How they relate to learning outcomes
Levels and processes of learning have been classified in various ways. Theses classifications (taxonomies) of learning help with writing learning outcomes because they provide a framework for articulating what you want students to learn.
There is no one right way of writing learning outcomes, and no one ‘best’ classification of learning. Choose the classification that make sense to you and what you are teaching, and work from there.
This section explores:
- the most common learning ‘taxonomies’
- how to apply them when writing learning outcomes
- pros and cons of each ‘taxonomy’

If you’re new to writing learning outcomes, Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning is often a good place to start as there are lots of examples of how to use it. |
