Benjamin Bloom's Taxonomy
Cognitive Domain
The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills (Bloom, 1956).
Former students of Bloom revised the cognitive domain in the nineties.
1. They change all the categories to verb forms.
2. Rearranging the categories
This revised version reflects a more active way of thinking and might be even more accurate.
Psychomotor
The psychomotor domain (Simpson, 1972) includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas.
Affective
This domain includes how we deal with things emotionally, for example, feeling, values, appreciation, enthusiasm, motivation and attitudes.
How can learning be made effective thru the use of digital media?
1. Cost effective
Most e-learning sites are low cost, and some are even free! For example W3School, I used this site during my poly year, especially during my programming modules. W3School has web programming tutorials such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, and JQuery where anyone can try it themselves.2. E-learning is Fast!
In W3School, there are tutorials, references and examples that show the audience how the codes work before they put it on their website. There is an online editor provided whereby readers can edit the examples, execute the code experimentally, and preview their coding results. Also, there is an HTML color picker for those who need to refer to the color codes. Besides, they have created a forum page for users to discuss and share about programming stuff with each other.How will the future digital classroom look like?
Students that go to school today have a lot of heavy loads. For example, Textbooks and notes
Laptop. With a heavy load, we might also forget to bring some books or notes or even bring the wrong one. Also, there might be technological vulnerabilities/disadvantages like, Poor Internet connection, Laptop malfunction, Relying on electronic signboard for classes. With a weak internet connection, we are unable to submit assignments, cannot access resources. And if our laptop malfunction, we are unable to access our work or even take a test.
Wow, didn't really read much into the other two domains of Bloom's model, this is really useful for 14th Dec I guess hahaha! Another point to note will also be how learning in the virtual world can be more interactive than the traditional way of teaching students! With videos, animated examples, or maybe... GIFs! :)
