我们开发了Bloom Biology Tool(BBT)，这是一个基于Bloom分类的评估工具，以帮助理科教师更好地将他们的评估与他们的教学活动相结合，并帮助学生提高学习技能和元认知。这里介绍的工作显示了如何使用BBT等评估工具，在高等教育中以特定学科的方式指导和加强教学和学生学习。BBT最初是为一项研究而设计并进行了广泛的测试，在这项研究中，我们对大学生命科学考试和标准化测试中的近600道科学问题进行了排名。然后，在三个不同的大学环境中实施了BBT。BBT的实施帮助我们调整了教学，以更好地提高学生目前对材料的掌握，设计更高认知技能水平的问题，并帮助学生学习大学水平的考试和撰写布鲁姆分类学更高水平的学习问题。从这项工作中，我们还创建了一套补充工具，可以帮助生物学教师在布鲁姆分类的适当水平上创建课堂材料和考试，并帮助学生成功地开发和回答需要更高层次认知技能的问题。
We developed the Blooming Biology Tool (BBT), an assessment tool based on Bloom's Taxonomy, to assist science faculty in better aligning their assessments with their teaching activities and to help students enhance their study skills and metacognition. The work presented here shows how assessment tools, such as the BBT, can be used to guide and enhance teaching and student learning in a discipline-specific manner in postsecondary education. The BBT was first designed and extensively tested for a study in which we ranked almost 600 science questions from college life science exams and standardized tests. The BBT was then implemented in three different collegiate settings. Implementation of the BBT helped us to adjust our teaching to better enhance our students' current mastery of the material, design questions at higher cognitive skills levels, and assist students in studying for college-level exams and in writing study questions at higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. From this work we also created a suite of complementary tools that can assist biology faculty in creating classroom materials and exams at the appropriate level of Bloom's Taxonomy and students to successfully develop and answer questions that require higher-order cognitive skills.
