Philosophy
Philosophy involves constructing and evaluating arguments. Bloom can explain a position, demonstrate an argument or ask learners to consider premises, objections and counterexamples, within the teaching settings. Choose the support that fits the learner's prior knowledge and task.

How Bloom supports philosophy learning
Argument analysis
Bloom helps students break down philosophical arguments into premises and conclusions, evaluating validity and identifying hidden assumptions.
Exploring arguments
Students can explore a position through explanations, examples and questions that help clarify assumptions, consider counterexamples and refine their reasoning.
Writing structure support
Bloom helps students plan and structure philosophical essays by prompting them to state their thesis, anticipate objections, and organise their reasoning.
