Was Bloom's Taxonomy Pointed in the Wrong Direction?
Wineburg, Sam; Schneider, Jack
Phi Delta Kappan, v91 n4 p56-61 Dec 2009-Jan 2010
Bloom's Taxonomy usually is depicted as a pyramid with knowledge at the lowest level and evaluation at the top. For the history classroom, however, that arrangement might be upside down. In history, evaluation is often necessary before new knowledge can be learned. (Contains 1 figure.)
