Advantage of the Revised Taxonomy
The advantage of the revised taxonomy is that it allows you to consider a broader range of learning objectives than the original one-dimensional taxonomy. If you classify your learning objectives, your assessment items, and your teaching activities into the Taxonomy Table shown in Figure 2.3 , you can immediately see the types of knowledge and thinking on which your instructional unit focuses. Not every unit should have learning objectives and assessments in every one of the 24 cells, of course. But over the semester, your teaching should address and evaluate students’ learning in all (or nearly all) of them.
