In today's class sir Nisar Ahmed taught us Blooms Taxonomy. An American educationalist psychologist Benjamin Samuel Bloom ( Feb-21-1913 to Sep-13-1999) introduced mystery learnings that is called Blooms Taxonomy actually word taxonomy is derived from Taxis means arrangements chronological and logical order, means arranging in order just like form 1st to last series wise. This framework can be used to create assessments, evaluate the complexity of assignments, increase the rigor of a lesson, simplify an activity to help personalize learning, design a summative assessment, plan project-based learning, frame a group discussion, and more. Because it simply provides an order for cognitive behaviors, it can be applied to almost anything.
