Levels of Learnings

Bloom's Taxonomy

Bloom's Taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models for classifying educational learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity. The three lists cover the learning objectives in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. The cognitive domain list has been the primary focus of most traditional education and is frequently used to structure curriculum learning objectives, assessments, and activities.

Memory retention

The ability to remember or recall information over a period of time is called memory retention. This is distinct from?working memory, which is tied to the number of items an individual can process at a given moment in time. Strong memory retention means that a learner can easily put knowledge to use without occupying or overloading working memory since background knowledge will be readily available. This leaves the individual with?more cognitive scope to think creatively, critically, or analytically since those require working memory. Law of diminishing returns kicks in when we move from Think to Retain as shown in the table.

The Learning Pyramid:

The learning pyramid, also called the "cone of learning," is?an education model theorizing that some teaching methods help students remember information more than others. To represent how much information students can recall, the model assigns each approach a percentage out of 100.

When a learner starts his learning curve, he goes through 5 levels of learning

1. Level 1 – Cognitive Understanding.
2. Level 2 – Basic Competence.
3. Level 3 – Mastering the Basics.
4. Level 4 – Beyond the Basics.
5. Level 5 – The Mindset of Continuous Improvement.

Learner goes through 4 stages in this

The journey of learner to innovator goes through contributor and self director stages.

Whenever you are picking up a new skill, always assess yourself and understand which of the 4 stages of learning you are in
