Mr. Ruiz uses Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives in his Spanish class as an aid in creating his own course objectives. His belief is that Bloom’s Taxonomy is beneficial to the teaching of a foreign language. To that end he tries to tailor a unit’s objectives to one of Bloom’s cognitive levels. For a unit in which one of the objectives is that all students gain basic knowledge, which of the following would be an appropriate assessment?
  1. A short performance
  2. A multiple-choice test
  3. A written assignment
Explanation
Answer: B - A multiple-choice test. To assess if student have gained basic knowledge, a test is the most appropriate assessment tool. A performance or written assignment would ask for an application of the knowledge, which is a separate level in Bloom’s. A homework assignment may not be completed by all the students and is probably not the best option for knowledge assessment.
