Beyond Bloom's: Fink's taxonomy as a catalyst for meaningful learning in nursing education

Abstract

This article explores the integration of the six dimensions of Fink's taxonomy of significant learning into a nursing course and how course learning outcomes can be effectively mapped to these dimensions as well as the American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials. By aligning instructional strategies and assessments with these dimensions, educators can create a more engaging and effective learning experience for students. The article provides a practical example of how Fink's taxonomy was incorporated, highlighting the benefits of using this framework to foster deeper learning.
