The document discusses different types of questions based on Bloom's Taxonomy. Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification system for learning objectives and was originally proposed in 1956, categorizing objectives into knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. It was revised in 2001 to include remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. The document provides examples of question types that fall under each level of Bloom's revised Taxonomy, from lower-order thinking like remembering to higher-order thinking like creating. It also discusses other categorizations of question types, such as factual versus cognitive or closed versus open-ended.

2. Different Types of Questions based on
Bloom's Taxonomy
• Bloom’s Taxonomy is a classification of the
different objectives and skills that educators set
for their students (learning objectives). The
taxonomy was proposed in 1956 by Benjamin
Bloom, an educational psychologist at the
University of Chicago. The terminology has been
recently (2001)updated to include the following
six levels of learning. These 6 levels can be used
to structure the learning objectives, lessons, and
assessments of the course. :
