Side Effects in Education: Taxonomy of Educational Outcomes
Prospects, v52 n1-2 p33-39 Sep 2022
Outcomes in education are complex and numerous. Seemingly simple instructional choices can have far reaching implications for a student's interest in a subject, their social network, and even their psychological well-being. These types of outcomes are rarely studied however. Interest in short-term instructional outcomes is far more prevalent, as made evident by the popularity of yearly high-stakes testing. Combatting this trend will require educators and policy makers to consciously investigate the various outcomes, even if only informally. This article offers a taxonomy of educational outcomes to help with this process. The taxonomy assists stakeholders at all levels understand the potential impact of their decisions. The article discusses a variety of delineations to help readers examine potential outcomes, including instructional and educational, short and long-term, and cognitive and non-cognitive. Finally, it provides a series of guiding questions with examples taken from the research literature to facilitate the process of exploring these outcomes.
