Developing Your Own Learning Language

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.

Freedom, Fluid, Welcoming, Growth, Positive, Uncensored, Check Facts, Develop, Collaborate.

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

Check facts–>evaluate Develop–>Design/Create/Construct/Compose

Words that are all my own

Freedom, Fluid, Welcoming, Growth, Positive, Uncensored, Check Facts, Develop, Collaborate. My words are more focused on freedom, welcoming learning environment, self development, collaborative skills, and fact checking. I did not have words in regards to evaluating or other specific categories like the Bloom’s Taxonomy of Measurable Verbs; but I think there is some similarity in regards to what it should look and feel like.

Words that I would add from the document. . .and Why?

WordWhy
GrowthI think growth is important to have because it ties in to evaluating your past level and current level. I think it would be helpful to have its own category and see what words can be added under it. I think really ties into pedagogy itself and seeing what we do differently overtime and why.

Words that I disliked from the document. . .and Why?

WordWhy
DramatizeI did not really like dramatize because it does not make sense to me. I think that perhaps emphasize would be better just because to me, education is not really something to make a drama out of. I am not offended by any means, I just think like classes such as history have a lot of impactful topics (both negative and positive), and that it is important to be mindful of intent vs impact.
