I enjoyed the breakdown of Bloom's taxonomy.
I learned that education via trial and failure in the laboratory is not only my philosophy, but well researched.
I enjoy learning about Bloom's taxonomy and how to use it as scaffolding for my students.
I learned that clearly defined objectives in lab/shop environments improve instruction and assessment. Competency-based objectives should engage cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains, aligning with Bloom’s Taxonomy.
I learned about blooms taxonomy.
Competency based education is important because it shows the students not only do they need to be able to perform the hands-on task but how they also need to be able to show they have a good understanding of knowledge/ theory behind what they are learning.
The 2005 engineering education survey results are interesting - I will use that in my analog circuits class.
I as an instructor engage in the hands on approach so the students get the real life situations that they will run into in the work environment. Through this I ask questions to see if they understand how it works.
As an instructor, being able to work with students on different levels and using the domains as needed
As an instructor knowing the objectives of what you're teaching can be better categorized by using Bloom's Taxonomy and maintain a balance between each domain for a successful learning experience.
The alignment of competency based education and Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Competency based in our applied lexicon oftern reduces to checklists. It is important that synthetic and novel challenges be applied as well.
Patients is a must. Breakdown the material or assignment to the lowest possible skills. Different students come from a different background and education. Some are not as prepared as we expect them to be.
competency based education is based on individuals and focused on student outcomes providing goals and standards for measuring achievements also metacognition is described as knowledge about knowledge
Great examples on how to recognize and train the subconscious.
Every student learns differently. It is important to learn how to identify the different students, and learn the different ways of teaching different students. Be adaptable.
I see that we all learn differently......some are extremely hands on and some are better in class. Trying to mold them all into being good at both is key
Keith Flint: This is a different way of looking at the instruction process. I am a Special Instructor (Assistant Instructor) in a Skilled Trades training program. I am currently assisting in teaching what an electrician must understand to wire circuits in houses, commercial use, or the industrial environment. Last year I was teaching welding methods and theory. I am constantly working with students attempting to show the connection between science concepts, mathematics, and how these concepts apply in the real world. Breaking the instruction process down into the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor categories makes it easier to determine which area I can become more effective in the instruction process,
My first thought was why should we care about anything other than if they can actually do the job (perform the required tasks), but I can see the point the critics made about competency-based education not going far enough in developing the mental aspects. One concern might be that they would be pigeon-holed into one career if they do not focus on other aspects of learning.
Learning and understanding with retaining information.
every student learns differently
so, there are steps to learn how to teach appropriately for each student.
