Week 2- My Reflection on Good Pedagogy, Bloom's Taxonomy and SAMR Model

It only seems like this morning I was posting about De Bono's Thinking Hats. Now I'm going to be discussing my opinions on this weeks topics Good Pedagogy, Bloom's Taxonomy and SAMR Model.

Good Pedagogy

Good Pedagogy is not always derived from a set way of teaching, it's what works well for yourself, the class you teach and assuming all the desired learning outcomes are achieved. Students learn differently from one to another so it's important not to assume they all learn in the same ways.


I hope you all enjoy a good quote I found below when researching a few Pedagogy images.



"A mediocre teacher tells. A good teacher explains. A superior teacher demonstrates. A great teacher inspires." -William Arthur Ward

Bloom's Taxonomy-

Bloom's Taxonomy was created in 1956 by psychologist Dr Benjamin Bloom in order to promote higher forms of thinking in education, such as analysing and evaluating concepts, processes, procedures, and principles. Bloom's Taxonomy is often used by professionals when developing educational, training, and learning processes. There are six levels of Bloom's cognitive domain which you can see in the picture below-

SAMR Model

SAMR stands for Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition, it is somewhat similar to Bloom's Taxonomy as the lower half of the model (Substitution & Augmentation) represents Knowledge, Comprehension and Application where the top half of the model (Modification & Redefinition) represents Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation. Please find the comparison of both models in an image form below-
