    Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives created by Benjamin Bloom in 1956. It structures educational goals from basic recall or understanding of facts and ideas to more complex and advanced thinking skills such as analysis, evaluation, and creation of new knowledge or products. The taxonomy consists of six levels from lowest to highest order thinking: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create. Educators use Bloom's Taxonomy to develop learning objectives and design lessons and assessments that help students master higher levels of thinking.

    What is Bloom’s Taxonomy

    Bloom’s Taxonomy is a classification of the different objectives and skills that educators set
    for their students (learning objectives). The taxonomy was proposed in 1956 by Benjamin
    Bloom, an educational psychologist at the University of Chicago. The terminology has been
    recently updated to include the following six levels of learning. These 6 levels can be used
    to structure the learning objectives, lessons, and assessments of your course. :

    1. Remembering: Retrieving, recognizing, and recalling relevant knowledge from long-


    term memory.
    2. Understanding: Constructing meaning from oral, written, and graphic messages
    through interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing,
    and explaining.
    3. Applying: Carrying out or using a procedure for executing, or implementing.
    4. Analyzing: Breaking material into constituent parts, determining how the parts relate
    to one another and to an overall structure or purpose through differentiating,
    organizing, and attributing.
    5. Evaluating: Making judgments based on criteria and standards through checking
    and critiquing.
    6. Creating: Putting elements together to form a coherent or functional
    whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through generating,
    planning, or producing.

    Like other taxonomies, Bloom’s is hierarchical, meaning that learning at the higher
    levels is dependent on having attained prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower
    levels. You will see Bloom’s Taxonomy often displayed as a pyramid graphic to help
    demonstrate this hierarchy. We have updated this pyramid into a “cake-style” hierarchy
    to emphasize that each level is built on a foundation of the previous levels.
    How Bloom’s can aid in course design
    Bloom’s taxonomy is a powerful tool to help develop learning objectives because it explains
    the process of learning:

    • Before you can understand a concept, you must remember it.


    • To apply a concept, you must first understand it.
    • In order to evaluate a process, you must have analyzed it.
    • To create an accurate conclusion, you must have completed a thorough evaluation.

    However, we don’t always start with lower order skills and step all the way through the
    entire taxonomy for each concept you present in your course. That approach would become
    tedious–for both you and your students! Instead, start by considering the level of learners in
    your course:

    How Bloom’s works with learning objectives


    Fortunately, there are “verb tables” to help identify which action verbs align with each level
    in Bloom’s Taxonomy.
    Steps towards writing effective learning objectives:

    1. Make sure there is one measurable verb in each objective.


    2. Each objective needs one verb. Either a student can master the objective,
    or they fail to master it. If an objective has two verbs
    (say, define and apply), what happens if a student can define, but not
    apply? Are they demonstrating mastery?
    3. Ensure that the verbs in the course level objective are at least at the
    highest Bloom’s Taxonomy as the highest lesson level objectives that
    support it. (Because we can’t verify, they can evaluate if our lessons only
    taught them (and assessed) to define.)
    4. Strive to keep all your learning objectives measurable, clear and concise.
