Bloom's Taxonomy is a widely recognized framework in education, developed by Benjamin

Bloom in the 1950s and revised later by other educators. The framework elaborated by
Bloom and his collaborators consisted of six major categories: Knowledge, Comprehension,
Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. The categories after Knowledge were
presented as “skills and abilities,” with the understanding that knowledge was the necessary
precondition for putting these skills and abilities into practice.

The taxonomy is structured into six levels, each representing a different depth of
understanding and thinking ability. These levels are often visualized as a pyramid, with the
lower-order thinking skills at the base and higher-order thinking skills at the peak.

1. At the foundational level, we have Remembering. This involves recalling information,

facts, or concepts without necessarily understanding their significance. Examples
include memorizing dates, formulas, or vocabulary words.
2. Moving up, Understanding requires comprehension of the material. It involves
grasping the meaning of information, paraphrasing, or explaining ideas in one's own
words. Students demonstrate understanding by interpreting, summarizing, or
explaining concepts.
3. Applying is the next level, where individuals use acquired knowledge in new
situations. They can apply learned concepts, theories, or techniques in practical or
novel scenarios. This level focuses on the ability to use information rather than just
understand or remember it.
 4. Analyzing involves breaking down information into its constituent parts to
understand its organizational structure, identifying patterns, relationships, or
underlying concepts. This level requires students to differentiate between elements
and draw connections among them.
5. Evaluating in Bloom's Taxonomy means making judgments about information or
ideas based on evidence, reasoning, or criteria. It's like being a detective: you look
closely at things, compare them, and decide what's good or bad, true or false. You're
basically weighing different options or opinions to make your own informed decision.
It's about being critical and fair while figuring out what makes sense or what's most
valuable.
6. Finally, Creating is the highest level, involving the synthesis of knowledge to
generate original ideas or solutions. This requires combining elements in novel ways,
designing, planning, or inventing something new based on the acquired
understanding.

1. Factual Knowledge: Basic elements of a discipline that a student must know

and be able to work with to solve problems including basic terminology and
specific details and elements.
2.
Conceptual Knowledge: Interrelationships between basic factual knowledge that
demonstrate how elements work together, for example, classifications and
categories, principles and generalizations, and theories, models, and structures.

3 Procedural Knowledge: How something is done including the methods of inquiry,

skills, algorithms, techniques, and methods needed to investigate, apply, or analyze
information.

4 Metacognitive Knowledge: Awareness and knowledge of one’s own cognition

including strategies for learning, contextual and conditional knowledge about
cognitive tasks, and self-knowledge.

Teachers often use Bloom's Taxonomy to structure lesson plans, assessments, and learning
objectives. By doing so, they can ensure that their teaching covers various levels of thinking,
promoting a deeper understanding of the subject matter rather than just memorization.
In the revised version of Bloom's Taxonomy by Anderson and Krathwohl, the levels were
redefined and expanded upon to incorporate new understandings of cognition. This revised
taxonomy focused more on verbs associated with each level, making it easier for educators
to create specific learning objectives.

Understanding Bloom's Taxonomy helps educators create well-rounded lesson plans that
encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and a deeper understanding of
concepts among students. It's a versatile tool that supports more effective teaching and
learning processes.
This taxonomy outlined the progression of cognitive skills from simpler to more complex
levels of thinking, providing a framework for educators to design learning objectives and
assess student understanding across different depths of knowledge.
