species, leo b. I found quite a lot of clashing information on this subject, some said Adam named the lion before time was even being recorded, and other said the Egyptians named the lion, but I could not find any reliable sources for this. As for the meaning, Panthera Leo: “large gregarious predatory feline of Africa and India having a tawny coat with a shaggy mane in the male” c. leopards, cougars, panthers, ocelots, and anything feline basically d. My scientific name would honestly be the same as it is now, if I was the one to name it I would probably think of something different at the time. But I have been associating leo with lion too long to think of any other name that doesn’t sound ridiculous. 2. a. Panthera Tigris, The full classification for a tiger would be: Kingdom, Animalia; Phylum, Chordata; Class, Mammalia; Order, Carnivora; Family, Felidae; Genus, Panthera; Species, leo b. Once again, I had a lot of trouble finding anything about who named the tiger. All I really got was that it was named in Asia. As for the meaning of the Tiger’s scientific name: Panthera Tigris – “large feline of forests in most of Asia having a tawny coat with black stripes; endangered” c.
