EDUC 5210 Unit 4 Discussion

The lesson I will use to implement the lowest and highest levels of a cognitive taxonomy domain
is the activity applied in my class under the distance learning modality.
"Cognitive domain deals with how a student learns, processes, and uses knowledge. It's the
domain of "thinking." (Kasilingman et al., 2014, p.28), the cognitive domain is the core of the
learning domain, so I considered it the most appropriate for being applied to this lesson. They
also explained that "The cognitive domain is well-suited for an online environment of
assessment." (Kasilingman et al., 2014, p.28), and since it is our compulsory model of teaching
right now, that was only another reason for choosing the cognitive taxonomy.

The lesson was "introduction to addition."


Students had dealt with the addition topic in the previous month, so the first step will be to check
the topic's prior understanding. Now, the "Knowledge Level" is the lowest level of cognitive
taxonomy. Students were required to describe what is addition and its process. Note, Anderson
and Krathwohl renamed the lowest taxonomy category; for them, it consisted of "Recognizing or
retrieving knowledge from memory." Remembering is when memory is used to generate or recall
concepts, data, or lists, or for reciting previously learned knowledge." (Anderson and
Krathwohl's Taxonomy 2001 as quoted in Wilson, n.d)

The lesson continued with different activities that introduced the addition process in the number
story till it reached the end of the lesson or the highest level in the cognitive taxonomy,
Evaluation. It is defined in Kasilingman et al. (2014), as "Making critical judgments based on a
sound knowledge base" (p.29) and as "judging the value of information for a particular purpose"
by Seifert and Sutton. (Seifert & Sutton, 2009, p., 220). Nevertheless, in the revision made by
Anderson and Krathwohl, the steps change to verbs, and the last step became creating. "Creating
requires users to put parts together in a new way, or synthesize parts into something new and
different, thus creating a new form or product. This process is the most difficult mental function
in the new taxonomy." (Anderson and Krathwohl's Taxonomy 2001 as cited in Wilson, n.d). The
activity designed for finalizing with this lesson and for implementing creating was to produce a
video where they explained and showed examples of addition concepts in their everyday life.
Bloom's cognitive taxonomy, as explained by Krathwohl, can be used to examine relative
emphasis, curriculum alignment, and missed educational opportunities. Based on this
examination, teachers can decide where and how to improve the curriculum planning and the
delivery of instruction (Krathwohl, 2002).
