Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives

Bloom's Taxonomy

1. Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives

2. What are Objectives? a goal towards which the learner is made to move i t is a part of an aim . ie ., a part that would help in gradually reaching the ultimate distant goal. i e . , the aim anticipated.

3. What is Taxonomy of Educational Objectives? A taxonomy is really just a word for a form of classificat ion . Bloom's   taxonomy  is a set of three hierarchical models used to classify   educational learning objectives  into levels of complexity and specificity.  

4. What is Bloom's taxonomy of learning? Bloom's Taxonomy was created in 1956 under the leadership of educational psychologist Dr. Benjamin  Bloom. Bloom and his associates developed a taxonomic model of instructional objectives in order to promote higher forms of thinking in education, such as analyzing and evaluating concepts , processes , procedures , and principles , rather than just remembering facts (rote learning ).

5. What Bloom Taxonomy is used for? Bloom's taxonomy  is a classification system  used to define and distinguish different levels of human cognition —i.e., thinking, learning, and understanding . It is most often used when designing educational , training , and learning processes. it is an ordering of cognitive skills.

6. 3 domains Cognitive domain (thinking ) Affective domain(emotion/feeling) Psychomotor domain (physical/ kinesthetic )

7. What is cognitive domain ? The cognitive domain is organized in a hierarchy that begins with the straightforward acquisition of knowledge , followed by the more sophisticated cognitive tasks of comprehension, application , analysis , synthesis and evaluation.

8. What is affective domain? The  affective domain is part of a system that was published in 1965 for identifying, understanding and addressing how people learn.

9. What is psychomotor domain ?   The   psychomotor domain  (Simpson, 1972) includes physical movement , coordination , and use of the motor-skill areas . Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed , precision , distance , procedures or techniques in execution .
