BLOOM’S TAXONOMY AND THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF QUESTIONS

 

 

THE TAXONOMY OF BLOOM

As teachers and as people part of the world, we ask questions to our learners and people everyday. Not all questions are on the same level. Some questions are easy to answer where other questions may require a great deal of thinking.

 

Bloom (1956) has provided us with his taxonomy to assist us to compose questions on different levels of thinking. This taxonomy ranges from lower to higher levels of cognitive thinking. These levels are (I will shortly provide more detail of each level):

(1)    Knowledge

(2)    Comprehension

(3)    Application

(4)    Analysis

(5)    Synthesis

(6)    Evaluation
