Sample Book Insights:

#1 The media storm that erupted in 1956 upon the publication of a book titled Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: The Classification of Educational Goals, Handbook I: Cognitive Domain, was largely the result of a misused pyramid visual image.

#4 If you want your students to have knowledge that they can use to practice their higher order cognitive skills, you must help them acquire that knowledge. Simple tweaks to the organization of your course and the order in which you introduce new material and review older material can provide a powerful boost to student mastery of knowledge.
