Bloom’s Taxonomy
Depth of knowledge (DOK)
Benjamin Bloom
 Taxonomy of Educational
Objectives (1956)
 Various types of learning
outcomes within the
cognitive domain
 Objectives could be classified
according to type of learner behavior
described
 A hierarchical relationship exists
among the various types of
outcomes
Evaluation
Synthesis
Analysis
Application
Comprehension
Knowledge
Bloom’s Original Taxonomy
Ask students to demonstrate:
 Evaluation - assess and criticize on
basis of standards and criteria
 Synthesis - combine and integrate parts
of prior knowledge into a product, plan,
or proposal that is new
 Analysis - show s/he can see
relationships
 Application - use learning in a new
situation
 Comprehension - show understanding
 Knowledge - recall information in
original form

 Where – What – Who – How many – Point
to…
 Comprehension or Understanding –
 Tell me in your own words – What does it
mean?
 Give me an example, describe, illustrate

WHY or WHY not?
 Select the best – WHY?
 Which person in history would you
most like to meet – and WHY?

 Analysis – Ability to see parts/relationships
 What other ways…? Similar/Different (Venn)
 Interpretation – What kind of person…? What caused the person
to react in this way…? What part was most exciting, sad…?
 Synthesis – Parts of information to create original whole

DOK Levels 1 & 2: Common Core
State Standards (CCSS)
 Recall and Reproduction: Level 1
DOK 1 requires recall of information, such as a fact,
definition, or term, or performance of a simple process
or procedure.
 Skills and Concepts: Level 2
DOK 2 includes the engagement of some mental
processing beyond recalling or reproducing a response.
Items require students to make some decisions as to
how to approach the question or problem.
DOK Levels 3 & 4: CCSS
Strategic Thinking: Level 3
 DOK 3 requires deep understanding as exhibited
through planning, using evidence, and more demanding
cognitive reasoning. The cognitive demands at Level 3
are complex and abstract.
 Extended Thinking: Level 4
DOK 4 requires high cognitive demand and is very
complex. Students are expected to make connections –
relate ideas within the content or among content areas –
and have to select or devise one approach among many
alternatives on how to solve the problem.
