Benjamin Bloom developed a taxonomy of learning objectives that classifies thinking according to six levels, from simple to complex.

The three domains identified by Bloom are the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains.

The original levels of Bloom's Taxonomy are: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

BLOOMS TAXONOMY

In the 1950s, Benjamin


Bloom recognized that
there is more than one
type of learning, and
that different skills are
required at different
levels of learning.
Bloom identified three domains of educational
activities: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.
Domains can be thought of as categories.
The affective domain refers to attitude or the
perception of values.

The psychomotor domain was never completed


by Bloom and is related to the development of
manual or physical skills.

The cognitive domain is the one most used and


refers to knowledge or mental skills. We will be
concentrating on this domain.
Blooms taxonomy is a system for classifying
objectives, processes, principles, questions,
assignments, and facts in a hierarchy from simple
to complex, and from concrete to abstract.

It is a means of moving students along a


continuum of cognitive (thinking) abilities from
lower order thinking skills to higher order thinking
skills.
The original levels of Blooms
Taxonomy are:
knowledge
comprehension
application
analysis
synthesis
evaluation
In the 1990s a group lead by
Loren Anderson, one of Blooms
students, began revising the
chart and published the
Revised Blooms Taxonomy
in 2001.
The new, revised levels of
Blooms Taxonomy are:
remembering
understanding
applying
analyzing
evaluating
