• Science of organizing
things and classifying
them according to
various criteria.

MRS. POOJA GODIYAL


BLOOM’S TAXONOMY

• Created by Benjamin Bloom in
1956
• Revised in 2001, by a former student
of Bloom’s, Lorin Anderson, who
led a group of assessment
specialists, curriculum theorists, and
psychologists.

MRS. POOJA GODIYAL


• Bloom’s taxonomy is based on the
belief that learners must begin by
learning basic, foundational
knowledge about a given
subject before they can progress to
more complex types of thinking such
as analysis and evaluation.

MRS. POOJA GODIYAL


DEFINITION 

• Bloom’s taxonomy is a classification system used to define

and distinguish different levels of human cognition—i.e.,

thinking, learning, and understanding.

MRS. POOJA GODIYAL


• Help educators to inform or guide the development of
assessments (tests and other evaluations of student learning),
curriculum (units, lessons, projects, and other learning
activities), and instructional methods such as questioning
strategies.

MRS. POOJA GODIYAL


These domains are also referred to
by the acronym KSA, as follows: 

• K = Knowledge (cognitive)

• S = Skills (psychomotor)

• A = Attitudes (affective) 

MRS. POOJA GODIYAL


COGNITIVE DOMAIN

The six levels of the original Bloom’s


taxonomy -  Modified now -

• Knowledge • Remember

• Comprehension • Understand
• Apply
• Application
• Analyze
• Analysis
• Evaluate
• Synthesis
• Create
• Evaluation 
MRS. POOJA GODIYAL
PSYCHOMOTOR
• Students develop physical or manual
skills, such as the use of motor skills,
coordination, and physical
movement.

• Depending on the age group or


setting, psychomotor skills can
include anything from dressing a
wound to operating heavy machinery.
These skills are measured in terms of
procedures, technique, precision, and
speed.  MRS. POOJA GODIYAL
AFFECTIVE DOMAIN
• Concerns the emotions of feelings that students have a subject and
themselves.
• For example, in a medical setting, the affective domain may assess a
student’s ability to demonstrate empathy. In a classroom setting, the
students’ ability to participate in discussions may be evaluated.

Level 1
Remember: To recall facts and ideas
• Can the learners remember key facts and terminology?   
• There is just rote memorization and recollection of facts without much
understanding,
• Example activities at the Remembering level: memorize a poem, recall
state capitals, remember math formulas

MRS. POOJA GODIYAL


• For example, If we learn about
lemons, we want to remember the
name, shape, colour, size and that
they are sour. Once we memorize
these essentially meaningless facts
we move to the second level of
learning.

MRS. POOJA GODIYAL
