The conscious awareness of the preferred learning style is paramount for learner success. This fact is well known with educators. What is not so well known is the various modes of learning as they relate to Bloom's Revised Taxonomy. Higher order learning skills run from the lowest "knowing" to the highest "creating." (Creating was formerly systhesis and #2.) All of this basically reflects the complexity of brain function in a given cognitive situation. This taxonomy is also relevant to the other realms such as psychomotor. The emotive area is intertwined into the other two but is often ignored by educators. How can this relate to learning styles? "Learning styles" is only one side of the coin so to speak; the other side is taking the student to higher order thinking with will help retention also. +David Leon Cooper, MS (Ed Adm)
