Chatbots continue to evolve rapidly with the escalation of AI’s cognitive abilities….moving from simple recall to higher order synthesis and creativity.
In my prompt response from ChatGPT, I was informed While ChatGPT does not strictly follow Bloom’s Taxonomy, it facilitates deeper learning through pattern based synthesis, adaptability, and interactive engagement. Educators and organizations can use AI to enhance Bloom-aligned learning strategies, but ChatGPT itself operates using a fundamentally different probabilistic, transformer-based model.
A recent study titled “Extending Interactive Science Exhibits into the Classroom using Anthropomorphized Chatbots and Bloom’s Taxonomy” explores the innovative application of Bloom’s Taxonomy in educational technology. Conducted by Yousuf Golding and published in February 2024, the research investigates the use of Generative AI chatbots to transform public science exhibits into virtual classroom experiences. By anthropomorphizing exhibits—such as creating chatbots with personalities of asteroids or comets—the study aims to enhance student engagement and learning. Bloom’s Taxonomy is utilized to structure interactive assessments, ensuring that the chatbot-generated questions align with various cognitive levels. Initial findings suggest that this approach effectively combines AI technology with established educational frameworks to extend the reach of science education beyond traditional exhibits.
