Bloom's Extended Taxonomy Revised: A BETR Way to Define Educational Objectives
Abstract
Bloom’s Taxonomy of educational objectives is a commonly used framework for scaffolding learning outcomes. However, even following its revision in 2001 it is insufficient for the categorisation of the wide range of interpersonal and professional skills required for success in modern workplaces.
As part of the development of an international professional accounting competency framework, the team developed an extension to Bloom’s Taxonomy (Revised), which was used to identify the units of knowledge and cognitive processes associated with the demonstration of each competency. This information was then used to develop a framework for assessment development and appraisal, linked to the European Learning Model (ELM) list of Assessment types.
Bloom’s Extended Taxonomy Revised (BETR) is currently being used at all stages of the lifelong learning process, including the specification of competency frameworks and competency-based professional recognition, the specification of assessments, the appraisal of educational programs and review of evidence of learning for the Recognition of Prior Learning and Experience.
