Bloom’s Taxonomy (Session 2)

A collaborative effort of the ELC Research and Consultancy Committee and Professional Development Committee of Ibri College of Technology was evident on 28.6.2018.  The first workshop of the day was on Bloom’s Taxonomy and was second in series.  It began at 09.00 am in room no 2031/2032, with a quick recap of the previous session on Bloom’s Taxonomy. This helped the audience to quickly relate to the second session. 

The significance of effective implementation of Bloom’s Taxonomy was emphasised by asking the audience to go through the emails from college administration. The emails added a kind of authenticity to the whole atmosphere and motivated participants to reflect on various aspects of Bloom’s Taxonomy. The focus of the workshop was on the third and the fourth cognitive levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy. 

Mr Jose Chandapillai dwelled at length on the third cognitive level (applying) of Bloom’s Taxonomy while the fourth cognitive level (analysing) was discussed in detail by Mr Joseph Vadakel. The last two levels too were briefly dealt with in the concluding part of the session. The presenters came up with interesting activities that consolidated the concepts that were introduced during the workshop.

Dr Sultan Al Ghafri, the head of English Language Centre emphasised on the effective use of Bloom’s Taxonomy and acknowledged the efforts of the committee and appreciated the presenters for sharing their expertise with the staff.
