Bloom’s original taxonomy was a framework created for educators to limit time preparing lessons by offering assistance in curriculum objectives and the creation of the assessment activities. The original framework also serves as a measurement guide to evaluate items in lesson creation. Bloom’s original taxonomy was the main tool used to create activities for individualized needs of students (Scott, 2014) and an easier tool to understand and offer activities simple to complex for educators for differentiation (Noble, 2004). Common educational language, determination of coursework, and evaluation of curriculum were the goals of the original Bloom’s taxonomy (Krathwohl, 2002).
Bloom’s original taxonomy focused primarily on differentiating common goals with the use of varied activities that would meet the individuals’ needs. The revision of Bloom’s taxonomy by Krathwohl (2002) focused on the cognitive processes as learners are made aware of their learning through metacognition. …show more content…

Educators are able to use modification specified in the framework to create appropriate rigor needed for gifted learners. Educators can also differentiate the activities for gifted learners using flexibility, changes to complexity, and pace as stated in the framework. According to Programming Standard 1.1.1, gifted learners need time to reflect on their interests and strengths with support. The Cognitive Knowledge Taxonomy allows gifted learners time to explore their metacognitive knowledge and think about their thinking. Development of activities that encourages the use of variety of sources is a focal point of the NC AIG standards. Through the use of the Cognitive Knowledge Taxonomy, opportunities are allowed to modify the process of teaching and learning in the environment to meet the needs of diverse

  • Intelligence Test and Gifted Requirements

    1371 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Gifted program exists to provide more academic opportunities for those who qualify as “gifted.” “’Gifted means performing or demonstrating the potential for performing at significantly higher levels of accomplishment in one or more academic fields due to intellectual ability, when compared to others of similar age, experience, and environment’” (Quoted in “Gifted”). In order to make it into the program the student must show higher intellectual ability than the average student at his or her age, but what determines that factor? The student must take a multidimensional test and score in the 98th percentile. However, the most weighted part of the test remains an average IQ test. Intelligence test scores should not be the primary qualification for admittance into the gifted program. They should not remain the primary qualification because it allows the minorities and the economically disadvantaged to be underrepresented, it proves insufficient when compared to other means of testing, and it fails to accurately reflect a student’s intelligence.

    The critical thinking component is not to be overlooked in the classroom, and this is where both Bloom’s Taxonomy and the DOK can be useful tools for preparing the lesson and assessing student milestones. Bloom’s Taxonomy is, undoubtedly, the most widely used of the two, but it does leave something to be desired relative to attaining the goal of completion to mastery. The downside of Bloom’s Taxonomy is the longivity of navigating through the levels, if taken literally (Wirth & Perkins,

    As a kid, I was enrolled in my school system’s Talented and Gifted (TAG) program, which “provides highly motivated, academically gifted students with an opportunity to realize and develop their exceptional intellectual and creative abilities.” I loved TAG. As a proclaimed “talented and gifted” student, it was refreshing to learn in an engaging environment where creative thinking, deep conversations, and real world connections were encouraged. For six years of my early school life, up until I started high school, I was in this type of classroom with some half of the same group of sixty kids. We enjoyed learning and were encouraged to expand our knowledge and critical thinking.

    what kinds of evaluation tools can be used to determine if the learning exercise was effective (curry & Milsom, 2014)? Bloom’s taxonomy theory is to assist school counselors to develop and organize an academic curriculum that assists the student to gradually increase the child’s maturity in regard to career preparedness (Curry & Milsom, 2014). The condensed version of Bloom’s taxonomy theory uses six different objectives that are being used today they are: creating, applying, evaluating, remembering, analyzing and understanding. The techniques/interventions that could be most useful and effective in regard to theory and development are choosing, creating and designing lesson plans that are culturally sensitive and responsive i.e. supports the child language, home life, and culture that assists the child to be able to be successful in school. Create curriculum that addresses and aimed at how a child learns i.e. auditory, kinesthetic, and or visual (Curry & Milsom, 2014).

    First, however, one must have a clear notion of what is meant by giftedness. Only the top 2-5 % of children in the world are truly gifted. These children are precocious, self-instructing, can intuit solutions without resorting to logical, linear steps, and have an incredible interest in an area or more that they focus so intently on, that they may lose sense of the outside world (3). Early reading and development of abstract thought are typical characteristics as well. The acceleration of ment...

    It is important to understand the many different methods of educating gifted and talented students. Most people, whether as teachers, students, or parents, will at some point be faced with the many options of educating the gifted and talented. In the United States today, 3-5 percent of students are considered gifted. Defining whether or not a student is gifted can be quite difficult, but many would agree that gifted students “are able to learn material rapidly and understand concepts deeply” (Lynch, 1999). Within this paper I will discuss the process of identifying gifted and talented students and the different methods of educating them including tracking, grade advancement, and cooperative learning. Of these three methods I believe the most effective method used to teach gifted and talented students is tracking.

Further, giftedness can be viewed as developmental, in that in the beginning stages, potential is the key variable; in later stages, achievement is the measure of giftedness; and in fully developed talents, eminence is the basis on which this label is granted. Psychosocial variables play an essential role in the manifestation of giftedness at every developmental stage. Both cognitive and psychosocial variables are malleable and need to be deliberately cultivated (L. Coleman & Cross, 2005, Dai & Coleman, 2005a; Mayer, 2005; Olszewski-Kubilius, 2000).
