INTERNAL FACULTY SEMINAR

In the series of Internal Faculty Seminar, today on 18th September 2020, Seminar was organized by School of Law on the topic Bloom’s Taxonomy. This Seminar will enable the Faculty to develop and inculcate the strategies for assessing learning outcomes of the Course Objectives through framing of Questions in that way. In the Seminar the topic was presented by Prof. R. N. Sharma, Dean, School of Law. He explained that there are six ways / means for assessing the learning of Course Objectives. For this purpose the questions may be related to test the ability of the students of Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating and Creative. He has explained that if the assessment miss-match with the learning objective than the teachers as well as students both will feel cheated. If the questions relates to learn to apply analytical skills but your assessment measure only factual recall. Students will feel frustrated that the exam does not measure what they learn. If the assessment measures students ability to compare and critique the arguments of different authors but question relates only to summarizing the arguments of different authors. In this case also students do not learn or practice the skills of comparison and evaluation that will be assessed. He emphasized that to appropriately match the assessment with the outcome of learning objectives the Bloom’s Taxonomy provides the fruitful solution.
