GWO CoHE TRAINING STANDARD V0
9.2 The GWO Taxonomy Framework
The structure of the GWO Taxonomy is based on the three learning domains: Knowledge, Skills, and Ability. Learning objectives are also defined at three taxonomic levels: 1) Basic, 2) Intermediate, and 3) Advanced level. The taxonomy levels in the learning objectives are defined by a reasonable number of precise and explained action verbs (highlighted below). These action verbs are presented in a progression of increasing complexity – beginning on the basic level, where the participant can name, recognise or describe a tool or a procedure, and ending at the advanced level, where the participant can act responsibly, evaluate performance, assess decisions and supervise fellow workers. The taxonomy and the presentation of action verbs in the progressive order imply that the previous taxonomic competences are already achieved. Learning objectives in this standard are followed by an indication of the domain and taxonomy level in brackets (e.g. Skills, intermediate level). The taxonomic domains and levels are presented in the figure below.
Knowledge
Skills
Ability
The participants understand a topic in a holistic way, where risks, advantages and disadvantages are considered and form the background for reflected assessments or decisions for action. Action verbs are: Assess , explore and choose . The participants can explain how things are done and how a piece of equipment or a tool is used. The participants can discuss a matter in professional terms and language .
The participants can experiment and refine their skills as well as select and evaluate on the performance and reactions in relevant situations.
The participants can adapt and act responsibly in new ways, pay attention to the safety of fellow workers and propose development of safety procedures.
The participants can supervise or manage colleagues’ work effort.
The participants can perform a given task, apply safety procedures or a tool, and distinguish between relevant and less relevant situations in which to apply a skill.
The participants can act independently, are able to identify connections and risks in work-related situations and can take initiative and take responsibility for feasible mitigating actions on the job.
