Study Notes

Bloom's Taxonomy

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.

Purpose of Bloom's Taxonomy

To help teachers ask students questions to ascertain how much they know and understand.
To promote higher forms of thinking in education, moving beyond simply remembering facts.

The Six Levels of Bloom's Taxonomy

Remembering

The most basic level of Bloom's model, requiring students to recall previously learned or imparted information.
Questions at this level: "True or false?", "Who/What/When/Where?" format.

Understanding

Requires students to comprehend the meaning of learned information and summarize it in their own words.
Questions at this level: "Can you explain why?", "Can you summarize what you've learned?"

Applying

Challenges students to take what they've learned, evaluate it, and apply it to new situations.
Questions at this level: "Can you think of comparable alternatives?", "How would you apply this in a real-life situation?"

Analysing

Requires students to break down information, understand how it's structured, and identify relationships between different elements.
Questions at this level: "How does this work?", "What are the relationships between different elements?"

Evaluating

Requires students to develop their own opinions and personal responses to the topic, evaluating information and making judgments.
Questions at this level: "What would you have done in this situation?", "How do you feel about this topic?"

Creating

The highest level, requiring students to generate creative solutions to problems based on learned information.
Questions at this level: "What if...", "Can you design a new solution to this problem?"

Benjamin Bloom

An American educational psychologist born in 1913.
Created the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives in 1956, which contained Bloom's model.

Mastery Learning

A theoretical framework proposed by Bloom, where children's failure to grasp or master a lesson is seen as a failing of the instruction or teaching, not a lack of ability.
