2. Blooms taxonomy of
educational objectives

3. Overview
• Definition
• Taxonomies of Educational Objectives
• Domains of Educational Objectives
• Bloom's taxonomy overview
Cognitive domain
Affective domain
Psychomotor domain

4. Definition
• According to TANNER, “Taxonomy system is a designed one to classify
the intended behaviors of students as a result of participating in some set
of instructional experience and used to obtain evidence on the extent to
which such behaviors are manifested.”
• Taxonomy defines as a hierarchical model that describes a
1. Classification and
2. Sequencing procedures.

5. Taxonomies of Educational Objectives
• A taxonomy is a classification system (first part) developed by Dr.
Benjamin S Bloom an educational psychologist at university of Chicago
(1956) to achieve the desired educational goals.
• Bloom's Taxonomy provides an excellent structure for planning, designing,
assessing and evaluating training and learning effectiveness.

6. Domains of Educational Objectives
• Intellectual activity
Cognitive
• Feeling and value
Affective
• Manipulative and motor skills
Psychomotor

9. Cognitive domain
Level 1: knowledge
• This level is related to the remembering of previously learned material and
represents the lowest level of learning outcomes in the cognitive domain.
• ACTION VERB related to thus level of objectives are: Define, state, list,
name, write, Outline, recall, recognize, label, underline, select, measure,
describe, identify, etc.

10. Examples
1. Define

the
different
comfort
measures
in a
hospital.
6.
Describe
the
functions
of a
stomach.

11. Level 2. Comprehension
• This level represents the learning outcome one step beyond simple
understanding as evidenced by the learners ability to make limited
use of information in the form of translation, interpretation and
extrapolation.
• TYPICAL VERBS used at this level are: Justify, select, indicate,
illustrate, formulate, classify, translate, convert, contrast, explain etc.

12. Examples
1. Classify the
the skeleton
system.

degree
Celsius into

importance of
nutrition
6. Write the
types of
vitamins.
3. Explain the
role of a nurse
in health
education.

13. Level 3. Application
• This is the ability to use learned material such as rules, principles,
concepts etc. to new and real situations.
• VERBS USED are: Assess, Choose, Find, show, demonstrate, construct,
compute, perform, discover, prepare, produce, relate etc.

14. Examples
1. Demonstrate
the bed making
procedure.
3. Construct an
attitude scale on
smoking.
2. Assess
the nutritional
status of an
infant.
5. Prepare a
lesson plan
on ill effects
of smoking.
4. Compute the
knowledge on
smoking with
selected
demographic
variables.

15. Level 4. Analysis
• This refers to the ability to break down information into its components
parts, which may be elements of information, relationships between
elements or organization and structure of information. Analysis helps to
separate important aspects of information from the less important thus
clarifying the meaning.
• Action verbs at this levels are: Analyze, identify, conclude, differentiate,
select, separate, compare, criticize, breakdown etc.

16. Examples
1. Distinguish
between
guidance &
counselling.

the warning
signs of
Meningitis.
5. Resolve
the problem
and give
suggestions.
3. Differentiate
between
gastric &
peptic ulcer.

17. Level 5. Synthesis
• At this level the learner is expected to combine various parts to form a whole. Learning
outcomes in this area stress creative behaviors with major emphasis on the formulation
of new patterns or structures.
• Develop new unique structures, systems, models, approaches, ideas; creative thinking,
operations
• Action verbs at this levels are: develop, plan, build, create, design, organize, revise,
formulate, propose, establish, assemble, integrate, re arrange, modify

18. Examples
Integrate
methods,
Design
solutions,
Create
teams or
new
approaches,
Write
protocols or
contingencies
Develop
plans or
procedures

19. Level 6. Evaluation

outputs, efficacy, viability; critical thinking, strategic comparison
and review, judgement relating to external criteria
• Action verbs at this levels are: review, justify, assess, present a
case for, defend, report on, investigate, direct, appraise, argue,

26. Level 5. Organization
•This level is concerned with the ability to organize values

of their life.
•Verbs applicable to this level are: Acts,
displays, discriminates, listens etc.
Ex:
Displays
confidence
in caring
terminally
clients.

28. Psycho motor domain
Level 1. Impulsion
• This level tends to act on mental impulses, which is
concerned with the perception of sensory cues that guide
actions and ranges from awareness of stimuli to
translation into action.
• Action Verbs are: Detect, choose, identify.
Ex: Detect
the early
signs of
Decubitus
ulcer.

29. Level 2. Imitation
• This level refers to imitation of an action
performance. When the learner is exposed to
an observable action, he begins to make
convert imitation of that action.
• Typical Verbs are: Begins, moves, reacts,
shows, starts etc.
Ex: Reacts
promptly to
emergency
situation.

30. Level 3. Manipulation
• At this level the learner is capable of performing
an act according to instruction rather than only by
observation, as in the case at the level of
imitation. This level is also called as guided
response.
• Typical Verbs are: Carryout, perform, calculate
etc.
Ex: perform bed
making as
demonstrated by
the teacher.

31. Level 4. Coordination
• At this level skill is carried out smoothly
within a reasonable time frame to achieve
coordination. Here coordination is
emphasized by establishing an appropriate
sequence, by achieving harmony or
internal consistency among different acts.
Ex: Performs E.T.
intubation
correctly.

32. Level 5. Control
• Here the skills are internalized to such an
extent that the students can adapt them to
cater for special circumstances.
• Typical Verbs are: Adapts, alters, modifies
reorganizes etc.
Ex: Modifies
sterilization
technique
according to the
article to be
sterilized.

33. Level 6. Habit formation
• At this level an act is performed
automatically without involvement of
consciousness.
• Typical Verbs Are: walk, swing, hold,
swallow etc.
Ex: Walks
slowly without
any support.

34. Summary
• Bloom's taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models
used for classification of educational learning objectives
into levels of complexity and specificity. The three lists
cover the learning objectives in cognitive, affective and
psychomotor domains.

35. Conclusion
• Bloom's Taxonomy is a valuable tool for
education because it provides a framework for
educators and cognitive psychologists to
communicate about fundamental educational
concepts.
