Activity #E5: Elaboration Planning
You now know the importance of elaboration and how knowledge is described using Bloom’s — from simple to more complex. However, it can be hard to transfer the skill of elaboration to coursework. Let’s take a look at how Blooms may be applied to your coursework.
Think of a class you have taken or are currently taking.
- Name the class
- Using Bloom’s, what type of knowledge (i.e., color and term) do you think you are most often asked to use and learn during this class?
- Think about how your learning is assessed in this class. Common methods include: Multiple choice, short and long-answer essays, and writing assignments.
