Bloom's Taxonomy

-

The Taxonomy  improves  on the original by adding  a two- dimensional framework into which you may classify learning objectives and assessment items. The two dimensions are the Knowledge Dimension and Cognitive Process Dimension.
The Cognitive Process Dimension is very much like the original Bloom's taxonomy. Its categries are remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. The cognitive processes of synthesis and evaluation from the old taxonomy have switched their older and become evaluate and create in the new taxonomy. This change makes sense, in that evaluation requires making a judgment after analyzing something against criteria hile creating erquires putting together something new.
The Knowledge Dimension has four subcategories: Factual knowledge, Conceptual knowledge, Procedural knowledge, and Metacognitive knowledge.
Now factual knowledge cotains facts in other mening single facts for example: the sun rises from the east  which is the fact, where as conceptual knowledge includes group of facts for example: list the characteristics in the story and who is the main charater, also procedural knowledge it means the steps to achieve, and the metacognitive which is the heighest level of thinking it means thinking about your thinking which is the hardest knowledge.
-Remember factual knowledge: recall the main characters in each of the short stories read and what they did.
Sample assessment item: List the names of all of the characters in "Witch's Forest".
-Understand conceptual knowledge: Explain the main ideas and themes of the short stories that we read.
Sample assessment item: Write using your own words what "Witch's Forest" was all about.
-Analyze procedural knowledge: Identify the literary devices that authors use to convey their characters' feelings to the reader.
Sample assessment: In :Witch's Forest", Sally was upset with her mother. In "Dog Long Gone", Billy was upset with his brother. What words and phrases did the authors of these 2 stories use to show how upset these characters were? Explain and give examples.

    After being familiar with this taxonomy and using it in my lesson plans, I felt more confident and based my studies on students and the content and their performance.

    Anderson modified the taxonomy combining analysis with synthesis because he considered them complementary. He kept evaluation and came up with creation.Thus, his taxonomy includes: knowledge,comprehension,application,analysis,evaluation and creation.In my opinion,both taxonomies are very close .The question is whether all teachers follow this leveling of thinking or not !?

The Skillful Teacher

-
Teaching is one of the most complex imaginable. Both s teachers oueselves and as students and researchers of teaching, we have been awed by the immensity of the task of understanding teaching. We know that a good teacher is many things, among them a caring person. But  a good teacher is also  a skillful practitioner, meaning adept at certain specifiable, observable actions. Skillful teachers are made, not born. They have learned the skills use, and others can look at what they are doing in the classroom and say what is skillful about it. Some skillful teachers do not have vocabulary or the concept fo describing what they already do. They just "know" what to do and do it effortlessly and naturally intuitively, some might say. This effortlessness is an unconscious, automatic kind of knowing. Skillful teachers are clear about what is to be learned, clear about what achievement means, and clear about what they are going to do to help students attain it. And if one thing doesn

This is a Mathematics Term Exam that done by teacher Hussein Raad for grade nine which around two hours. This exam include two parts, the first part about Algebraic and the second about Geometry and every part has 50 percent. In the algebraic part we have four questions, the first question is about fractions (how to write a fraction in an irreducible form ,in the a natural form and in the form of integer). Where as the second question is about algebraic expressions by giving two polynomials (Expand and reduce, factorize, solve the equation, and rationalize the denominator). Also, in the third question there is an English paragraph that talks about a cake shop sell and the aim of this question is to translateb the given information into a system of two equations with two unknowns, then ask them to solve this system. However, In the fourth question there is a given for square ABCD and then ask about plotting for points and to deduce the nature of the qudrilateral. Now, to the geometr
