How to use the verb Explain in a course or learning design

To utilize the 'Explain' verb in the psychomotor domain of Bloom's Taxonomy in your learning design, follow these steps: 1. Identify the topic or skill you want the learner to explain. 2. Break down the content into manageable parts or steps. 3. Create clear and concise explanations for each part. 4. Present the information in a way that is easy for the learner to understand, such as using visuals or real-world examples. 5. Encourage the educator to ask questions like "Can you detail how..." to prompt the learners to provide detailed explanations. 6. Provide opportunities for the learners to practice explaining the concept or performing the skill themselves. 7. Offer feedback and reinforcement to help improve their ability to explain. By incorporating the 'Explain' verb into your learning design, learners can deepen their understanding of the topic or skill by articulating it in their own words. This will also help educators assess the learners' comprehension and mastery of the material while promoting active engagement in the learning process.
