The document discusses Benjamin Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives. It introduces the three domains of Bloom's taxonomy: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. The cognitive domain deals with knowledge and intellectual abilities. It identifies six levels of complexity, from simple recall to evaluation. The affective domain concerns attitudes, values and interests. It identifies five levels from receiving to characterization. The psychomotor domain involves physical skills and coordination and identifies several levels of complexity. Bloom's taxonomy provides a framework to classify educational goals and objectives to help ensure congruence between goals, classroom activities and assessments across subjects and grade levels.

2. INTRODUCTION

3. TAXONOMY
 Taxonomy are classification systems
based on organizational scheme.
 In this instance , a set of carefully defined
terms organized from simple to complex
and form concrete to abstract, provide a
frame work of categories into which one
may classify educational goals.

4. IMPORTANCE OF TAXONOMY
 Provide a common language about educational
goals that can bridge subject matter and grade
level.
 Serve as ‘touch stone’ for specifying meaning of
broad educational goals for the class room.
 Help to determine the congruence of goals,
class room activities , and assessments.

5. IMPORTANCE OF TAXONOMY
(CONT..)
 Provide a panorama of the range of
possible educational goals against which
the limited breadth and depth of any
particular educational curriculum may be
contrasted.

9. 3 “domains” Of Bloom’s Taxonomy
 Bloom identified 3 “domains” of learning
that apply to the student.
Cognitive
Affective
Psychomotor

10. PSYCHOMOTOR
“about skill”
Concerned with
Psychomotor skills.
AFFECTIVE
“about attitudes and skills”
Concerned with attitudes,
Values, appreciations
and interests .
COGNITIVE
“about knowing”
Concerned with knowledge
and intellectual abilities.
THE THREE DOMAINS OF BLOOM’S TAXONOMY

11. THE COGNITIVE DOMAIN
 Bloom identified six levels within the cognitive
domain, from the simple recall or recognition of
facts, as the lowest level, through increasingly
more complex and abstract mental levels, to the
highest order which is classified as evaluation.
Each of which divided into subcategories also.
