Levels of Questions in the Cognitive Domain
- There are six levels of questions in the cognitive domain, as classified by Benjamin S. Bloom in his book "Taxonomy of Education Objective" (1956).
Knowledge Level

- Teachers should use these questions when introducing new topics or ideas to students.
Understanding Level
- Questions at this level require comprehension and understanding of concepts and knowledge.
- Teachers should ask these questions to facilitate understanding activities.
Application Level
- Questions at this level involve using information provided to students to apply their knowledge.
- These questions help students apply their knowledge through the information provided during teaching and learning activities.
Analysis Level
- Questions at this level require students to separate ideas and analyze information.
- Teachers need to guide students to follow the subject content and apply skills to answer these questions.
Synthesis Level
- Questions at this level require students to come up with new ideas using initial information.
- These questions require high-level skills, and teachers need to guide students to synthesize information.
Evaluation Level
