Educational Psychology / Unit 10   EDP 0909 short lesson, about 20 seconds

The Knowledge Dimension

Captions available

The idea

The revised taxonomy adds a knowledge dimension, factual, conceptual, procedural and metacognitive knowledge, and any cognitive process, from remembering to creating, can pair with any type of knowledge.

In practice

Recalling the steps of long division pairs remember with procedural knowledge; judging one's own study plan pairs evaluate with metacognitive knowledge.

Where people slip

The 1956 taxonomy had one dimension; the 2001 revision has two.
