BLOOMS TAXONOMY

BLOOMS TAXONOMY

Taxonomy” simply means “classification”, so the well-known taxonomy of learning objectives is an attempt (within the behavioural paradigm) to classify forms and levels of learning. It identifies three “domains” of learning (each of which is organized as a series of levels or pre-requisites. It is suggested that one cannot effectively — or ought not try to — address higher levels until those below them have been covered

LEARNING

“Friends are helpful not only because they will listen to us, but because they will laugh at us; Through them we learn a little objectivity, a little modesty, a little courtesy; We learn the rules of life and become better players of the game

Everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching.

CONCLUSION

Positive attitude is a great asset in life. We throw many curve balls in life and especially in the teaching profession. A positive attitude will help us cope with these in the best way.A sense of humor can help us become a successful teacher as teaching is fun.
