This document provides an overview of Bloom's Taxonomy, which constructs an effective educational learning environment through explanation of learning methods, instructional guides, and interactive activities. It outlines the six levels of cognitive skills - Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating - and provides examples of verbs and activities for each level. The goal is to encourage higher-order learning and thinking. It also includes links to websites that demonstrate interactive uses of Bloom's Taxonomy.

1. Bloom’s Taxonomy
Kate Altman, Mukaila Ajayi, Pamela Foreman, Stephen George,
La’verne Godfrey-Jones, Pamela Gunn

2. Introduction
Constructs an effective
educational learning environment
by providing:
• Explanation of learning methods
• Instructional guides
• Encourages interactive activities
• Higher order of learning
Creating
Evaluating
Analyzing
Applying
Understanding
Remembering

3. Remembering
Behavioral/Instruction:
Teacher focused. Good instruction.
Provide action verbs to actively recall previously
learned knowledge:
Recognizing
Listing
Describing
Retrieving
Naming
Finding
Cognitive/Construction:
Student focused. Active construction.
Utilize the internet to research similar studies of
subject matters.

4. Example of “Remembering” by
association:
Being able to find topics, items,
etc. which are familiar with the
content will grant students the
opportunity to associate and
process the information to store in
his or her long term memory.

5. Understanding
Exhibits abilities to interpret,
summarize, paraphrase, classify
and explain objectives via
technology.

The video illustrates how
Bloom’s Taxonomy can be
effective in the classroom with
the proper use of action verbs
within the description of each
higher order of thinking.

7. Evaluate
• Evaluating: means to judge the method of values and materials a fixed
standard.
• Types of evaluations include
• Checking
• Critiquing
• Experimenting
• Judging
• Detecting
• Monitoring

8. Applying
Applying
Carrying out or using a procedure through executing or implementing.
Applying related and refers to situations where learned material is used
through products like models, presentation, interviews and simulations.

9. “Applying” Activities
A.) Learning objective: After identifying “slip and fall” hazards on your
college campus, propose preemptive safety fixes to minimize the risk to
students.
B.) Assessment activity: Learners will create a proposal that identifies
the hazards, lists the cause of each hazard, and provides suggestions on
how to mitigate the hazard risk.
C.) Potential delivery technologies: Learners will participate in a Virtual
Classroom discussion to learn how to identify and mitigate potential
hazards and how to create effective arguments that support that
mitigation.

10. Create
Create
Develop unique structures and systems to creative thinking operations.
• Creativity involves all facets of the taxonomy.
• Designing
• Constructing
• Planning
• Producing
• Inventing

11. Bloom’s Taxonomy Game
This video illustrates how SMART
notebook can be used to create a
review game based on the six
levels of Bloom's Taxonomy.
