Here is the article Melanie mentioned in class last meeting concerning reading aloud to students:

Here is the blog topic for the week:
After reviewing the various topics asked to research, how do you feel Socratic Questions and Literary Circles relate to Bloom's Taxonomy in regards to the Cognitive domain?
Do you feel that Socratic Questioning and/or Literary Circles help to enhance students' abilities in terms of reaching the higher level of Bloom's Taxonomy in regards to the cognitive domain?
Socratic Questioning and Literary Circles relate to Blooms Taxonomy in regards to the Cognitive domain because they all deal with promoting higher order thinking skills or questioning. Both Blooms Taxonomy and Socratic Questioning have the end goal of students using the questioning or questions given to them (without answers) to begin a journey of self understanding of a particular subject or content or advance a discussion by asking even MORE questions. You can use the six level of questioning from Blooms Taxonomy (Knowledge (lowest level) to Evaluation (highest level)) to create different questions that refer to each of levels. This would allow assess a student’s understanding of concepts. Literary Circles are connected to both Blooms Taxonomy and Socratic Questioning. In literature circles, where students and teachers discuss different concepts and read a variety of literature, to discuss different topics, Socratic Questioning using Blooms six levels is well-suited to prompt students to push each other to question deeply and often rethink ideas they once had. For this reason, I believe both Socratic Questioning and Blooms Taxonomy can enhance the Literary Circle experience. I do believe each enhances students’ abilities in regard to being able to one-day reach the higher level of Bloom’s Taxonomy in the cognitive domain.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Frankie, but also pose a question then to both you and Hannah when she responds if you feel that Bloom's Taxonomy's other aspects seem to be linked less or even not at all to the multiple forms of higher-level thinking we have addressed? I ask because upon researching Bloom's Taxonomy I was surprised that there were other aspects of it. I was most familiar with the cognitive domain and assumed that in itself was Bloom's Taxonomy
DeleteI think the other forms are linked less than. I too was surprised when I learned of the other aspects. I think the cognitive domain is the one most talked about and that is why we know the most about that oppose to the other ones.
