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).
6
What is the importance of bloom’s
verbs at the top of your lesson?
 Using verbs and actions allows
educators to encourage success
through each level of thinking
and accurately measure
learning.
7
The Three Domains of Learning
 Cognitive: mental skills (knowledge)
 Affective: growth in feelings or
emotional areas (attitude or self)
 Psychomotor: physical skills (skills)
8
Bloom’s Taxonomy Cognitive Domain
 The Cognitive Process
Dimension represents a
continuum of increasing
cognitive complexity—from
lower order thinking skills to
higher order thinking skills.
