At the first class of AICLE (CLIL), we have focused on aspects of general didactics, that will be useful to develop CLIL activities. In particular, we have payed attention on some aspects of Bloom´s taxonomy. But, What is Bloom´s taxonomy?
Bloom´s Taxonomy was created in 1956 under the leadership of educational psychologist Dr Benjamin Bloom in order to promote higher forms of thinking in education, such as analyzing and evaluating, rather than just remembering facts. The committee identified three domains of educational activities or learning:
- Cognitive: involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills.
- Affective: includes the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, motivations or attitudes.
- Psychomotor: is related with manual or physical skills.
Each domain is subdivided into several hierarchical categories ranging from the simplest aspects to the most complex:
The committee produced an elaborated compilation for the cognitive and affective domains, however, they omitted the psychomotor domain. For CLIL methodology, it is important to know the cognitive domain.
