Study Notes

Bloom's Taxonomy

Bloom's Taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models created by Dr. Benjamin Bloom to promote higher forms of thinking in education, such as evaluating and analyzing concepts, processes, procedures, and principles.

What is Bloom's Taxonomy?

Bloom's Taxonomy is a methodology for helping teachers to ask their students questions to ascertain how much they know.

Levels of Bloom's Taxonomy

Remembering: the most basic level, requiring students to reiterate what has been learned.
Understanding: a little more in-depth, requiring students to summarize and apply their own thinking and knowledge.
Applying: challenging students to take what they've learned, evaluate it, and then apply it.
Analysing: requiring students to be more aware of how things work, and the mechanics and different components behind processes.
Evaluating: asking students to develop their opinions and personal responses to the topic.
Creating: asking more hypothetical questions, moving into the realm of "what if?"
