Instructional Design Model
➢ An instructional model serves as an anchor wherein the journey to learning
is rooted. There are various instructional designs created to keep track of
the efficiency of the instructions. Through different models of instructions,
teachers were able to draw some inspirations on the different techniques
and strategies patterned on the models of instructions.
Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy
➢ It is a hierarchical ordering of cognitive skills used to categorize learning
objectives into varying levels of complexity. It can be used to create assessments,
plan lessons, evaluate the complexity of assignments, self-assessment.
➢ Bloom’s Taxonomy was created by Benjamin Bloom in 1956 and later revised in
year 2001, a group of cognitive psychologists, curriculum theorists, instructional
researchers, and testing specialists revised the category names of Bloom’s
Taxonomy from nouns to verbs.
Benjamin Bloom (1913 - 1999)
He was an educational psychologist who studied the
development of talent, achievement, and learning. His work
remains some of the most influential in educational theory and
the psychology of teaching and learning. In 1956, as a result of
a discussions with colleagues in the American Psychological
Association, he edited the first volume of Taxonomy of
educational objectives: the classification of educational
goals in which he outlined the hierarchical levels of learning
which became known as Bloom's Taxonomy.
