To implement the 'Compare' verb from the affective domain of Bloom's Taxonomy in your next learning design, begin by providing learners with two different approaches or methods related to the topic you are teaching. Encourage learners to analyze and evaluate these approaches to determine their strengths and weaknesses. You can prompt this comparison by asking questions such as "measure the value of two very different approaches/methods in solving the issue of..." Next, guide learners to identify similarities and differences between the two approaches. Encourage them to consider factors such as effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, and adaptability. Then, challenge learners to make decisions based on their comparison by asking them to justify which of the approaches they believe is more effective or suitable for a specific scenario. Finally, facilitate a discussion or activity where learners can present their findings and conclusions. This will not only deepen their understanding but also enhance their critical thinking and analytical skills. By following these steps, educators can effectively incorporate the 'Compare' verb into their learning design to promote higher-order thinking skills and meaningful learning experiences for their learners.
