Reframing Bloom's Taxonomy for the Age of AI
Blackboard White Papers and Research: From Insight to Impact
1:30-2:30 Monday, January 12, 2025, ENGR 102 at UMBC
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping education, challenging traditional frameworks like Bloom's Taxonomy, a hierarchical framework used in education to classify learning objectives and cognitive skills according to their level of complexity. Structured as a pyramid, it progresses from basic lower-order thinking, such as remembering facts, to higher-order skills like analyzing, evaluating, and creating new ideas.
This session introduces a reframed Bloom's Taxonomy that expands beyond "Create" to include a new Transform layer, enabling learners to apply knowledge for real-world and social impact. Expanding on the white paper Reframing Bloom's for the Age of AI, we'll share strategies for embedding AI literacy, fostering critical thinking, and driving academic innovation.
Join this Instructional Technology session to discover how reframing Bloom's Taxonomy can help UMBC strengthen pedagogy, support academic innovation, and prepare future-ready graduates.
