Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement
Bloom’s taxonomy (Benjamin Samuel Bloom, 1956) is a hierarchical framework that is useful for categorizing learning objectives into discrete levels of understanding. This framework has six different discrete levels, becoming increasingly more complex: the original cognitive domain, beginning with Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and the highest level being Evaluation. The goal of this research is to understand how the experience of Undergraduate Learning Assistants (ULAs) in the same general chemistry one course emulates Bloom’s taxonomy, looking at both experiences during the designated class time and outside of it, in the form of office hours or exam reviews. Experiences with students occurred both in person and virtually, and as such, these experiences may be more conducive to certain levels of the taxonomy and deserve to be analyzed separately. The experiences being discussed are the researcher’s own.
