Bloom’s Taxonomy
a presentation by
Sherry Taufer
EDUC 522 Professor Jeff McKendricks

A BIT OF HISTORY

Affective – emotional reactions; personal value impact
3 Domains

Psychomotor – voluntary muscle control, ability to manipulate tools or instruments
3 Domains

Cognitive – knowledge, comprehension and thinking skills
3 Domains

Cognitive – knowledge, comprehension and thinking skills
3 Domains
“In real life, of course, behaviors from these three domains occur simultaneously. While students are writing (psychomotor), they are also remembering or reasoning (cognitive), and they are likely to have some emotional response to the task as well (affective),” (Woolfolk, 2010).

A Taxonomy for the Affective Domain

The Psychomotor Domain
Bloom did not develop any specific lists (taxonomies) for this domain.
Educators have created their own subcategories.
Most dominant in Physical Education, but also used in Fine Arts (think paint brush or musical instrument) and Special Education.

The Cognitive Domain
This is the taxonomy that we refer to as “Bloom’s Taxonomy”
Revised by Lorin Anderson (a former student on Bloom’s) in the 1990’s
Revision to add relevancy for the 21st Century.
Subcategories changed from nouns to verbs.
Top two subcategories are exchanged.
The revised version also considers the dimension of knowledge.

Comparing the Taxonomies
Old Version
(Bloom, Englehart, Frost, Hill & Krathwohl,1956)
New Version
(Anderson, L., D. Krathwohl, et al.2001)

Remembering: can the student recall or remember the information?
The Cognitive Domain (new version)

Understanding: can the student explain ideas or concepts?

Applying: can the student use the information in a new way?

Analyzing: can the student distinguish between the different parts?

Evaluating: can the student justify a stand or decision?

Evaluating: can the student justify a stand or decision?
Creating: can the student create new product or point of view?

The Knowledge Dimensions
Factual Knowledge – specific information, can be learned through memorization.
Procedural Knowledge – how to do something, steps to completing a task.
Conceptual Knowledge – relationships of information, the how and why.
Metacognitive Knowledge – the thought process, how we learn.

The Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy

“Learning objectives must fall under one of the four categories under the knowledge dimension, and under one of the six categories of the cognitive process dimension. Use the noun in the objective to determine what is being learned: factual, conceptual, procedural, or meta-cognitive knowledge. The verb used in the learning objective will determine which cognitive process dimension column the objective falls under: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. Where the knowledge and cognitive process dimension intersect, is where the objective stands on the revised taxonomy table, (Cruz, E., 2003).”
How to Use the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy Chart

Remembering: Recognizing, recalling
Verbs to use for writing objectives

Understanding: Interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, explaining

Applying: Executing, implementing

Analyzing: Differentiating, organizing, attributing

Evaluating: Checking, critiquing

Evaluating: Checking, critiquing
Creating: Generating, planning, producing
