Anyone who's gone through a CS course, you know how things like Big O, sorting, and the primary data structures were beat in our heads? Blooms is beat into the heads of Education majors (I was CS/Edu). I live and breathe this now. (BS in CS/Edu, MS in Instructional Design, EdD in Curr & Inst) This past week was spent writing learning objectives for some cybersecurity lessons we're building and using good, measurable Bloom's verbs (and teaching coworkers who obviously somehow skipped those classes.) To know if a lesson was effective or not, you should be able to see a change. Like I can't see you understand. I can't see you know how to ___. But I can observe you listing out the things, or I can observe you utilizing a thing, or I can observe you explain how to do the thing. Those are the objectives for a given lesson that is observable. That's the focus of a lesson to get the learner from where they can't do the thing to where they can do the thing and you can know they know it because it's observable in some way. (Also Benjamin Bloom never drew a pyramid. His books are far more boring and sterile than something as easily digested as a triangle. However the triangle is a good distillation of his work - which is more than one book.)
