Here's a brief history of Bloom's Taxonomy ¹:

- *1956*: Bloom’s Taxonomy was originally published in a paper titled


"Taxonomy of Educational Objectives" by Benjamin Bloom and colleagues.
The cognitive domain is the first and most common hierarchy of learning
objectives, focusing on acquiring and applying knowledge and widely used in
the educational setting.

- *1964*: The affective model came as a second handbook and an extension


of Bloom’s original work, focusing on the ways we handle emotions, such as
feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasm, motivations and attitudes.

- *1970*: Robert Armstrong and colleagues published the psychomotor


domain, which refers to the ability to physically manipulate a tool or
instrument and includes physical movement, coordination and use of the
motor-skill areas.

- *1972*: Anita Harrow proposed a revised version of the psychomotor


domain with six levels: reflex movements, fundamental movements,
perceptual abilities, physical abilities, skilled movements and non-discursive
communication.

- *2001*: The original cognitive model was modified by educational


psychologists David Krathwol and Lorin Anderson, emphasizing a more
dynamic approach to education instead of fixed, unchanging spaces. This
revised taxonomy utilizes verbs to describe the active process of learning
and does away with the nouns used in the original version.

A powerful tool for learning and teaching! Bloom’s Taxonomy is a framework


that categorizes learning objectives into six levels of complexity:

1. *Remembering*: Recall and memorize knowledge (e.g., facts, dates,


concepts)
2. *Understanding*: Comprehend and interpret knowledge (e.g., summarize,
describe, explain)

3. *Applying*: Use knowledge to solve problems or complete tasks (e.g.,


apply concepts, analyze, evaluate)

4. *Analyzing*: Break down knowledge into components, identify patterns


and relationships (e.g., compare, contrast, categorize)

5. *Evaluating*: Make judgments and justify decisions based on knowledge


(e.g., argue, defend, critique)

6. *Creating*: Generate new ideas, products, or solutions using knowledge


(e.g., design, invent, compose)

This taxonomy helps educators set clear goals and assessments, and enables
learners to develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Do you have a specific question or application in mind regarding Bloom’s


Taxonomy? I’m here to help!

Bloom’s Taxonomy has a wide range of applications in various fields,


including:

1. *Education*: Lesson planning, curriculum design, assessments, and


evaluations.

2. *Instructional Design*: Creating learning objectives, developing training


programs, and e-learning modules.

3. *Teaching*: Encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity


in the classroom.

4. *Learning Outcomes*: Defining and measuring student learning outcomes.

5. *Assessment*: Designing quizzes, tests, and exams that align with


learning objectives.

6. *Curriculum Development*: Organizing and structuring curriculum


content.
7. *Professional Development*: Training educators and professionals to
improve teaching and learning.

8. *Corporate Training*: Developing training programs for employees.

9. *Research*: Analyzing and evaluating educational research studies.

10. *Learning Management Systems*: Designing online learning platforms


and courses.

By applying Bloom’s Taxonomy, educators and trainers can:

- Create clear and measurable learning objectives

- Develop engaging and challenging learning activities

- Encourage higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills

- Assess and evaluate student learning effectively

- Improve teaching and learning practices

Overall, Bloom’s Taxonomy is a powerful tool for enhancing teaching,


learning, and assessment practices across various disciplines and fields.

Bloom’s Taxonomy can be effectively used in induction programs to:

1. _Set clear learning objectives_: Use Bloom’s Taxonomy to define specific,


measurable, and achievable learning outcomes for new employees.

2. _Structure training content_: Organize induction content into the six levels
of Bloom’s Taxonomy, progressing from basic knowledge to advanced skills.

3. _Develop engaging activities_: Create interactive and challenging


activities that align with each level of Bloom’s Taxonomy, promoting active
learning and employee engagement.

4. _Assess and evaluate_: Use Bloom’s Taxonomy to design assessments and


evaluations that measure new employees’ progress and understanding.
5. _Encourage critical thinking and problem-solving_: Incorporate higher-
order thinking skills from Bloom’s Taxonomy into induction training,
preparing new employees for real-world challenges.

6. _Support onboarding_: Use Bloom’s Taxonomy to create a structured


onboarding process, ensuring new employees acquire the necessary
knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

7. _Foster a learning culture_: Incorporate Bloom’s Taxonomy into induction


programs to promote a culture of continuous learning and professional
development.

By applying Bloom’s Taxonomy in induction programs, organizations can:

- Improve new employee retention and engagement

- Enhance job performance and productivity

- Develop a more skilled and competent workforce

- Encourage a culture of continuous learning and growth

Remember, Bloom’s Taxonomy is a flexible framework that can be adapted to


various induction programs, ensuring a comprehensive and effective learning
experience for new employees.

In conclusion, Bloom’s Taxonomy is a widely used framework in education


that categorizes learning objectives into six levels of complexity, from basic
to advanced. The original cognitive domain (1956) was followed by the
affective (1964) and psychomotor (1970) domains, providing a
comprehensive structure for learning and teaching.

Key takeaways:

- Bloom’s Taxonomy helps educators set clear goals and assessments.


- It enables learners to develop a deeper understanding of the subject
matter.

- The taxonomy promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.

- It has undergone revisions and expansions, including the 2001 revised


cognitive domain.

- Bloom’s Taxonomy remains a vital tool for effective teaching and learning
practices.

By understanding and applying Bloom’s Taxonomy, educators can create


engaging and challenging learning experiences that foster academic success
and lifelong learning.
