Advantages or merits of Educational Objective’s Taxonomies
- It may be a great help to educational administrators, specialists and teachers who are eager to discuss the educational goals, assess students’ performance in examinations and evaluate their participation in various co-curricular activities with a great deal of precision.
- These Taxonomic classification of educational objectives can be of much utility to the teacher in many ways as follows:
- It can help the teacher to achieve both teaching and learner a greater desirable balance.
- The teacher can analyze the tests constructed by himself as well as commercially available achievement tests to determine the relative emphasis according to various kinds of objectives.
- The teacher can improve the content validity of his tests.
Disadvantages or demerits of Educational Objective’s Taxonomies
- These Taxonomies seek to fragment or separate into particular, artificial categories of learners’ behaviours.
- There are several cases of overlapping of the general as well as specific learning outcomes in these three taxonomies.
- Classroom teachers may not be able to master and use them so meticulously so, that they may remain merely as pedagogic rhetoric.
