Bloom’s taxonomy
What is a taxonomy
Taxonomy” simply means “classification”
Bloom’s aim was to classify
- forms of learning - levels or steps of learning.
Who is Bloom??
In 1956 Benjamin Bloom, an educational psychologist at the University of Chicago, proposed his Taxonomy of Educational Objectives
Bloom's Taxonomy represents the process of learning. It is simplified but essentially represents how we learn.
The three forms or domains of learning:
Cognitive
Affective
Psychomotor
Three forms or domains of learning:
• Cognitive: mental skills (Knowledge)
• Affective: growth in feelings (Attitudes)
• Psychomotor: manual/physical skills (Skills)
Cognitive domain
Divided into 6 categories/degrees of difficulty
Bloom’s Steps
Blooms taxonomy
Bloom’s Taxonomy
Cover the lower steps before addressing the higher levels
Lower Steps
Knowledge
(Remembering)
Recalling information, recognising, naming, finding
Comprehension
(understanding)
Grasping the meaning, explaining ideas, interpreting, summarising, paraphrasing, classifying
Application
(Applying)
Using information in another situation,
Implementing, carrying out, using, executing
Higher Steps
Analysis
(Analysing)
Breaking information down to explore relationships
Comparing, organising, finding, deconstructing
Synthesis
(Creating)
Create new ideas, products or ways of viewing things
Designing, constructing, planning, inventing, producing
Evaluation
(Evaluating)
Justifying a decision
Checking, hypothesising, critiquing, judging, experimenting
Bloom’s taxonomy at work … This is a site where
somebody has done the research and identified web based applications that give learners the opportunity to develop their higher order thinking skills
Verbs Activity
Each table will have a graphic template of the levels of
Bloom’s Taxonomy An envelope of Verbs
Match the verbs with the corresponding level on the diagram
Review of learning
Work out and map what we have done in this activity to Bloom’s taxonomy
Application
When might you use what you have learned about Bloom’s taxonomy??
Psychomotor domain
(Simpson 1972)Use of motor skills and includes coordination, physical movement
Psychomotor domain
Development of these skills areasRequires practice Is measured in terms of precision speed techniques
Affective domain
Way in which we dealwith feelings, values,motivations ,enthusiasms
