Bloom's Taxonomy

Benjamin Bloom created a taxonomy of measurable verbs to classify different levels of cognitive activity and observable actions in students. The taxonomy includes six levels from basic recall and understanding to higher order thinking like analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Using measurable verbs related to the different levels in learning objectives makes explicit what students must do to demonstrate their learning.

BLOOM’s TAXONOMY

of measurable verbs
Benjamin Bloom created a taxonomy of measurable verbs to help us describe and classify observable knowl-
edge, skills, attitudes, behaviors and abilities. The theory is based upon the idea that there are levels of ob-
servable actions that indicate something is happening in the brain (cognitive activity.) By creating learning
objectives using measurable verbs, you indicate explicity what the student must do in order to demonstrate
learning.
