Bloom's taxonomy categorizes levels of learning into six major categories from simplest to most complex: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Each category provides examples of verbs and learning activities. The categories move from recalling facts to creating new structures or solutions. The taxonomy provides a framework for setting learning objectives and assessing learning outcomes.

2. What is Bloom's taxonomy of learning?

12. Cognitive Domain
• RECALL OR RECOGNITION of specific
- FACTS,
- PROCEDURAL PATTERNS,
- AND CONCEPTS

13. There are SIX major categories of cognitive
processes,
starting from the simplest to the most complex
• Knowledge
• Comprehension
• Application
• Analysis
• Synthesis
• Evaluation

15. Mental effort required by a
user to –analyse
- process and
-understand ---------
information and any barriers
or obstacles they encounter
while doing so

16. and unless you do something
non-mental for a change (like,
hang out with your family,
your brain powers would not
restore just so.

22. The insidious sources of cognitive bummers can be
broken down into 3 groups:
Process-related
• e.g. - too many meetings,
• unfocused online messaging
as opposed to face-to-face talks,
• not knowing who to go to
and where to report to
if there's an issue that needs
