Procurement of- Technological decision-making- Responsibility

Description of Main Module 3

In the systematic structure of this module the hierarchical taxonomy of a cognitive minted learning target can be recognized. After reaching the last hierarchical stage (appliance), the cognitive ability should be present to divide a complex problem into its elementary ranges. These ranges should be assigned to partial hierarchical stages and the total problem should be solved by systematic release in a systemic way.

Note: A revised taxonomy was published in 2001 entitled “A Taxonomy For Learning, Teaching & Assessment” written by Lorin Anderson and David Krathwohl. The revised taxonomy focuses on teaching and learning, rather than assessment, but can be applied to the construction of test items.
