Introducing Blooms Taxonomy<\/strong><\/h4>

Blooms Taxonomy is a framework used to define 6 different levels of human cognition. Most of all developed to help both educators and students how to structure their learning journey.<\/p>

  1. Remember <\/strong>– Retrieving relevant knowledge from long-term memory.<\/li>
  2. Understand<\/strong> – Determining meaning.<\/li>
  3. Apply<\/strong> – Carrying out, implementing, or using a procedure or process in any given situation.<\/li>
  4. Analyse<\/strong> – Breaking material into its constituent parts and detecting how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure or purpose.<\/li>
  5. Evaluate <\/strong>– Making judgments based on criteria and standards.<\/li>
  6. Create<\/strong> – Putting elements together to form an original product.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    What is Blooms Taxonomy used for?<\/h3>

    Blooms Taxonomy is used best for developing learning outcomes for educational curriculum. Generally, it is best to incorporate a good mix of the 6 cognitive complexities so you can appeal to different types of learners throughout their education journey. Subsequently, learners can build up lower-level cognitive skills like remembering. Then reach higher-level cognitive skills like creating. Which include more complex and involved tasks.<\/p>
