LECTURE 1 READING: BLOOM’S READING & Pg 12–21 (1.2)
Biology in Bloom: Implementing Bloom's Taxonomy to Enhance Student Learning in Biology
oBlooming Biology Tool (BBT) - assessment tool based on Bloom's taxonomy; assist sci.
faculty to efficiently align their assessments with their teaching to help students improve
study skills/metacognition
BBT is used to guide/enhance student learning
oBBT implemented in different collegiate settings
oAcademic success - measured in not what is remembered but how students apply their
knowledge
Memorization & recall - lower-order cognitive skills (LOCS) that don't require
much understanding/critical thinking than higher-order cognitive skills (HOCS) which
require conceptual understanding
oActivities/testing strategies w/ learning outcomes are important
oCognitive challenge of exam questions strongly influence study strategies
oBloom's = used since 1960's; tool to categorize types of thinking into 6 levels:
Knowledge: identify, recall, list, memorize, level
Comprehension: describe in own words, re-write
Application: LOCS, HOCS predict an outcome, use information in new concepts
Analysis: understand how components relate to one another
Synthesis: create something combine different sources
Evaluation: determine relative value
oScience questions are uniquely challenging to the rubric
oBloom's-based Learning Activities for Students (BLASt): complementary student directed
tool designed to specifically strengthen study skills of Bloom's
Calculations
Concept Maps
Diagnosis
Graphing
TEXT BOOK:
Pg 12–21 (1.2)
o1.2 Chemical Foundations:
Biochemistry: explain biological form and function in chemical terms
Purify an individual chemical component (i.e. protein) from living
organism and characterize structural/chemical characteristics
~30/90 naturally occurring chemical elements = essential to organisms;
usually with low atomic numbers
The lightest elements form the strongest bonds
Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon - make up 99% of the
mass of most cells
