On Wed 11th May Dr Mehmet DEMIR, International Research Fellow University of Birmingham will be giving a Research In Progress on A Taxonomy for Using Social Media as a Learning Tool: Updating Bloom's Taxonomy...
The use of social media in the classroom is a key opportunity to increase learners' engagement, motivation, and promote their learning by providing students with various learning pathways.
This process requires creating a specific framework to demonstrate how social media can be used as a tool in the learning process according to educational objectives.
This study explores a standardised mechanism to familiarise educators with how to activate social media platforms as a learning tool; to help them to understand how the platforms can be employed in the subjects they teach, and how to integrate them with the learning environment.
With a view to supporting these outcomes, a social media taxonomy was developed (Web 2.0) based on Bloom’s taxonomy (Web 1.0) to find an innovative and sustainable way to transform teaching and learning.
The Web 2.0 taxonomy focuses on 3Cs named Consciousness, Cognition, and Creativity, and each dimension consists of its categories in the metacognitive domain: Consciousness [viewing], Cognition [posting, interacting, and analysing], Creativity [assessing, and displaying].
The categories symbolise instructional objectives hierarchically ranging from lower-order thinking skills to higher-order thinking skills.
