Bloom's Taxonomy
Bloom's Taxonomy
Bloom in the 1950s and revised later by other educators. The framework elaborated by
Bloom and his collaborators consisted of six major categories: Knowledge, Comprehension,
Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. The categories after Knowledge were
presented as “skills and abilities,” with the understanding that knowledge was the necessary
precondition for putting these skills and abilities into practice.
The taxonomy is structured into six levels, each representing a different depth of
understanding and thinking ability. These levels are often visualized as a pyramid, with the
lower-order thinking skills at the base and higher-order thinking skills at the peak.
Teachers often use Bloom's Taxonomy to structure lesson plans, assessments, and learning
objectives. By doing so, they can ensure that their teaching covers various levels of thinking,
promoting a deeper understanding of the subject matter rather than just memorization.
In the revised version of Bloom's Taxonomy by Anderson and Krathwohl, the levels were
redefined and expanded upon to incorporate new understandings of cognition. This revised
taxonomy focused more on verbs associated with each level, making it easier for educators
to create specific learning objectives.
Understanding Bloom's Taxonomy helps educators create well-rounded lesson plans that
encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and a deeper understanding of
concepts among students. It's a versatile tool that supports more effective teaching and
learning processes.
This taxonomy outlined the progression of cognitive skills from simpler to more complex
levels of thinking, providing a framework for educators to design learning objectives and
assess student understanding across different depths of knowledge.
