Understanding Bloom's Taxonomy Levels

The document discusses Benjamin Bloom's original taxonomy of learning domains and its revisions. It describes the six levels of Bloom's original taxonomy - Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation - and how they progress from lower to higher order thinking skills. It then explains how the taxonomy was revised in 2000 to change the categories from nouns to verbs and rearrange the levels. Finally, it introduces the idea of a "Bloom's Digital Taxonomy" to expand the skills associated with each level to incorporate technology into learning.

with friends, compare the answer with peers and produce a
summary.

• (5) Synthesis:

critical thinking or a debate in group activities. In this level of
learning, the students also produce creative thinking.

• (6) Evaluate:
assessment or established peer-review knowledge, judge in
relational terms; in this stage, students are evaluating the whole
learning concepts and they could evaluate or make judgment on
how far they successfully learned

Cruikshank, Mayer, Pintrich, Raths,

• change the names in the six categories


from noun to verb forms.
• rearrange them as shown in next slide
• create a processes & levels of knowledge
matrix
Why REVISED?????
WHY revised????

• taking into consideration the current


developments in the educational and

ACTIVITY
TEST YOUR UNDERSTANDING

1) Elaborate what is the similarities and differences between


original bloom taxonomy, blooms revised taxonomy and blooms
digital taxonomy?

2) As teachers, we ask questions to our learners everyday. Not all


questions are on the same level. Some questions are easy to
answer where other questions may require a great deal of thinking.
Each taxonomy level has a short description, a lists of keywords
that can be used to begin a question, and question starters.

Prepare a table consisting of 10 Keywords, 10 Questions and 5


Assessment/Activities for the Bloom Digital Taxonomy based on
your area of specialization. (refer to example)
