This document summarizes Bloom's Taxonomy, which categorizes learning objectives into six domains: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating. The lowest level is Remembering, which involves recalling facts and basic concepts. Understanding goes a step further and means grasping the meaning of material, such as by explaining or summarizing. Applying refers to using learned material in new situations, like solving problems or demonstrating procedures. Analyzing breaks concepts down into their component parts to understand organizational structure. Evaluating requires making judgments based on criteria. The highest level is Creating, which involves combining elements in new ways, such as designing or revising processes.

2. DOMAINS OF LEARNING

5. Remembering
• Represents the lowest level of learning
outcomes in the cognitive domain.
• Recalling memorized information.
• Learning objectives at this level:
know common terms, know specific facts,
know methods and procedures, know basic
concepts, know principles.
• Question verbs: Define, list, label, name,
who? when? where? what?

6. Understanding
Goes one step beyond the simple remembering of material.
The ability to grasp the meaning of material.
Translating material from one form to another. Interpreting
material (explaining or summarizing).
Learning objectives at this level: understand facts and
principles, interpret charts and graphs, justify methods and
procedures.
Question verbs: Explain, interpret, infer, summarize, convert,
translate, give example, paraphrase x?

7. Applying
Application
The ability to use learned material in new and concrete situations.
Applying rules, methods, concepts, principles, laws, and theories.
Learning objectives at this level: apply concepts and principles to new
situations, apply laws and theories to practical situations, solve mathematical
problems, construct graphs and charts, demonstrate the correct usage of a
method or procedure.
Question verbs: How could x be used to y? How would you show, make use
of, modify, demonstrate, solve, or apply x to conditions y?

8. Analyzing
Separates material or concepts into component parts so that
its organizational structure may be understood.
The ability to break down material into its component parts.
Identifying parts, analysis of relationships between parts.
Key Words: analyzes, breaks down, compares, contrasts,
differentiates, discriminates, distinguishes, separates.

9. Evaluating
Make judgments about the value of ideas or materials
Examples: Select the most effective solution.
Hire the most qualified candidate.
Explain and justify a new budget
Question verbs: Justify, appraise, evaluate, judge x according to
given criteria. Which option would be better/preferable to
party y?

10. Creating
Builds a structure or pattern from diverse elements. Put
parts together to form a whole, with emphasis on creating a
new meaning or structure
Examples:
Design a machine to perform a specific task.
Revises and process to improve the outcome
Question Verbs:
composes, creates, devises, designs, modifies, organizes,
plans, rearranges, reconstructs, reorganizes, revises,
rewrites, summarizes, writes
