  • We design backward from human knowledge, in other words, and we sequence knowledge in ways that suit the learner’s prior and current knowledge. What else could a curriculum be?
  • Well, this works fine if the present is just like the past; if ideas turn into competent action automatically; and if theory, not effects, matters most.
  • suppose today’s content knowledge is an offshoot of successful ongoing learning in a changing world – in which ‘learning’ means ‘learning to perform in the world.’

  • learning in a changing world – in which ‘learning’ means ‘
  • knowledge is the growing (and ever-changing) residue of the main activity of trying to perform well for real.
  • The point is to do new things with content, not simply know what others know
  • the point of learning is not just to know things but to be a different person
  • but I learn based on the attempts to perform and feedback from trying
  • Conventional views of curriculum and instruction have no good explanation for it.
  • What is the aim of any curriculum?
  • In games (and in life), I begin with performance challenges, not technical knowledge. I receive no upfront teaching
  • Knowledge is an indicator of educational success, not the aim. Thus, the conventional view of curriculum and the process of conventional curriculum writing must be wrong:

    It's certainly a challenge to engage today's students. Learning theory shows that one of the keys to successful learning is engagement. Using Philip Schlechty's "Qualities the Affect Engagement" as a framework, Tony Vincent outlines 21 technology tools, strategies, and tips educators can use to increase authentic engagement. Learn ways to motivate learners using online tools that are freely available. Examples include polling students, illustrating concepts with crazy cartoons, creating jazzy slide shows, and touring some of the newest coolest sites the web has to offer.

    This presentation discusses a series of  financial lab exercises that demonstrate to students that finance theory has real value in  the business world, thus linking "abstract" course content to the real world. The  exercises align with Bloom's Taxonomy, starting with acquisition of knowledge goals and  moving toward the development of higher level critical thinking goals.

Bloom's Taxonomy - Emerging Perspectives on Learning, Teaching and Technology - 0 views

  • As an educator I find it interesting to teach and learn. I like to ask questions as a roadmap to my teaching experience. You did a fine job with the introduction for that. Yet, I would want a little more information in the introduction. This site is a wonderful Cliff Notes to Bloom’s Taxonomy. The reference page is most helpful. However, I would also add a booklist for your reader. You only had one picture of the theory. I would challenge you to include more pictures and graphs for your reader. It just make things fun for us to see and feel. What about links to other sites so we can enhance our education in the learning process.
