TAXONOMIES OF COGNITION OLD AND NEW

BLOOM’S TAXONOMY 1956 ANDERSON AND KRATHWOHL’S

REVISED TAXONOMY 2001
1. Knowledge: recalling information 1.Remembering: Learner’s ability to
or knowledge is the foundation of the recall information
pyramid and a precondition for all
future levels → Example: Name three
common types of meat.

2.Understanding: Learner’s ability
2. Comprehension: making sense out
to understand information
of information → Example:
Summarize the defining
characteristics of steak, pork, and
chicken.

3.Applying: Learner’s ability to use

3. Application: using knowledge in a
information in a new way
new but similar form → Example:
Does eating meat help improve
longevity?

4.Analyzing: Learner’s ability to
4. Analysis: taking knowledge apart
break down information into its
and exploring relationships
essential parts
→ Example: Compare and contrast
the different ways of serving meat
and compare health benefits.

5.Evaluating: Learner’s ability to
5. Synthesis: using information to
judge or criticize information
create something new → Example:
Convert an "unhealthy" recipe for
meat into a "healthy" recipe by
replacing certain ingredients. Argue
for the health benefits of using the
ingredients you chose as opposed to
the original ones.

6.Creating: Learner’s ability to create

6. Evaluation: critically examining
something new from different
relevant and available information to
elements of information
make judgments → Example: Which
kinds of meat are best for making a
healthy meal and why?
 Reflection Paper about Blooms Taxonomy

I already know that using Bloom's Taxonomy as a tool to encourage educators to

concentrate on the three areas of cognitive, emotional, and psychomotor development

There are certain talents that students must develop across all fields. Knowledge,
comprehension, and critical thought about a given issue are fundamental to the
cognitive domain. The taxonomy has six stages, moving from the lowest to the
highest order process. The knowledge, understanding, application, analysis,
evaluation, and synthesis levels make up these six categories. It discusses how
humans react emotionally and their capacity to perceive the emotions of other living
beings under the affective realm. It contains five levels, starting with the lowest level
receiving and ending with the greatest level characterizing.The responding, valuing,
and organizing levels are the other levels. The psychomotor domain is the final
domain. It speaks about the capacity to use a hand or a hammer or other physical tool
or instrument. The majority of the time, psychomotor objectives center on behavior
change, skill improvement, or all three. Although other educators developed their own
taxonomies, Bloom did not include any subcategories for psychomotor skills. It
includes observation, setting, directed reaction, mechanism, complicated overt
response, adaptability, and origination. Many teaching theories, especially those that
emphasize learning toward skills rather than material, are based on Bloom's
taxonomy. In order to ensure that all kinds of thought are engaged, Bloom's taxonomy
can be utilized as a teaching tool to balance assessment and evaluative questions in
lectures, assignments, and readings.
 Reflection Paper about Dale’s Cone of Experience

In Dale’s Cone Experience, I had learned that the Cone shows the progression of
experiences from the most concrete (at the bottom of the cone) to the most abstract (at
the top of the cone) which is right for me, this is because I believed that  learners
retain more information by what they “do” as opposed to what is “heard”, “read” or
“observed”. In this case, I am very impressed by his theory because the teacher’s will
have their ideas already on how to teach their lessons and use this kind of theory. 

In my experience, I had learned that his theory is very useful for me as a future
educator because it gave me a brief background on how to handle classroom
management. Upon engaging also in our activity, I had learned that Dale’s Cone of
experience is an interactive way of teaching my future students. That is why I am very
thankful that I was enrolled in this subject, Education Technology II because I knew
that I will not just learn all about Dale’s Cone of experience, I knew that I will gather
more information that I can be actualized in my future profession.

In conclusion, It is still important to know on how to handle the different kinds of

approaches mentioned in Dale’s cone of experience but I believed that as a future
educator we should be considerate in using this theory. We should apply those
theories depending on the needs of learners.
