Abstract
10. Complex Overt Response: the ability to skillfully perform complex patterns of actions. Example: Typing a report on a computer without looking at the keyboard. 11. Adaptation: the ability to modify learned skills to meet special events. Example: A designer uses plastic bottles to create a dress. 12. Origination: creating new movement patterns for a specific situation. Example: A choreographer creates a new dance routine. The ABCDs of Writing Instructional Objectives The ABCD method of writing objectives is an excellent way to structure instructional objectives. In this method, "A" is for audience, "B" is for behavior, "C" for conditions and "D" is for degree of mastery needed. The key here is to use verbs that indicate a clearly observable and measurable action. Appropriate action verbs for the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains are listed below. Bloom's Taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive learning, originated by Benjamin Bloom and collaborators in the 1950's, describes several categories of cognitive learning. Knowledge-Ability to recall previously learned material. Comprehension-Ability to grasp meaning, explain, restate ideas. Application-Ability to use learned material in new situations. Analysis-Ability to separate material into component parts and show relationships between parts. Synthesis-Ability to put together the separate ideas to form new whole, establish new relationships. Evaluation-Ability to judge the worth of material against stated criteria. Revised Anderson and Krathwohl cognitive taxonomy Category Description Remember-Ability to recall previously learned material. Understand-Ability to grasp meaning, explain, restate ideas. Apply-Ability to use learned material in new situations. Analyze-Ability to separate material into component parts and show relationships between parts. Evaluate Ability to judge the worth of material against stated criteria. Create-Ability to put together the separate ideas to form new whole, establish new relationships.

LEARNING AND TEACHING Theories, Approaches and Models
Cognitive Approach in the Process of Learning Studies related to how a person learns and how learning can be efficient have a long history. Various theories and approaches have been developed in this field and they have had important impact on endeavors for learning. Pedagogues make a classification based on three basic approaches while dealing with learning theories. These are behaviorist approach, cognitive approach and constructivism. It will be a mistake to see these three approaches as alternative to each one or to evaluate them independently while making a classification. Behaviorist, cognitive and constructivist ideas and principles overlap in many fields . It is difficult to classify these theories in this context. Some theories can be involved in more than one class in different ways. For example; in some resources, Bruner’s theory of Discovery Learning is accepted to be cognitive rather than developmental. In some other resources, Bruner is mostly included in developmental or constructivist class. On the other hand, while Albert Bandura is mostly classified as behaviorist, Bandura himself opposes to behaviorism. This difficulty in classification is natural. Because it is impossible to make a statement independent of behaviorist approach while dealing with cognitive approach or to make a statement independent of cognitive approach while handling constructivist approach. In other words, behaviorist approach provided a basis passing to cognitive approach while cognitive approach provided a basis passing to constructivist approach. According to this, cognitive approach does not deny behaviorism, it claims that cognitive process is seen in behaviorist learning. Moreover, constructivist approach established its principles on the basis of the principles of cognitive approach. According to behaviorist approach, learning depends on stimulus and response to a stimulus, and the resulting behaviour should be observable and measurable. While passing from behaviorist approach to cognitive approach, the question if cognitive process is present or not in acquiring behaviour started to be asked. We cannot say that cognitive psychologists completely exclude the findings of behaviorists. Cognitive processes and activities such as processing information, mental representations, guesses and expectations are accepted to be a basis in the interpretation of learning. What cognitive theorists do in addition to behaviorists’ findings is that they claim cognitive processes are also present in the events of an organism’s learning. In this chapter, cognitive approach is explained while the theories below are also included considering learning theories, which are explained, in separate chapters in the book.
A framework to generate learning objectives based on Vincenti's categorization of engineering knowledge
2005
Generation of learning objectives is one of the first steps in instruction design. Bloom's Taxonomy is widely used, from primary to higher education, to generate learning objectives. The cognitive domain competencies are categorized into six levels in Bloom's taxonomy. These levels do not take the categories of the knowledge specific to domain of concern. One categorization of engineering knowledge is

Means to find the main ideas and show how they are related and why they are important. Comment on Means to discuss, criticize, or explain its meaning as completely as possible. Compare Emphasize similarities, but differences may be mentioned. Contrast Stress differences. Criticize Express your judgment as to the correctness or merit of the matters under consideration. Define Make a clear statement including all items which belong within the category you are defining, but excluding all items which do not belong. Describe Characterize the item from several points of view. (Sometimes this question may begin with the word "What.") Diagram Means to make a graph, chart, or drawing. Be sure you label it and add a brief explanation if it is needed. Discuss Outline the item completely, paying special attention to organization. Present pros and cons and illustrative details. Enumerate Means to list. Name and list the main ideas one by one. Number them. Evaluate Means to give your opinion or some expert's opinion of the truth or importance of the concept. Tell the advantages and disadvantages. Explain This is similar to "discussing" but there should be greater emphasis on "how" and "why." Illustrate Means to explain or make it clear by concrete examples, comparisons, or analogies. Interpret Means to give the meaning using examples and personal comments to make it clear.
Problem solving and learning
American Psychologist, 1993
provided a framework for understanding problem solving that can provide the needed bridge between learning and performance. Their analysis of means-ends problem solving can be viewed as a general characterization of the stmcture of human cognition. However. this framework needs to be elaborated with a strength concept to account for variability in problemsolving behavior and improvement in problem-solving skill with practice. The ACT* theory (Anderson. 1983) is such an elaborated theory that can account for many of the results about the acquisition of problem-solving skills. Its central concept is the production rule, which plays an analogous role to the stimulus-response bond in earlier learning theories. The theory has provided a basis for constructing intelligent computer-based tutoring systems for the instruction of academic problem-solving skills.

Cognitive Tasks and Learning
2012
Cognitive tasks are those undertakings that require a person to mentally process new information (i.e., acquire and organize knowledge / learn) and allow them to recall, retrieve that information from memory and to use that information at a later time in the same or similar situations (i.e., transfer). Theoretical Background Cognitivism The roots of cognitive psychology and the role of cognitive tasks lie with David Ausubel's Psychology of Meaningful Verbal Learning (1963) and Robert Gagné's Conditions of Learning (1977). According to Gagné cognitive tasks aim at the acquisition of intellectual skills and consist of eight hierarchically organized cognitive processes: stimulus recognition, response generation, procedure following, use of terminology, discriminations, concept formation, rule application, and problem solving. Cognitivism was a response to behaviorism which saw learning as a simple response to environmental stimuli. Ausubel, in response to behaviorism, believed that understanding concepts, principles, and ideas are achieved through deductive reasoning requiring active participation in of a learner whose actions are a consequence of thinking. He called this meaningful learning; as opposed to rote memorization. Gagné identified five major categories of learning (verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, motor skills, attitudes), each requiring different internal and external conditions for it to occur. Schema Theory of Learning That which is meaningfully learned is organized in schemata. The schema theory of learning (Anderson, 1977) views organized knowledge as an elaborate network of abstract mental structures which represent how one understands the world. Schemata (1) are constructed by the learner, (2) are meaningfully organized, (3) are added to and refined as an individual gains experience (Piaget: assimilation), (4) are reorganized when
The evaluation of thinking skills based on taxonomy of anderson and krathwohl
2010
Learning activities should involve explicit thinking skills. It is more convenient to categorize thinking skills based on the existing frameworks. The framework that is still considered very useful and popular among educators is Taxonomy Bloom (1956). Bloom's Taxonomy of cognitive domain is categorized into six type of thinking skills (Meyer, 1988; Som and Mohd Dahalan, 1998; Widad and Kandar, 2006). According to Tee et al. (2009), lower order thinking skills are the level of knowledge, understanding and application, while the level of higher order thinking skills are analysis, synthesis and evaluation. However, a revised on Taxonomy Bloom had been done by Bloom's students, Anderson and Krathwohl in the year of 2001. There are some significant changes based on the revised taxonomy. This article will discuss about the Piaget's cognitive theory and the differences between cognitive and meta-cognitive. In addition, Bloom's Taxonomy (1956) and Taxonomy of Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) will also be discussed. Besides that, this article will also address the action verbs widely used in each level of thinking skills and thinking skills evaluation tools such as objective tests, essay tests, and rubric.
A New Framework for Teaching in the Cognitive Domain
PsycEXTRA Dataset, 2000
DEVELOPING AN ACHIEVEMENT TEST IN MATHEMATICS BASED ON REVISED BLOOM'S TAXONOMY OF EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES.
Achievement tests are helpful for techers to provide with objective feedback as to how much students are learning and understanding.It attempt to measure what an individual has learned in his or her present level of performance.That is any test designed to assess the achievement in any subject with regard to a set of predetermined objectives.Thus the framework of constructing an achievement test includes content to be assessed and cognitive processes. Revised Bloom's taxonomy has two dimensions identified as the knowledge dimension (kind of knowledge to be learnt) and the cognitive process dimension (the process used to learn)whereas Bloom's taxonomy has only one dimension.The revised taxonomy is different in three ways-(i) Terminology: This change is minor yet significant. It is a shift from the noun to verb. The word knowledge was considered inappropriate as a category of thinking and is replaced by remembering. Thinking is an active process and knowledge is the product of thinking. Knowledge is not viewed as a form of thinking. Comprehension is revised as understanding. Evaluating has replaced synthesis and creating has replaced evaluation. The word synthesis was not very communicative about the learning actions. Therefore, it is replaced by creating, i.e. putting the learnt things together in a novel way. The subcategories of the six categories are also in the form of verbs. (ii) Structure: Bloom's original cognitive taxonomy was a one-dimensional form. With the addition of products, the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy takes the form of a two-dimensional table. One of the dimensions identifies The Knowledge Dimension (or the kind of knowledge to be learned) while the second identifies The Cognitive Process Dimension (or the process used to learn). As represented on the grid below, the intersection of the knowledge and cognitive process categories form twenty-four separate cells as represented on the "Taxonomy Table" below.
A New Model for the World of Instructional Design: A New Model
Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology, 2005
Like all models, the new model is also based on a theoretical foundation; constructivism, which emphasis is placed on the learner or the student rather than the teacher or the instructor. Students learn by fitting new information together with what they already know. People learn best when they actively construct their own understanding. The new constructivist based model is composed of four processes; input, process, output, and feedback. In the first step of this model, input activities are designed. At the beginning, the needs of the students are planned by using needs assessment. Needs assessment is an important process in constructivist approach. After the identification of the needs of the students, the units are started to be planned. The topics are stated from easier to the difficult one. After the aims are stated, the objectives are written, by considering the conditions. The teacher uses his / own teaching methodology by considering the characteristics of the students. The selection and preparation of the media is determined after stating the aims and objectives. In the second stage, the process begins with pre-assessment. In other words, the units, which are planned in the previous stage, are assessed before getting started of the instruction. From the results of the pre-assessment, the instructor gets an idea about the students' readiness, and the level of prerequisite skills. After the teacher reorganized the lesson by taking into consideration of the results, he / she implement his lesson by considering all of the previously mentioned aspects. During the implementation process, the weaknesses, and the strength points are considered. In the third stage, the units are taught, and the questions of the students are answered. In this model, the teacher is not only teaching, but facilitating the lesson for his / her student. In order to understand whether the students learn the units or not, during the semester, the teacher gives quizzes. With the formative evaluation, in this constructivist based approach, summative evaluation is used. After all the evaluation process is done, as the fourth stage, the teacher gets the feedback of the students' knowledge on the lessons. In constructivist approach experiencing is important, so the teacher should create authentic environment in order to let the students to experience it. If something is practiced, then it means ithas a meaning for the learners. If the students doesn't practice the knowledge, or if that knowledge doesn't have a meaning for the students, it means the instructor, or the teacher should go at the beginning of the model, and does the same thing from the beginning to the end.

In the old times it was thought that to have someone learn to swim it was enough to push him/her into the water, and he/she would learn how to swim. This method was not that successful, and those who had learned swimming this way, seem to have a bitter taste about their experience, which would stay with them and refreshed whenever they see water.
