The Taxonomy of Significant Learning
If you haven’t explored the Taxonomy of Significant Learning by L. Dee Fink, it might just become your favorite new course planning tool.
Many of us are familiar with Bloom’s Taxonomy for structuring cognitive tasks, but what about the deeper dimensions of how and why students learn? Fink’s model highlights six interconnected aspects of learning, including the human element, real-world relevance, and personal connection.
This approach helps reframe course design to foster greater student engagement, deeper learning, and meaningful application. A must-read for anyone looking to design with intention.
