Though this article does not align with my aim to focus on Indigenous scholars, I still thought it was a fascinating way to reframe and expand upon Bloom’s Taxonomy, a framework referenced frequently in education and instructional design, using the medicine wheel.
The author uses the spiritual quadrant as an example and mirrors the pyramid we typically see representing Bloom’s taxonomy.
Overall I thought this article showed a great exercise in rethinking an instructional design theory with an Indigenous lens, even if it is not the personal lens of the author.
Hi Jennifer,
These are beautiful infograhics that I have already added into my TESOL teacher training program. They so beautifully match Bloom’s Taxonomy as well as SAMR Ipadology but from an Indigenous perspective that it makes me wonder if all Western knowledge and science is simply a repackaging of traditional Indigenous knowledge?
