This approach takes a holistic view of student learning and instructor guidance based on the conscious cultivation of six areas presented in Fink&#8217;s taxonomy as follows:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:104%;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:66.666666666667%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:2.88%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:0px;--awb-spacing-left-large:2.88%;--awb-width-medium:66.666666666667%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:2.88%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:2.88%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\" style=\"--awb-text-transform:none;\"><h3>1. Foundational Knowledge<\/h3>\n<p>Remembering and understanding information. Other kinds of learning build from this base of content knowledge.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Application<\/h3>\n<p>Students learn how to engage in some new kind of action, which may be intellectual, physical, social, etc. Learning how to engage in various kinds of thinking (critical, creative, practical) is also an important form of application learning.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Integration<\/h3>\n<p>Making connections between ideas, learning experiences or subject areas. These are often the deeper underlying rules or processes that connect what may at first appear to be disconnected phenomena.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Human Dimension<\/h3>\n<p>Learning about yourself and others. This may mean how the material applies to students and those around them, how accomplishing a task or difficult project might reflect on the student (self-image), or what these accomplishments might mean for their future goals (self-ideal).<\/p>\n<h3>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Caring<\/h3>\n<p>Developing interest or value for the topic within students. If you have chosen a topic to teach because it is important, often you will want students to develop a similar appreciation.<\/p>\n<h3>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Learning How to Learn<\/h3>\n<p>Improving students\u2019 learning skills while simultaneously learning content. This means that students are not only becoming more efficient at learning but becoming self-directed to continue learning beyond the course.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:5.76%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:0px;--awb-spacing-left-large:5.76%;--awb-width-medium:33.333333333333%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:5.76%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:5.76%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\" style=\"--awb-text-transform:none;\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-220 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/maitripa.org\/assessment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2022\/02\/sig-learning-chart.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maitripa.org\/assessment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2022\/02\/sig-learning-chart-200x172.jpg 200w, https:\/\/maitripa.org\/assessment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2022\/02\/sig-learning-chart-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maitripa.org\/assessment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2022\/02\/sig-learning-chart.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\" style=\"--awb-text-transform:none;\"><h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>(adapted from Fink, 2003)<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Curricular design that takes this taxonomy into account results in an education that works deeply to shape and transform the student.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h5><em>From our students (end of term course evaluations):<\/em><\/h5>\n<p><em>&#8220;Incredible breadth of history while also getting real depth!!!&#8221; &#8230;&nbsp; &#8220;I learned so much and now have such a better handle on a historical scaffolding to guide my understanding!
