Bloom's Taxonomy is a hierarchical model which categorizes learning objectives into varying levels of complexity, from basic to advanced level and from factual to complex. Bloom's Taxonomy is important because it helps teachers to meet learning goals and develop plans accordingly. Bloom has provided us with his taxonomy on basis of different levels of thinking. This taxonomy ranges from lower to higher levels of cognitive thinking. These levels are 

  • Knowledge
  • Comprehension
  • Application
  • Analysis
  • Synthesis
  • Evaluation

Key Points

Bloom's Cognitive domain referred to in the above question is Comprehension. Comprehension refers to the ability to grasp the meaning of the material. Comprehension was the second classification level off Bloom's Taxonomy, which assesses true reading comprehension skills. Asking questions before reading can provide the teacher with insight into how the student will process the information.

Classification of the objective under Bloom's taxonomy:

Knowledge

  • Remembering and memorizing the facts, principles, and terms in the form they were learned.
  • Knowledge of ways and means of dealing with the problem.
  • Knowledge of structures, theories, principles, and generalizations.

Understanding or comprehension

  • Basic understanding of the material facts, ideas, methods, processes, principles, or theories, etc.
  • Ability to translate, compare, interpret, and explain.

Application

  • Use or application of generalizations and abstractions in concrete situations.

Analysis

  • Division of contents or material into its elements or constituent parts.

Synthesis

  • Combining elements into a new structure by a proposed set of operations.

Evaluation

  • Judging the value of material for a specified purpose.
