The document summarizes revisions made to Bloom's Taxonomy of learning domains. The original taxonomy developed in 1956 categorized learning objectives using nouns. It was revised in 2001 to use active verbs and be more relevant for teachers. The categories were renamed and the hierarchy was adjusted with Synthesis and Evaluation changing places. The revised taxonomy is also two-dimensional, with knowledge and cognitive process dimensions instead of being one-dimensional. It provides examples of applying the taxonomy to the story of Goldilocks.

6. New Terms Analyzing Breaking material into constituent parts, determining how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure of purpose through differentiating, organizing, and attributing Evaluating Making judgments based on criteria and standards through checking and critiquing Creating Putting elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; recognizing elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning, or producing Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001, pp. 67-68
