1. A student drew a neat and error-free graph on a graph paper basing on the given data relating to physics. 2. The student answered the questions based on the graph correctly. 3. The student predicted the trend of the graph correctly by studying its nature. Out of the knowledge, understanding, application and skill based educational objectives, the above mentioned facts are based altogether on how many objectives? Correct Answer Three

Benjamin Bloom's taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models that refers to the classification of educational learning objectives.

  • In the taxonomy, Bloom identified three domains of learning which include cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.
  • These three domains have been divided in a way that proceeds from the simplest process to the complex.
    • Cognitive: In this domain, only those objectives are included which are concerned with the intellectual abilities and skills of the learner.
    • Affective:  Only those objectives are included that are related to the domain of interests, attitudes, and values that bring out the desirable changes in the same.
    • Conative or psychomotor: It includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas​. The training of physical activities is the main objective of this domain.

Key Points

B. S. Bloom has divided the cognitive objectives into six categories (under Bloom's taxonomy) arranged from the lowest to the highest level of functioning.

Their classification is given as under:

Knowledge

  • Remembering the facts, principles, and terms in the form they were learned i.e., remember and recall
    • Knowledge of the graph that is X-axis is vertically drawn and Y-axis is horizontally drawn.
    • The students based on their knowledge will predict the trend of the graph.

Understanding

  • Basic understanding of the material facts, ideas, methods, processes, principles, or theories, etc.
  • Ability to translate, interpret, and explain i.e., explaining the graph.
    • ​The students will be able to understand the graph and will be able to answer the questions based on it.

Application

  • Use or application of generalizations and abstractions in concrete situations.
    • It involves the use of the learned behaviors or applying the theoretical knowledge in practice.
    •  A student will be able to draw a neat and error-free graph on a graph paper basing on the given data relating to physics.

Analysis

  • Division of contents or material into its elements or constituent parts.
    • The students will be able to divide the parts or elements of the graph to make it simple and to answer the questions based on a graph.

Synthesis

  • Combining elements into a new structure by a proposed set of operations.
    • The students will be able to combine the elements of a graph if a question is asking the answer in a combined form.

Evaluation

  • Judging the value of material for a specified purpose i.e.,
    • The students will be able to tell the pros and cons of a graph.

 

Hence, the above-mentioned facts are based altogether on the three objectives including Knowledge, Understanding, and Application.
