Example 1

Learning is facilitated when learners are engaged in solving real-world problems.

Example 2

 Learning is facilitated when existing knowledge is activated as a foundation for new knowledge

Example 3

-Bloom’s Taxonomy
          

A classification system used to define and distinguish different levels of human cognition—i.e., thinking, learning, and understanding. Educators have typically used Bloom’s taxonomy to inform or guide the development of assessments (tests and other evaluations of student learning), curriculum (units, lessons, projects, and other learning activities), and instructional methods such as questioning strategies. It is also used to define how well a skill or competency is learned or mastered

Example 1

Evaluate the likely impacts on society and business from the trends in information systems that give customers more control and transaction visibility in the total supply chain.

Example 2

Analyse the relationship between parental socio-economic status and academic achievement.
