Bloom's Taxonomy

A framework classifying educational learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity. It covers Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor domains.

Cognitive Domain

Focuses on intellectual skills, including knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

Knowledge (Cognitive)

Recalling specific facts, terms, concepts, and principles.

Comprehension (Cognitive)

Understanding the meaning of information, interpreting, translating, and summarizing.

Study Notes

  • Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework for classifying educational learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity
  • It covers three domains: Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor

Cognitive Domain

  • Focuses on intellectual skills
  • Includes knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation

Knowledge

  • Recall of information
  • Involves remembering specific facts, terms, concepts, and principles
  • Example: Recalling the capital of France

Comprehension

  • Understanding the meaning of information
  • Includes interpreting, translating, and summarizing
  • Example: Explaining the process of photosynthesis

Application

  • Using knowledge in new situations
  • Applying learned information to solve problems
  • Example: Using Ohm's Law to calculate electrical current

Analysis

  • Breaking down information into component parts
  • Includes identifying motives or causes
  • Making inferences and finding evidence to support generalizations
  • Example: Analyzing the causes of the French Revolution

Synthesis

  • Combining different ideas to create something new
  • Involves creating a new product, plan, or idea
  • Example: Designing a new type of solar panel

Evaluation

  • Judging the value of information or ideas
  • Includes making judgments based on criteria and standards
  • Example: Evaluating the effectiveness of a government policy

Affective Domain

  • Focuses on emotional and attitudinal growth
  • Includes receiving, responding, valuing, organizing, and internalizing values

Receiving

  • Willingness to pay attention
  • Includes awareness, willingness to hear, and selective attention
  • Example: Listening to a lecture about climate change

Responding

  • Active participation
  • Includes compliance, willingness to respond, and satisfaction in responding
  • Example: Participating in a class discussion

Valuing

  • Attaching value to an object, phenomenon, or piece of information
  • Includes acceptance, preference, and commitment
  • Example: Advocating for environmental protection

Organizing

  • Integrating new values into one's general set of values
  • Includes conceptualizing values and organizing a value system
  • Example: Prioritizing environmental sustainability in personal decisions

Internalizing Values

  • Having a value system that controls behavior
  • Includes generalized set and characterization
  • Example: Consistently acting in an environmentally responsible manner

Psychomotor Domain

  • Focuses on physical skills
  • Includes perception, set, guided response, mechanism, complex overt response, adaptation, and origination

Perception

  • Ability to use sensory cues to guide motor activity
  • Includes sensory stimulation, cue selection, and translation
  • Example: Detecting the subtle differences in sound when playing a musical instrument

Set

  • Readiness to act
  • Includes mental, physical, and emotional sets
  • Example: Being mentally prepared to perform a surgery

Guided Response

  • Imitation and trial and error
  • Includes imitation and trial and error
  • Example: Learning to type by following instructions

Mechanism

  • Basic proficiency
  • Includes confidence and accuracy when performing a skill
  • Example: Operating a computer efficiently

Complex Overt Response

  • Expert performance
  • Includes automaticity and adaptation
  • Example: Playing a piano concerto flawlessly

Adaptation

  • Ability to modify learned skills to new situations
  • Includes altering and adjusting
  • Example: Adapting a cooking recipe based on available ingredients

Origination

  • Creating new movement patterns
  • Includes constructing new skills
  • Example: Inventing a new dance routine

Levels of Learning

  • Each domain has a hierarchy of levels
  • Progression through these levels indicate deeper and more complex learning

Educational Objectives

  • Bloom's Taxonomy helps educators define and classify educational objectives
  • Objectives are measurable statements that describe what a student should be able to do upon completion of a course
  • Taxonomy ensures a comprehensive and balanced curriculum
  • Objectives can be written to target different levels of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills
  • It can be used to align assessments with learning goals
  • Taxonomy is adaptable and can be applied across subjects and educational settings
  • Focus is on promoting higher-order thinking skills
