Aligning Objectives with Engaging Activities6

Bloom’s Levels

• Retrieving, recognizing, and recalling relevant knowledge from memory

Remembering

• Constructing meaning from oral, written, and graphic messages through interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, and explaining

Understanding

• Carrying out or using a procedure through executing, or implementing

Bloom’s Levels

• Breaking material into constituent parts, determining how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure or purpose through differentiating, organizing, and attributing

Analyzing

• Making judgments based on criteria and standards through checking and critiquing

Evaluating

• Putting elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning, or producing

ChallengeGood PoorOpportunity to apply new information to meaningful and interesting problems

Traditional questioning methods (multiple choice, T/F, matching) outside of an applied setting

Increasing degree of processes and/or performance

Only provides single-step performance or separates processes

Includes an element of risk and provides remediation

Little or no risk and either reveals the answer or provides no remediation

choice, none of the above, all of the above, etc)

Provides opportunities to explore alternatives and make/correct mistakes

Only one chance to answer

Requires justification before feedback
