This document discusses Bloom's Taxonomy, which classifies educational goals into three domains: Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor. The Cognitive domain was revised by Anderson and Krathwohl in 2001 to better align with 21st century skills. The revised taxonomy has six levels within the Cognitive domain - Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating. Objectives are classified based on the type of knowledge (factual, conceptual, procedural, metacognitive) and cognitive process verb used. The document provides examples of verbs to write objectives for each cognitive process level.

3. Affective – emotional reactions; personal value impact3 Domains

4. Affective – emotional reactions; personal value impactPsychomotor – voluntary muscle control, ability to manipulate tools or instruments3 Domains

5. Affective – emotional reactions; personal value impactPsychomotor – voluntary muscle control, ability to manipulate tools or instrumentsCognitive – knowledge, comprehension and thinking skills3 Domains

6. Affective – emotional reactions; personal value impactPsychomotor – voluntary muscle control, ability to manipulate tools or instrumentsCognitive – knowledge, comprehension and thinking skills3 Domains“In real life, of course, behaviors from these three domains occur simultaneously. While students are writing (psychomotor), they are also remembering or reasoning (cognitive), and they are likely to have some emotional response to the task as well (affective),” (Woolfolk, 2010).

7. A Taxonomy for the Affective Domain

9. The Psychomotor DomainBloom did not develop any specific lists (taxonomies) for this domain.Educators have created their own subcategories.Most dominant in Physical Education, but also used in Fine Arts (think paint brush or musical instrument) and Special Education.

10. The Cognitive DomainThis is the taxonomy that we refer to as “Bloom’s Taxonomy”Revised by Lorin Anderson (a former student on Bloom’s) in the 1990’sRevision to add relevancy for the 21st Century.Subcategories changed from nouns to verbs.Top two subcategories are exchanged.The revised version also considers the dimension of knowledge.

11. Comparing the TaxonomiesOld Version (Bloom, Englehart, Frost, Hill & Krathwohl,1956)New Version(Anderson, L., D. Krathwohl, et al.2001)

12. Remembering: can the student recall or remember the information?The Cognitive Domain (new version)

13. Remembering: can the student recall or remember the information?Understanding: can the student explain ideas or concepts?The Cognitive Domain (new version)

14. Remembering: can the student recall or remember the information?Understanding: can the student explain ideas or concepts?Applying: can the student use the information in a new way?The Cognitive Domain (new version)

15. Remembering: can the student recall or remember the information?Understanding: can the student explain ideas or concepts?Applying: can the student use the information in a new way?Analyzing: can the student distinguish between the different parts?The Cognitive Domain (new version)

16. Remembering: can the student recall or remember the information?Understanding: can the student explain ideas or concepts?Applying: can the student use the information in a new way?Analyzing: can the student distinguish between the different parts?Evaluating: can the student justify a stand or decision?The Cognitive Domain (new version)

18. The Knowledge DimensionsFactual Knowledge – specific information, can be learned through memorization.Procedural Knowledge – how to do something, steps to completing a task.Conceptual Knowledge – relationships of information, the how and why.Metacognitive Knowledge – the thought process, how we learn.

19. The Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy

20. “Learning objectives must fall under one of the four categories under the knowledge dimension, and under one of the six categories of the cognitive process dimension. Use the noun in the objective to determine what is being learned: factual, conceptual, procedural, or meta-cognitive knowledge. The verb used in the learning objective will determine which cognitive process dimension column the objective falls under: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. Where the knowledge and cognitive process dimension intersect, is where the objective stands on the revised taxonomy table, (Cruz, E., 2003).”How to Use the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy Chart
