The Power of Bloom's Taxonomy and the Study Cycle Flashcards
What is the main purpose of Bloom’s Taxonomy?
To categorize learning levels from shallow to deep understanding.
What is the key difference between studying and learning?
Studying focuses on memorizing facts (the “whats”), while learning emphasizes understanding concepts (the “hows” and “whys”).
Why is learning more effective than studying?
Learning allows you to recreate information if forgotten, while studying only helps with recall.
What is an effective way to deepen learning?
Teaching the material to someone else.
What are the six levels of revised Bloom’s Taxonomy?
Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, Creating.
What is the purpose of the Study Cycle?
To reinforce learning through structured steps: preview, attend class, review, intense study sessions, assess.
Why are breaks important during intense study sessions?
They enhance memory formation and learning through wakeful rest or short naps.
What activities during wakeful rest improve learning?
Daydreaming and reflective thinking.
What is the optimal nap duration for memory retention?
20-30 minutes
What strategy helps move information to higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy?
Considering topics from multiple perspectives and applying them in different contexts.
