A.Zh. Sarsekenova conducted an open lesson in the course “Methodology of Teaching Natural Science and Social Studies” on the topic “The Effectiveness of Teaching Based on Bloom’s Taxonomy in Education.”

In accordance with the educational and methodological work plan, on April 15, 2026, A.Zh. Sarsekenova conducted an open lesson in the course “Methodology of Teaching Natural Science and Social Studies” on the topic “The Effectiveness of Teaching Based on Bloom’s Taxonomy in Education.”

The purpose of the lesson was to familiarize students with the levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy, demonstrate its effective application in the educational process, and develop students’ critical and creative thinking skills.

At the beginning of the lesson, students identified the concept of “Bloom’s Taxonomy” through a rebus activity, followed by a presentation explaining its theoretical foundations. The students were then divided into six groups and completed tasks based on Edward de Bono’s “Six Thinking Hats” method. Each group worked on activities corresponding to a specific level of Bloom’s Taxonomy and presented their results on A3 posters.

The practical part of the lesson focused on the topic “The Importance of Plants and Animals in Human Life,” which was analyzed through the levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Various active learning methods were effectively applied, including the “Incomplete Sentence” technique, “Think–Pair–Share,” Venn diagrams, cluster analysis, educational games, and problem-based learning activities. These methods contributed to the development of students’ analytical, communicative, and creative skills.

To maintain engagement and motivation, a physical activity break supported by information and communication technologies was conducted. The lesson concluded with reflection and peer assessment activities.

Faculty members attending the lesson highly appreciated its methodological quality, logical structure, effective teaching strategies, and the active participation of students. They noted that the application of Bloom’s Taxonomy successfully fostered students’ abilities to analyze, synthesize, evaluate, and think independently.

Overall, the open lesson was conducted at a high scientific and methodological level. The objectives were fully achieved, and the students demonstrated a high level of engagement, interest, and mastery of the learning material.
