COGNITIVE ASSESMENT
Cognitive domain related to the learner’s thinking. This objective emphasizes
remembering or reproducing something which has been learned. Cognitive objectives
vary from simple recall of material learned to highly original and creative ways of
combining and synthesizing new ideas and material. Bloom’s taxonomy focused on
describing levels of attainments rather than process skills, and did not substantially
address the manner in which the learner proceeds from one level to the next. The
cognitive domain includes skill clusters that organize a complete, concise, and
complementary listing of the learning skills most critical for each process. The newer
version (2001) of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning has a number of added features
that can be very useful to educators as they try to construct optimal learning
experiences.
The cognitive domain involves the development of our mental skills and the
acquisition of knowledge. The six categories under this domain are:
1. Knowledge: The capacity to remember data and/or information is known as
knowledge.
A child, for example, recites the English alphabet.
2. Comprehension: The capacity to comprehend what is understood is referred
to as comprehension.
A teacher, for example, discusses a principle in his own terms.
3. Application: The ability to apply an abstraction or information in a new
situation is referred to as application.
Example : When a nurse intern interacts with patients, she uses what she
learned in psychology class.
4. Analysis : the ability to differentiate between reality and opinions.
For example, a prosecutor was able to win a case by recognizing logical
fallacies in the offender's argument.
 5. Synthesis: Synthesis the ability to integrate different elements or concepts in
order to form a sound pattern or structure so a new meaning can be
established.
Examples: A therapist combines yoga, biofeedback and support group therapy
in creating a care plan for his patient.
6. Evaluation: Evaluation is the ability to come up with judgments about the
importance of concepts.
Examples: A businessman selects the most efficient way of selling products.

Teachers and students must be aware of the cognitive domain's hierarchy of

processes and abilities in order to appreciate prerequisite skills for learning as well as
how these skills must be adapted to master more difficult elements of discipline-
specific concept inventories.
