Applying Bloom's Taxonomy in Orthopedic Clinical Education: Examples for Daily Practice

Abstract

Blooms taxonomy has been widely used in setting curricula and guiding the main educational outcomes. However, its use in daily teaching activities has been limited. In the context of orthopedic clinical education, applying Blooms taxonomy can help surgical educators design effective learning experiences for students. The taxonomy consists of six levels, starting from the basic level of remembering knowledge and moving up to higher levels of understanding, application, analysis, evaluation, and synthesis. Blooms taxonomy in orthopedic clinical education can help learners develop a deep understanding of the subject matter and acquire the necessary skills to excel in their future clinical practice.
