Bloom's Taxonomy
Bloom's Taxonomy is a hierarchal model with six categories and each skill from each category building on the previous skill. Its widely popular with K-12 teachers and college instructors in their teaching.
While each category contained subcategories, all lying along a continuum from simple to complex and concrete to abstract, the taxonomy is popularly remembered according to the six main categories (Armstrong, 2010).
Knowledge - known as the "remembering" level is the base that involves the ability to recall information on demand.
Comprehension- the "understanding" level involves that the individual can demonstrate the basics of the key concepts independently.
Application- involves the learner to apply new knowledge into new and practical situations.
Analysis- the phrase where learners break down parts or elements of an information. Critical thinking is encouraged to compare, contrast or evaluate relations between ideas.
Evaluation- learners defend their stance by making informed judgements and assessments of the material.
Synthesis- the top of the taxonomy or highest cognitive level where learners produce new ideas or construct new solutions.
