The document discusses Bloom's Taxonomy, which divides learning into cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. It focuses on the cognitive domain, which has six levels - knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

Objectives and assessments should incorporate higher order thinking skills from all levels to encourage critical thinking.
