Response to Sophia’s Blog Post #2

I really liked how you explained the difference between Bloom’s Taxonomy and the SOLO Taxonomy. It made the contrast between focusing on types of knowledge versus depth of understanding very clear. Your reflection on shifting from “term regurgitation” to deeper, inquiry-based learning also resonated with me. Additionally, I appreciated your example of using problem-based learning in psychopathology case studies. The step-by-step process you described shows how inquiry and reflection naturally reinforce each other.

I wonder if you could expand a bit more on how instructors might help students make that same shift from surface to deep learning. For instance, could aligning assessments with higher SOLO levels encourage students to think more critically? Exploring that connection might strengthen your already insightful discussion about motivation and metacognition.

Overall, your post did a great job connecting theory with authentic learning experiences.
