Combine

To incorporate the ‘Combine’ verb in the psychomotor domain of Bloom’s Taxonomy, the educator can direct the learner to merge different materials or actions in their learning task. To implement this, the educator can provide the instruction: “Put these materials together in a way that changes their original state.” Learners can then be guided to physically combine objects or steps to create a new outcome, demonstrating their understanding through hands-on activities. This can be particularly useful in subjects like science experiments, art projects, or engineering challenges. By using the ‘Combine’ verb, educators foster higher-order thinking skills such as synthesis and creativity while engaging the learner in practical application. This active learning approach enhances retention and understanding as the learner manipulates the materials to achieve a specific goal. By encouraging learners to combine elements in novel ways, educators can deepen their comprehension and encourage innovative thinking. Incorporating ‘Combine’ in lessons offers a dynamic way for learners to apply knowledge and skills in real-world contexts.
