Using Bloom\’s modified taxonomy for reflection, as described in the Module 11 lesson, answer the following questions as they relate to your experiences in this course:
Blooms Remembering: Retrieving, recognizing, and recalling relevant knowledge from short- or long-term memory.
Reflection: What did I do?
Blooms Understanding: Constructing meaning from oral, written, or graphic messages.
Reflection: What was important about what I did? Did I meet my goals?
Blooms Applying: Carrying out or using a procedure through executing, or implementing. Extending the procedure to a new setting.
Reflection: When did I do this before? Where could I use this again?
Blooms Analyzing: Breaking material into constituent parts, determining how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure or purpose.
Reflection: Do I see any patterns or relationships in what I did?
Blooms Evaluating: Making judgments based on criteria and standards.
Reflection: How well did I do? What worked? What do I need to improve?
Blooms Creating: Combining or reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure.
Reflection: What should I do next? What’s my plan / design?

- Bloom’s Remembering: Retrieving, recognizing, and recalling relevant knowledge from short- or long-term memory.
Reflection: What did I do?
Nurse educators must possess core competencies including assessment and evaluation, learner development, and curriculum design (Mthiyane & Habedi, 2018). During the course, I learned how to develop learning programs and different types of assessment and evaluation strategies that would help measure the learning outcomes. I enhanced my skills as an educator and am now confident about my ability to teach and assess students.
- Bloom’s Understanding: Constructing meaning from oral, written, or graphic messages.
Reflection: What was important about what I did? Did I meet my goals?
The most important thing about what I did during the course was to enhance my ability to construct meaning from words and to select important ideas and details. I believe that I met my goal of connecting new knowledge with existing concepts.
- Bloom’s Applying: Carrying out or using a procedure through executing, or implementing. Extending the procedure to a new setting.
Reflection: When did I do this before? Where could I use this again?
I applied new knowledge to develop assessment blueprints for specific course objectives and outcomes. the procedure was rather challenging although I successfully completed it. As a nurse educator, I know that I will do this again when I want to measure my students’ learning.
- Bloom’s Analyzing: Breaking material into constituent parts, determining how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure or purpose.
Reflection: Do I see any patterns or relationships in what I did?
All the parts of the course relate together and to the overall purpose of enhancing educator skills. Throughout the course, I noticed that all the tasks we completed focused on enhancing critical thinking, communication knowledge, and selection of effective modes of instruction.
- Bloom’s Evaluating: Making judgments based on criteria and standards.
Reflection: How well did I do? What worked? What do I need to improve?
I feel that I did the best I could especially for the assignments. The course content was successful in enhancing my nurse educator skills. However, I feel that I need to improve on my speed especially when writing assignments and to focus more on the details to avoid redoing them.
- Bloom’s Creating: Combining or reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure.
Reflection: What should I do next? What’s my plan / design?
My plan is to practice the skills I learned during the course in real life. I believe that am currently sufficiently equipped to fulfill my role as a nurse educator hence I intend to get a job soon and begin my practice.
