What is the opinion of scientists in areas like psychology and education on this theory? Is it used in modern education practice? -- Beland 21:52, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are entire systems of teaching based on the taxonomy. I'm just an undergrad education student, but it's pretty clear that the taxonomy is almost ubiquitous in the field, taken as a given by many professionals. For example, we are often required to write lesson plans addressing Bloom's three domains. I'll try to find some documentation beyond my own experience. Fishal 20:08, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I thought this web page does a good job on the topic. Could help on expansion [1]

I am not scientist, psycologist, or even an education theorist, just a teacher at the elementary level, but I can answer that it is ubiquitous not just at university and secondary-level but at the elementary level. The state of California has based most of their testing questions for students on the analysis, synthesis, and evaluation level.

I'm curious about whether these levels were based on scientific study, and how the study was structured, or if it was merely based on observation, etc.

Bloom's Verbs

As a teacher in California, I use Bloom's all the time. Some of the most useful Bloom's resources are lists of verbs that go with the various cognitive domains. Adding some of those or external links to sites that list those would be nice.

I think that a Needs Expansion tag would be more appropriate. Fishal 02:10, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
