    Benjamin Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives

    Editorial Team
    theteacher.in

    In 1956, Benjamin Bloom led a group of educational psychologists.

    Stemming from the results of their research emerged a classification of

    thinking behaviours believed to be important in the learning process.


    Bloom postulated that abilities could be measured along a continuum

    running from simple to complex. The taxonomy of educational

    objectives is comprised of six levels, namely: knowledge,


    comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

    The table given below gives a brief explanation about the six levels of

    the taxonomy.
    Level Keywords

    Observe and recall information


    1. Knowledge Arrange, define, describe, match, order, memorize, name, note, repeat, questions
    (Who? What? When? Where?).

    Understand information, grasp meaning


    2. Comprehension Alter, change, classify, define in your own words, discuss, explain, extend, give
    examples, translate, etc.

    Use information, use methods


    3. Application Apply, calculate, compute, construct, operate, practice, write an example question (how
    many? Which? What is?).
    See patterns, organise parts
    4. Analysis Analyse, appraise, categorise, compare, conclude, contrast, criticize, diagnose,
    differentiate, etc.

    Use old ideas to create new ones


    5. Synthesis Assemble, compile, compose, create, improve, synthesize, what if, etc. Questions (How
    can we improve? What would happen if? How can we solve?).

    Compare and discriminate ideas


    6. Evaluation Appraise, argue, choose, certify, criticize, decide, deduce, defend, discriminate,
    estimate, evaluate, recommend, etc.

    Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives may be interesting for professors and instructors. They may conceive
    the educational activities and present information according to the six levels expressed by Bloom. Several of these
    activities may be taken into consideration when designing a course in a new learning environment.
