DNLE – Assignment #4: Learning Classification Chart using Bloom’s Taxonomy

Our 4th assignment was to use Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning Objectives and find an educational technology (I suppose they should be digital tools) that would allow teachers to design a learning activity for their students, which aims at the corresponding learning objective. Even though the assignment only states that we should give one tool per learning objective, I included an explanation as to how the use of each tool would allow learners to develop the corresponding learning outcomes described by the taxonomy.

I’ve been giving a very similar assignment to my Bachelor in Educational Sciences students in the past years… so this task was a no-brainer for me… a priori… but having to do it myself, made me aware of the fact that the educational tools themselves are not directly conditioning the learning objectives that they can serve… it’s all in the tasks that you design for your students…

About me

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Luxembourg in the field of learning and teaching sciences. My PhD thesis was in cognitive psychology, focusing on implicit learning processes. I have always been interested in the integration of ICT in education, especially the strategic use of technology in teaching. With the advent of the digital revolution, I became interested in exploring the socio-cultural changes in learning caused by the use of digital technologies.

My current research focuses on the subjective theories of learning held by teachers and how these influence their use of ICT in the classroom. I am particularly interested in identifying factors that enable or hinder the use of ICT in teaching, and how these factors can be addressed.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively as a teacher trainer in the field of educational technologies. I have experience with various forms of active pedagogy approaches, including problem-based, project-based, and design-research approaches. My goal is to help teachers integrate technology into their teaching practice in a way that enhances student learning and engagement.
