RATIONALEIn today’s classrooms, educational pedagogyis <strong>of</strong>ten founded on Benjamin S.Bloom’s “Six Levels <strong>of</strong> CognitiveComplexity.” The practical application<strong>of</strong> Bloom’s Taxonomy is to evaluate students’thinking skills on these levels,from the simple to the complex:Knowledge (rote memory skills),Comprehension (the ability to relate orretell), Application (the ability to applyknowledge outside its origin), Analysis(relating <strong>and</strong> differentiating parts <strong>of</strong> awhole), Synthesis (relating parts to awhole), <strong>and</strong> Evaluation (making a judgmentor formulating an opinion).The AIMS Teaching Module is designedto facilitate these intellectual capabilities,AND to integrate classroom experiences<strong>and</strong> assimilation <strong>of</strong> learningwith the students’ life experiences, realities,<strong>and</strong> expectations. AIMS’ learnerverification studies prove that our AIMSTeaching Modules help students toabsorb, retain, <strong>and</strong> to demonstrate abilityto use new knowledge in their world.Our educational materials are written<strong>and</strong> designed for today’s classroom,which incorporates a wide range <strong>of</strong>intellectual, cultural, physical, <strong>and</strong> emotionaldiversities.4© Copyright 1999 AIMS Multimedia
