An idea is powerful if it is reusable in generating more ideas, in solving future unanticipated problems? Bloom's Taxonomy is an attempt to classify types of learning from lower order to higher order. It ranges from simple recall to synthesis and evaluation.

Bloom's Taxonomy is an attempt to classify types of learning from lower order to higher order. It ranges from simple recall to synthesis and evaluation.
[http://web.missouri.edu/jonassend/ Jonassen] believes that the goal of education is to learn the skills needed for solving real world problems, such problems are ill-defined in that they have multiple or no solutions and they are cross-disciplinary.
The idea of [http://billkerr2.blogspot.com/2007/08/powerful-ideas-discourse.html non-universals] was started by Kay and furthered by Kerr. The idea being that all cultures spontaneously develop some ideas, for example art, but few cultures develop the more complex ideas, for example perspective drawing. The weakness in this analysis is that ideas might be very difficult to spontaneously generate but relatively easy to maintain in a culture. It does not necessarily give a guide as to how much teaching effort is required. It is however a useful way to look at powerful ideas.
