bloom taxonomy the old and the revised one by Benjamin Bloom

1. BLOOMS
TAXONOMY

2. Bloom's taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models
used to classify educational learning objectives into
levels of complexity and specificity. The three lists cover
the learning objectives in cognitive, affective and sensory
domains. The cognitive domain list has been the primary
focus of most traditional education and is frequently used
to structure curriculum learning objectives, assessments
and activities.
Bloom's Taxonomy was created in 1956 under the
leadership of educational psychologist Dr Benjamin
Bloom in order to promote higher forms of thinking in
education, such as analyzing and evaluating concepts,
processes, procedures, and principles, rather than just
remembering facts (rote learning). It is most often used
when designing educational, training, and learning
processes.

4. During the 1990’s, Lorin Anderson and a
group of cognitive psychologists updated
the taxonomy.
This taxonomy had permeated teaching and
instructional planning for almost 50 years before
it was revised in 2001. And although these
crucial revisions were published in 2001,
surprisingly there are still educators who have
never heard of Anderson and Krathwohl or their
important work in relation to Bloom’s Cognitive
Taxonomy. Both of these primary authors were
in a perfect position to orchestrate looking at the
classic taxonomy critically. They called together
a group of educational psychologists and
educators to help them with the revisions. Lorin
Anderson was once a student of the famed
Benjamin Bloom, and David Krathwohl was one
of Bloom’s partners as he devised his classic
cognitive taxonomy.

5. REVISED TAXONOMY

6. As you will see the
primary differences
are not in the listings
or rewordings from
nouns to verbs, or in
the renaming of some
of the components, or
even in the re-
positioning of the last
two categories.

7. The major differences lie in
the more useful and
comprehensive additions of
how the taxonomy intersects
and acts upon different types
and levels of knowledge —
factual, conceptual,
procedural and
metacognitive.

8. Bloom’s Taxonomy helps us to focus on the main points we want to
achieve with our students. This way we will always be on the right
path and our students will be aware of it also. Bloom shows that by
teaching LOTS (Lower Thinking Skills) to our students, they will re-
produce the knowledge given but they won’t acquire it. Otherwise,
when teaching HOTS (High Order Thinking Skills), our students will
understand the meaning, apply it somehow, express themselves,
synthesize and create something of their own using the knowledge
given.
