A session on the topic “Blueprint” was conducted on 17th February 2025 by Dr. K. S. Sajan, Dr. Aswathy, and Mrs. Anjali as part of an interactive and practice-based teaching approach. The session aimed to enhance students’ understanding of the construction of question papers using a well-structured blueprint, aligned with Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Session Highlights
The session began with an engaging multimedia presentation, where the resource persons provided a detailed explanation of the importance, components, and development process of a blueprint in educational assessment. The presentation incorporated visual aids, animations, and real-life examples to make the content more accessible and interactive for the students.
Dr. K. S. Sajan provided insights into the principles of assessment and the role of blueprints in ensuring fair and comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Aswathy elaborated on the various cognitive levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy and how they can be effectively integrated into question construction. Mrs. Anjali demonstrated practical techniques for creating a well-balanced blueprint that aligns with learning objectives.
Student Activities and Participation
One of the key highlights of the session was active student participation. Students were divided into groups and assigned a hands-on task where they:
Designed multi-level questions based on Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create).
Constructed blueprints for different subjects, ensuring a balanced distribution of questions across various cognitive levels.
Presented their blueprints to the class and received feedback from the facilitators.
The activity fostered collaborative learning, critical thinking, and application of theoretical concepts in real-world assessment practices.
Conclusion
The session was highly informative and interactive, equipping students with practical skills in blueprint construction. The use of multimedia enhanced their understanding, while the shared teaching practice encouraged collaborative learning. Students expressed their appreciation for the session, highlighting the clarity, relevance, and effectiveness of the teaching methods used.
Overall, the workshop successfully achieved its objectives by providing students with a comprehensive understanding of blueprints and their role in educational assessment.
