Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand the level of teaching practices of the Agriculture Faulty at Bangladesh Agricultural University based on Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (RevBT). Self-reported teaching methods and course learning outcomes identified by analysis of syllabi of the Agriculture Faculty at BAU were related to the lower order of RevBT. Faculty members from biological science and engineering used more teaching practices from evaluating level of RevBT than social science disciplines. Male.faculty members also used more teaching practices related to analyzing level of RevBT. Thus, it can be recommended that faculty members should increase their use of the applying, analyzing, and evaluating levels of RevBT to strive to increase critical thinking abilities among students.
