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

In your next learning design, you can incorporate the 'Define' verb from Bloom's Taxonomy by starting with the question stem "How would you describe". Encourage learners to articulate the meaning of key concepts or terms within the topic they are studying. This helps them develop a deeper understanding through verbalization and conceptualization. To implement this, create activities such as asking learners to define specific terms in their own words, create visual representations or mind maps of definitions, or engage in group discussions where they collaboratively refine their definitions. By incorporating 'Define' in your design, it promotes critical thinking and enhances the learners' ability to communicate complex ideas clearly. Remember to provide feedback and guidance to ensure accuracy and understanding. Using this approach fosters a solid foundation of knowledge and vocabulary within the subject matter, preparing learners for more advanced cognitive processes. Incorporating 'Define' supports a comprehensive learning experience for the educator.
