LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND BLOOM'S TAXONOMY

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES: The key outcomes that learners are supposed to accomplish by the end of a course that include a framework of the different ways learners will be able to show mastery of the content given. 

Examples:

 

  • Army service members need to know how to request tuition assistance for their classes through a portal called ArmyIgnitED. 

  • ​The Army service member will submit the tuition assistance request and ensure it is auto-approved for course funding to be activated. 


LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Key areas that represent the learning outcomes but are broken down into manageable chunks that are split into modules for learners to work on weekly. 

Examples:

 

  • The Army service member will create separate tuition assistance requests for each course by adding each course individually to prevent funding issues. 

  • The Army service member will verify their school information such as school ID, if they are in a deployed location and campus to determine their tuition rate. 

BLOOM'S TAXONOMY 

Bloom's taxonomy structures cognitive abilities and educational goals that are tiered based on critical thinking reasoning. 

​

Each level focuses on a different specialization:

​

  • Remembering: The beginning level which focuses on retrieving information. The information can vary from important dates, basic terms or general ideas. 

  • Understanding: Learners show their knowledge of information given by being able to summarize the content. 

  • Applying: Learners will be able to apply the knowledge acquired to solve real-world situations. 

  • Analyzing: Learners will be able to use their reasoning skills to dissect the information given and make sense of it. 

  • Evaluating: Learners are able to develop and state their thoughts based on the standards given.

  • Creating: The highest level where learners are able to create their own version of a topic based on what they have learned.
