Application of Bloom’s Taxonomy in the Instruction of Islamic Education

Abstract

Islamic education has over the years been taught using traditional methods. One of the modern approaches used in preparation of the lesson is the Bloom’s taxonomy. It has been used for setting objectives and learning outcomes as well as determining the content of the lesson and evaluation. In this paper, the position is that Islamic studies teachers should be equipped with contemporary pedagogical skills, techniques, approaches, strategies and theories such as Bloom’s taxonomy. This will not only enable the instructors of Islam to teach more effectively and efficiently but also it will enable them to have a long-term positive impact on the learners in terms of behaviour and character.
