How to use the verb Generalize in a course or learning design

To incorporate the "Generalize" verb from Bloom's Taxonomy into your learning design, you can create activities or questions that prompt the learner to take the information they have learned and apply it to new situations or contexts. One simple and actionable step is to use the question stem "How would you summarize" to encourage learners to distill the key points of a concept or topic and then apply this information to different scenarios. This helps learners refine their understanding and recognize patterns or principles that can be applied beyond the initial context. For example, you can ask the learner, "How would you summarize the main principles of conflict resolution we discussed in this module, and how could you apply them to a hypothetical workplace situation?" This prompts the learner to generalize their knowledge and think critically about how it can be used in various settings. By incorporating the act of generalizing into your learning design, you can help learners deepen their understanding and transfer their knowledge to real-world situations, fostering critical thinking skills and overall comprehension. blo Remote-learning, training, education, Bloom's Taxonomy, cognitive skills, elearning, instructional design, online courses.
