Evaluasi Keterampilan Afektif Siswa Berdasarkan Taksonomi Bloom: Studi Kasus di Sekolah Dasar
The evaluation of affective skills in students is crucial for holistic development, fostering positive attitudes, values, and self-efficacy. This study delves into the application of Bloom's Taxonomy to assess affective skills in elementary school students, using a case study approach. By analyzing the implementation of this framework in a specific school setting, this research aims to shed light on the effectiveness of Bloom's Taxonomy in evaluating affective skills and its implications for educational practices.
Understanding Affective Skills and Bloom's Taxonomy
Affective skills encompass a range of emotions, attitudes, values, and self-perceptions that influence student learning and behavior. Bloom's Taxonomy, a hierarchical framework for classifying cognitive skills, can be adapted to assess affective skills by focusing on the levels of emotional engagement, motivation, and self-regulation. The taxonomy's five levels – receiving, responding, valuing, organizing, and characterizing – provide a structured approach to evaluating the development of affective skills in students.
Case Study: Implementing Bloom's Taxonomy in an Elementary School
The case study focuses on a specific elementary school that implemented Bloom's Taxonomy to evaluate affective skills in its students. The school adopted a multi-faceted approach, incorporating various assessment methods such as observations, self-reports, and peer evaluations. Teachers were trained to identify and assess affective skills at different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, using specific indicators and rubrics.
Analyzing the Effectiveness of Bloom's Taxonomy
The study analyzed the data collected through various assessment methods to evaluate the effectiveness of Bloom's Taxonomy in assessing affective skills. The findings revealed that the framework provided a comprehensive and structured approach to evaluating student progress in affective domains. Teachers were able to identify specific areas of strength and weakness in students' affective skills, allowing for targeted interventions and support.
Implications for Educational Practices
The findings of this case study highlight the importance of incorporating affective skills assessment into educational practices. Bloom's Taxonomy provides a valuable framework for teachers to understand and evaluate the development of affective skills in students. By using this framework, educators can foster a positive learning environment that promotes student engagement, motivation, and self-efficacy.
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of Bloom's Taxonomy in evaluating affective skills in elementary school students. The case study highlights the importance of incorporating affective skills assessment into educational practices, providing teachers with a structured framework to understand and evaluate student progress in this crucial domain. By using Bloom's Taxonomy, educators can create a more holistic and supportive learning environment that fosters the development of well-rounded individuals.
