Level With Your Resident: Learning taxonomies and levels
Introduction
It may look small and insignificant - but there is a lot to know about just one particular word in each objective associated with the accreditation standards. It is that word in parentheses following each objective's number.
Take a look at the excerpt below from the outcomes, goals and objectives. The word in question is highlighted in red. In this example, the word is "synthesis" but the word in parentheses changes with different objectives.
It's importance is that it is telling you the learning taxonomy and learning level of the objective. You can use this information to help ensure that your learning activities are appropriate for teaching an objective.
