Known for Bloom's Taxonomy: Bloom developed a "taxonomy of educational objectives" which classified the different learning objectives and skills that educators set for students. Bloom divided educational objectives into three "domains:" Affective, Psychomotor, and Cognitive. It is hierarchical, like other taxonomies, meaning that learning at the higher levels is dependent on having attained prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower levels.

Pedagogical Content Knowledge: His research has dealt with the quality of teaching and teacher education; knowledge growth among those learning to teach; the assessment of teaching; medical education; the psychology of instruction in science, mathematics and medicine; the logic of educational research; and the quality of teaching in higher education. His most recent studies emphasize the central role of a scholarship of teaching” in supporting needed changes in the cultures of higher education, and the function and features of signature pedagogies in professional education. https://naeducation.org/our-members/lee-shulman/

Science, Technology, Society (STS): Dr. Yager's current research focuses on Science-Technology-Society (STS) which affected more recent STEM efforts. He was recently president of the National Association of Science-Technology-Society and is actively promoting research and staff development focusing on STS and STEM in Korea, China, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Estonia, Turkey, and Germany. His current publications include a book, Science-Technology-Society: As Reform in Science Education, and a monograph series (now numbering 10). Dr. Yager has received numerous awards including the Jose Vasconcelos World Award and NSTA’s Robert H. Carleton Award for Distinguished Service. https://www2.education.uiowa.edu/html/iae/Pages/bio-yager.html

Universal Design for Learning (UDL): What UDL brings to curriculum design, one might say, Universal Design brings more broadly to environment and product design.

A precursor and inspiration for UDL, Universal Design originated in the field of architecture. The focus on making built environments usable by a full range of people of all ages and abilities has profoundly influenced approaches in many areas including product design. Like UDL, it is not so much a theory as it is a set of principles to keep in mind:

Principle 1: Equitable Use
Principle 2: Flexibility in Use
Principle 3: Simple and Intuitive Use
Principle 4: Perceptible Information
Principle 5: Tolerance for Error
Principle 6: Low Physical Effort
Principle 7: Size and Space for Approach and Use

While it certainly pays attention to accessibility, the overall scope broadly considers how to design for all types of all users. Hence, the use of the term Universal.

Growth Mindset: As she describes it: “My work bridges developmental psychology, social psychology, and personality psychology, and examines the self-conceptions (or mindsets) people use to structure the self and guide their behavior. My research looks at the origins of these mindsets, their role in motivation and self-regulation, and their impact on achievement and interpersonal processes.” https://fs.blog/carol-dweck-mindset/
