A thoroughly updated guide to the nature of knowledge! The New Taxonomy of Educational Objectives—the most current and comprehensive guide in 50 years to define the new standard for education—is a must-have resource for all directors of curriculum and instruction, directors of staff development, principals, and teachers. Developed by Dr. Robert J. Marzano and John S. Kendall, internationally recognized experts in the development and improvement of standards for education, this field-tested and proven reference contains the most current research on the nature of knowledge and cognition and a reflection of the movement to standards-based education. Based on three domains of knowledge —information, mental procedures and psychomotor procedures — and six levels of processing — retrieval, comprehension, analysis, knowledge utilization, metacognition, and self-system thinking — this essential guide offers specific applications for designing and classifying educational objectives, creating assessments, redesigning state- and district-level standards, formulating curriculum ,and outlining a thinking-skills curriculum.
