Study Notes
- Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework for categorizing educational goals.
- It was first published in 1956 by Benjamin Bloom and his collaborators.
- The taxonomy consists of six major categories: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation.
- The categories are presented as a continuum from simple to complex and concrete to abstract.
- In 2001, a group of cognitive psychologists revised the taxonomy, using verbs and gerunds to label the categories and subcategories.
- The revised taxonomy includes six cognitive processes: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create.
- Knowledge is at the basis of these six cognitive processes.
- The revised taxonomy also includes a separate taxonomy of the types of knowledge used in cognition.
- The taxonomy is widely used by K-12 teachers and college instructors.
- The taxonomy provides a dynamic conception of classification for teaching, learning, and assessment.
