Teaching Global Software Engineering: Planning and Preparation Using a Bloom’s Taxonomy

In this paper I have discussed my experience of teaching global software engineering course using Bloom’s Taxonomy. I have discussed how one should plan and design courses based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. It was observed that a Bloom’s Taxonomy can play a vital role in order to effectively plan and design courses. Overall the six levels of Bloom’s Cognitive domain were helpful, in my teaching, in which I transformed students learning from the “knowledge” level to the “evaluation” level. Different challenges relating to six levels of Bloom’s Cognitive domain are discussed in this paper. It was also observed that if Bloom’s Taxonomy is used with other available teaching guidelines then one can improve the overall plan and design of different courses.
