Using Bloom's Cognitive Taxonomy for Curriculum Planning and Evaluation in Nontraditional Educational Settings.
A tool based on Bloom and Krathwohl's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, the Examination Profile, is presented for use in nontraditional and in traditional educational settings to provide planning and evaluative information. Its general categories can be helpful in structuring the multitudinous and diverse interactions characteristic of nontraditional education, while helping address questions of educational objectives and accountability. Finally, data using the Examination Profile and evaluating the divisional examination system at Hampshire College is presented.
