Module 3 Post 2 – Janet Nguyen – Spiritual Learning Objectives Taxonomy

The second resource for my Module 3 research collection is a journal article on decolonial considerations for the design of learning objectives. This article highlights how Bloom’s taxonomy includes the cognitive (mind), psychomotor (body), and affective (heart) domains for Western education but is missing the fourth quadrant of the Indigenous medicine wheel regarding the spiritual domain. Check out the article below to learn how educators can create spiritual learning outcomes based on a modified version of Bloom’s taxonomy that revolves around honouring, valuing, connecting, empowering, and self-actualizing.
