Focusing on what students should know is frequently called the \u201ccognitive\u201d approach, focusing on what students should be able to do the \u201cbehavioral\u201d approach. While most teachers are, by temperament, drawn to one of the two approaches, in practices most teachers often combine the two, perhaps without knowing it.\r\n\r\nLarge-scale learning objectives will be articulated in a teacher\u2019s curriculum guide, but it is up to each individual teacher to formulate learning objectives for individual lesson plans. Teachers must find a way to disaggregate a large-scale learning objective (of the sort found in a curriculum guide) into a number of individual objectives.\r\n\r\nIn the middle of the twentieth century, a committee chaired by Benjamin Bloom created a well-known taxonomy of learning objectives. His learning objectives are built on the following template: VERB [which refers to a particular cognitive process] + OBJECT [which refers to the knowledge students are expected to acquire or construct]. The verbs themselves form a series which moves from relatively low-level cognitive processes like \u201cremembering\u201d toward high-level processes like \u201ccreating. \u201d A low-order learning objective, then, would be formed by joining a verb associated with \u201cremembering\u201d to the content to be acquired: \u201cidentify [VERB] the five major steps of photosynthesis [OBJECT]. \u201d A high-order learning objective, by contrast, would be formed by joining a verb associated with \u201ccreating\u201d to the content to be acquired: \u201cgenerate [VERB] a visual representation of photosynthesis within a plant cell [OBJECT]. \u201d\r\n\r\nAs is evident from the above example, Bloom\u2019s taxonomy includes verbs associated with both the \u201ccognitive\u201d and \u201cbehavioral\u201d approach. The committee Bloom chaired, in fact, created the taxonomy with the aim of designing a more holistic form of education.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>Bloom\u2019s Rose<\/h2>\r\nBloom\u2019s wheel, according to the Bloom\u2019s verbs and matching assessment types.
