LESSON PLANNING

Bloom’s Taxonomy
 LEARNING OBJECTIVES V/S LEARNING
OUTCOMES

• Learning Objectives : An intent communicated by a statement

describing a proposed change in a learner.

• Learning outcome: describe the intended outcome . The outcome

states a change in behavior or performance seen in learner after
achieving the objective.
 COMPONENTS OF LEARNING OBJECTIVE

• Performance : What the learner will know or be able to do . The statement should
contain an action verb.
• E.g. student will be able to define ……./ differentiate/ categorise …..etc.

• Condition : Situation, Setting, Restriction etc.

• Criteria :Required level of performance in terms of accuracy and degree of excellence

 CHARACTERISTIC OF A GOOD LEARNING
OUTCOME

• A learning outcome must be S.M.A.R.T.

• S Specific – says what the learner will be able to do
• M Measurable- can be observed by the end of lesson
• A Attainable – must be achieved in a given time
• R Relevant- to the learner
• T Time Bound – in a given time frame
•
 BLOOM’S TAXONOMY

• It is a classification of the different outcomes and skills that educators set

for their students (learning outcomes).
• The taxonomy was proposed in 1956 by Benjamin Bloom, an educational
psychologist at the university of Chicago.
• The terminology has been recently updated to include the following six
levels of learning. These 6 levels can be used to structure the learning
outcomes, lessons, and assessments. :
1. Remembering: retrieving, recognizing, and recalling relevant knowledge from
long‐term memory.
2. Understanding: constructing meaning from oral, written, and graphic
messages through interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing,
inferring, comparing, and explaining.
3. Applying: carrying out or using a procedure for executing, or implementing.
4. Analyzing: 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.
5. Evaluating: making judgments based on criteria and standards through
checking and critiquing.
6. Creating: putting elements together to form a coherent or functional
whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through
generating, planning, or producing.
