Creating Learning Languages
Step One
Consider the words and phrases that come to mind when you describe what you think learning should look and feel like. In the space below, record as many words and phrases that come to mind. Do not limit yourself to what you think is acceptable or generally “approved” as words to describe learning.
- Enjoyable, something you look forward to
- Feeding a curiosity
- Discovering something new
- Adding perspective
- Honing skills
- Reflecting on our own experiences and critically viewing ourselves
Step Two
Now, review Bloom’s Taxonomy of Measurable Verbs (from Utica College) and compare the words and phrases in that document to the ones you chose. Below, fill out the sections based on what you chose and what you see in that document.
Words that appear on both lists
Discover.
Words that are all my own
All the words are my own…
So after looking at this list, I looked at some of the words I have written in different syllabi and it was interesting to see how the measurable verbs show up in those documents but not my quick brainstorm.
Words that I would add from the document. . .and Why?
| Word | Why |
|---|---|
| Hone | I have always loved this word since it lets you refine and improve whatever you are connecting it to (skills, practice, etc.) |
Words that I disliked from the document. . .and Why?
| Word | Why |
|---|---|
| Memorize | Reminds me of an age that is not applicable any more, memoriztion is devalued in a time when information can be accessed in seconds from a device in our pockets. |
