Paper Summary:

This paper compares two learning models for reading comprehension, noting how different models can be used to explain comprehension, which in turn can be used in developing programs to improve learning. Two approaches considered are known as Bloom's Taxonomy and Herber's Models, the first developed by Benjamin Bloom, with both approaches offering stages of learning for comprehension in sequence.

From the Paper:

"In studies of cognition and language and reading processes, different models can be used to explain comprehension, which in turn can be used in developing programs to improve learning. Two approaches that can be considered are known as Bloom's Taxonomy and Herber's Models. Educational psychologists such as Benjamin Bloom created a method for classifying students, instruction, and testing and for linking these issues in a developmental process. Bloom also developed procedures for communicating lessons to students, a method allowing for the inclusion of measurable and observable instructional objectives so as to have a way of assessing learning, tests to administer for making this assessment, and procedures for changing the system. Benjamin Bloom created his taxonomy in 1956 when he headed a group of educational psychologists examining learning issues."
