Bloom's Taxonomy and Critical Thinking go hand in hand.

 Bloom's taxonomy
takes students through a thought process of analysing information or
knowledge critically.  Bloom's taxonomy begins with knowledge/memory and
slowly pushes students to seek more information based upon a series of
levels of questions and keywords that brings out an action on the part of
the student.  Both critical thinking and Bloom's taxonomy are necessary to
education and meta-cognition.
