BLOOM’S TAXONOMY: CAN HIGHER LEVEL THINKING BE IDENTIFIED IN AN ONLINE MBA COURSE?

Blake Frank and Robert Walsh

Business Education and Accreditation, 2023, vol. 15, issue 1, 69-76

Abstract: Online education has grown dramatically over the past 25 years. Questions about the effectiveness of online education have also increased as well. One issue that educators continue to ponder is “Can students engage in higher level thinking while taking a course completely online†? This paper examines that question by using Bloom’s Taxonomy as a framework to examine student end-of-the-term responses to an extra credit question on the final exam. Seven different sections were surveyed from four different courses: Introduction to Financial Accounting, Introduction to Managerial Accounting, Value Based Marketing and Value Based Leadership. Results of the study found that students receiving higher grades use words in their responses that show both a higher and lower levels of thinking than students with poorer grades. Implications from the results of this study are also discussed.
