Chapter 5 focuses on different types of hierarchies that have been used to explain and organize the different steps students go through to learn material. The chapter discuss 3 different hierarchies; Cognitive, Affective Domain, and Psychomotor Domain. From what I have learned in other classes prior to this one cognitive domain, created by Bloom, is the most well known domain hierarchy. Blooms taxonomy consists of six stages ranging from Knowledge being the lowest where students recognize and recall information to Evaluation where students offer opinions and make judgments based on values. The other categories are Comprehension, Application, Analysis, and Synthesis. The reason I feel so strongly that cognitive domain is the most effective taxonomy is the range of knowledge the students obtain. Being a future social studies teacher I want students to use past knowledge and information that they learn throughout the year to start forming their own ideas and opinions to topics that are discussed. By using Bloom’s Taxonomy I will be able to have guideline for ways to make sure that students start using more complex ways of learning.
