3. Introduction Bloom's Taxonomy was created in 1956 under the leadership of educational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Bloom in order to promote higher forms of thinking in education such as : analyzing and evaluating  : Concepts Processes Procedures principles rather than just remembering facts (rote learning). 

4. Why Use Bloom’s Taxonomy? A multi-layered answer to this question: Objectives (learning goals) are important to establish in a pedagogical interchange so that teachers and students alike understand the purpose of that interchange. Teachers can benefit from using frameworks to organize objectives as it helps to clarify objectives for themselves and for students. Having an organized set of objectives helps teachers to: plan and deliver appropriate instruction design valid assessment tasks and strategies ensure that instruction and assessment are aligned with the objectives .
