Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification system that categorizes learning objectives into three domains: Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor. Within the Cognitive domain are six categories of learning objectives ranging from remembering to evaluating. The taxonomy helps educators develop learning outcomes, create lesson plans, and design assessments to observe student learning. It is a widely used framework in education to facilitate setting goals and measuring the achievement of learning objectives.

1. BLOOM TAXONOMY
Bloom’s Taxonomy is a classification of the different outcomes and skills that educators set for their
students (learning outcomes). The taxonomy was proposed in 1956 by Benjamin Bloom.
 Cognitive: It corresponds to the mental abilities of a person. It is divided into six
learning objectives which are explained below in this article in detail.
 Affective: It involves emotional areas and growth in feelings. Like cognitive
domain, this level comprises of five categories. These five categories are
receiving, responding, valuing, organization and characterization.
 Psychomotor: Psychomotor domain encompasses physical or manual skills
which require practice. These skills are measured against factors such as speed,
precision, distance, procedures, or techniques in execution.
Bloom’s taxonomy is a powerful tool to help develop learning outcomes because it explains the
process of learning:
 Before you can understand a concept, you must remember it.
 To apply a concept you must first understand it.
 In order to evaluate a process, you must have analyzed it.
 To create an accurate conclusion, you must have completed a thorough evaluation.
However, we don’t always start with lower order skills and step all the way through the entire
taxonomy for each concept you present in your course. That approach would become tedious–for
both you and your students! Instead, start by considering the level of learners in y our course
Bloom’s taxonomy is a hierarchical order of learning objectives that educators set for their
students
It is widely used in education and is also branded as the Taxonomy of Educational
Objectives. It facilitates the teachers to achieve their teaching objectives by setting
goals for the student learning and then creating assessments to observe the learning
outcomes. The use of bloom’s taxonomy is widespread among educators as it helps
them in:

2.  Creating lesson plans, learning activities and instructional strategies based on
the complexity of the subject matter
 Curriculum mapping and designing courses
 Creating assessments to measure the learning outcomes of the students
