Psychology of Adult Learning -- Performance Objective Week 9

This list of resources was created as an assignment for Psychology of Adult Learning at Oklahoma State University, spring semester 2011.

Although Bloom's Taxonomy is often discussed in reference to teaching K12 students, it is also a very effective tool for teaching adults. Some of the resources on this list are focused on teaching children, but can be revised and implemented when teaching adults.

Practical Application

Below is a list of learning outcomes that adult learners might master after attending an information literacy seminar at their university library. (Adapted from Churches (2008).)

Remembering:
Students will identify the steps used to search a digital library database.

Understanding:
Students will summarize a newspaper, magazine, or journal article found on a digital library database, commenting on the information that might be useful for a research project.

Applying:
Students will execute a search for information on one of the digital library databases, demonstrating mastery of the process and tasks used to find a piece of information for a research project.

Analysing:
Students will integrate useful pieces of information from more than one resource by deconstructing each resource, and then organizing them into one new research paper or project.

Evaluating:
Students will hypothesize on the validity of a certain topic, critiquing the information gleened from the digital library databases, and reflecting on their conclusions.

Creating:
Students will construct a new piece of information, producing a unique and creative form that might be published, filmed, programmed, etc.
