Bloom\u2019s Taxonomy is a group of three hierarchical models of classification that structures learning objectives into varying degrees of intricacy. It covers objectives in cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains, ranging from basic knowledge and understanding to advanced evaluation and creation. The taxonomy was originally published in 1956 by a committee of educators chaired by Benjamin Bloom, an educational psychologist at the University of Chicago, after whom it is named.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After the cognitive domain, whose applications are predominantly relevant in a teaching-learning environment was devised, psychologists created further taxonomies to explain affective and psychomotor learning. To take into account and accurately represent the myriad active processes involved in learning, the initial taxonomy was improved and updated in 2001.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let us take a closer look at the cognitive domain of Bloom\u2019s taxonomy that breaks up learning objectives into six levels as listed below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These levels can be used to structure learning objectives while creating curriculum, lesson plans or assessments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
