I am looking for recommendations of scales (in English or Spanish) to measure learning styles according to Bloom's taxonomy of learning.
Thank you in advance!
Bloom had a taxonomy of learning and ideas about differentiated instruction to address individual learning, but he is not the father of the idea of ”learning styles” of which there are now dozens of competing versions, mostly not evidence-based at all. It is an interesting idea, buth generally seen as a learning myth.
in our article (to be published in late February or early March), we tried to consolidate the 6-Level Skills Development Approach to Skill Assessment, one of the frameworks was, of course, Revised and Extended Bloom's Taxonomy.
You could follow me and wait for the article to be published. I could also refer you to the original sources meanwhile:
Anderson, Lorin W., David R. Krathwohl, and Benjamin S. Bloom (2001). A Taxonomy for Learning, Teaching, and Assessing: a Revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives / Editors, Lorin W. Anderson, David Krathwohl; Contributors, Peter W. Airasian ... [et Al.]. Complete ed. New York: Longman. Print.
Enjoy
Do you mean learning styles? I agree with recent research that learning styles are more myth than fact. Sure, students learn by seeing, hearing, speaking, doing, representing, and acting, but everyone does. If you mean levels of difficulty or domains of knowledge, all ways to restate Bloom, than I am with you.
The problem, from a practical standpoint, is students often believe learning styles are an entitlement. If the instructor does not teach the way the student wants, aka his/her learning style = preferences, then the student claims he/she does not have to learn. Equally mythical is multiple intelligences. Howard Gardner's original title was multiple gifts, but an astute editor saw a chance to make some money and changed the title.
Consider
Kirschner, P. A. (2017). Stop propagating the learning styles myth. Computers & Education, 106, 166-171.
An, D., & Carr, M. (2017). Learning styles theory fails to explain learning and achievement: Recommendations for alternative approaches. Personality and Individual Differences, 116, 410-416.
Willingham, D. T., Hughes, E. M., & Dobolyi, D. G. (2015). The scientific status of learning styles theories. Teaching of Psychology, 42(3), 266-271.
There are many others articles. Good pedagogy needs to be scientific, and the claim students need a teacher which unlocks each student's code is harmful. Still, lecturing and reading often predominate, and appealing to multiple modalities helps all students.
An interesting question Pedro J. Ramos-Villagrasa In English HEIs we are using Anderson and Krathwohl's revision of Bloom's Taxonomy see David R. Krathwohl (2002) A Revision of Bloom's Taxonomy: An Overview, Theory Into Practice, 41:4, 212-218, Article A Revision of Bloom's Taxonomy: An Overview
. However, in our schools we are still using Bloom's taxonomy and the assessment structures and scoring are linked to these. We don't use it to link specifically to learning styles. As many say, these are not often linked to a strong body of evidence but have helped a lot of people to review the way that they teach.
Having a learning style is a myth.
I recommend the following video to clarify my statement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=855Now8h5Rs&t=28s
If you are interested in Learning styles - I am sure you know of this website which provides questionnaires for younger and more professional audiences as well as decyphers the combinations of learning modalities and strategies to use:
