My understanding and Reading of Bloom's Taxonomy
B. S. Bloom has classified the learning objectives in three categories:
1. Cognitive objectives
2. Affective objectives, and
3. Psycho-motor objectives.
COGNITIVE OBJECTIVES/ DOMAIN
The Cognitive Domain receives the most attention in instructional programs and includes objectives related to information or knowledge. Benjamin Bloom and his colleagues (1956) developed a widely accepted taxonomy, referred to as Bloom's Taxonomy (method of classification on differing levels of higher order thinking) for cognitive objectives.
Taxonomy of Cognitive Educational Objectives and Learning Outcome- by B. S. Bloom
The cognitive domain of the taxonomy consists of six broad categories of cognitive learning arranged in an order to increase complexity:
1. Knowledge: (remembering facts, terms and principles in the form they are learned).
2. Comprehension: ( understanding material without necessarily relating it to other material).
3. Application: ( using generalizations or abstractions appropriately in concrete situations).
4. Analysis: (breakdown the material into constitutions).
5. Synthesis: (combining elements into a new structure)
6. Evaluation: (judging the value of material for a specified purpose).
REVISED BLOOM’S TAXONOMY
This taxonomy has been adapted by Anderson for relevance in 21st century learning and remains the most significant model used. Six levels of learning are in the classification.
1. Remembering- (the lowest cognitive level) requires the student to recall or recognize specific information.
2. Understanding- Objectives written on the understanding level, although a higher level of mental ability than remembering requires the lowest level of understanding from the student.
3. Applying- require the learner to implement (use) the information.
4. Analyzing- require the learner to break the information into component parts and describe the relationship.
5. Evaluating- require the student to make a judgment about materials or methods.
6. Creating- require the student to generate new ideas, products and ways of viewing things.
AFFECTIVE OBJECTIVES/DOMAIN
This taxonomy has been developed by Krathwohl
This domain includes the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes. The five major categories listed in order are:
1. Receiving phenomena- to exhibit awareness, willingness and attention towards the new phenomenon.
2. Responding -actively participate by attending and reacting to the phenomenon.
3. Valuing- to attach worth or value to a particular object, phenomenon or behavior.
4. Organization- to organize values into priorities by contrasting different values, resolving conflicts between them, and creating a unique value system.
5. Characterization (Internalizing values) - require the student to have a value system that controls his/her behavior.
PSYCHOMOTOR OBJECTIVES/ DOMAIN
-Developed by Simpson.
The psychomotor domain includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas. Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance, procedures, or techniques in execution. The seven major categories listed in order are:
1. Perception- the ability to use sensory cues to guide motor activity.
2. Set- to have readiness to act.
3. Guided response- to be ready to learn a complex skill
4. Mechanism- to learn a complex skill
5. Complex Overt Response- to skillful perform motor acts
6. Adaptation- Objectives written on the adaptation level require that the student has well developed skills and the individual can modify movement patterns to fit special requirements.
7. Origination- Objectives written on the origination level require the student to create new movement patterns to fit a particular situation or specific problem.

As per studying and my understanding ,B. S. Bloom has classified the learning objectives in three categories:
1. Cognitive objective.2. Affective objectives, and3. Psycho-motor objectives.
COGNITIVE OBJECTIVES/ DOMAIN

Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains:
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, rather than just remembering facts (rote learning).
THE THREE TYPES OF LEARNING
The committee identified three domains of educational activities or learning (Bloom, 1956):
COGNITIVE DOMAIN
The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills (Bloom, 1956). This includes the recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural patterns, and concepts that serve in the development of intellectual abilities and skills. There are six major categories, which are listed in order below, starting from the simplest behavior to the most complex. The categories can be thought of as degrees of difficulties. That is, the first ones must normally be mastered before the next ones can take place.
REVISED TAXONOMY
Lorin Anderson, a former student of Bloom, revisited the cognitive domain in the learning taxonomy in the mid-nineties and made some changes, with perhaps the two most prominent ones being, 1) changing the names in the six categories from noun to verb forms, and 2) slightly rearranging them (Anderson, Krathwohl, Airasian, Cruikshank, Mayer, Pintrich, Raths, Wittrock, 2000; Pohl, 2000).
This new taxonomy reflects a more active form of thinking and is perhaps more accurate:
ALTERNATIVE TO BLOOM: Structure of Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) Taxonomy
While Bloom's Taxonomy has been quite useful in that it has extended learning from simply remembering to more complex cognitive structures, such as analyzing and evaluating, newer models have come along. IT has also become more useful with the revised taxonomy.
However, one model that might prove more useful is the Structure of Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) taxonomy. It is a model that describes levels of increasing complexity in a learner's understanding of subjects (Biggs, Collis, 1982). It aids both trainers and learners in understanding the learning process. The model consists of five levels in the order of understanding:
SOLO not only shows the instructors how the learners are progressing, but also the learners themselves. This can best be shown by using the square process (start in the inner square):
AFFECTIVE DOMAIN
The affective domain (Krathwohl, Bloom, Masia, 1973) includes the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes. The five major categories are listed from the simplest behavior to the most complex:
PSYCHOMOTOR DOMAIN
The psychomotor domain (Simpson, 1972) includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas. Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance, procedures, or techniques in execution. The seven major categories are listed from the simplest behavior to the most complex:
Other Psychomotor Domain Taxonomies
As mentioned earlier, the committee did not produce a compilation for the psychomotor domain model, but others have. The one discussed above is by Simpson (1972). There are two other popular versions:

General Views on Bloom’s Taxonomy:-
In 1956, Benjamin Bloom with his collaborators Max Englehat, Edward Furst, Walter Hill and David Krathwohl published a framework for categorizing educational goals: Taxonomy of Educational Objective, which is familiarly known as Bloom’s Taxonomy. This framework has been applied by generations of k-12 teachers and collage instructors in their teaching.
Bloom’s taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education. Bloom’s taxonomy refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students. It divides educational objectives into three domains: - (1) cognitive (2) affective and (3) psychomotor. A goal of Bloom’s taxonomy is to motivate educators to focus on all three domains.
Bloom’s taxonomy focuses on skills rather than content or information. Bloom’s taxonomy can be used as a teaching tool to develop the student’s thinking skills.
• Various Levels Of Bloom’s Taxonomy :-
*Cognitive Domain (by Bloom):-
# Level-1 -> Knowledge
# Level-2 -> Comprehension
# Level-3 -> Application
# Level-4-> Analysis
# Level-5 -> Synthesis
# Level-6-> Evaluation
*Affective Domain (by Bloom):-
# Level-1-> receiving phenomena
# Level-2->responding to phenomena
# Level-3-> valuing
# Level-4-> organization
# Level-5-> internalizing values
*Psychomotor Domain (by Dave):-
# Level-1-> Imitation
# Level-2->Manipulation
# Level-3-> Precision
# Level-4-> Articulation
# Level-5-> Naturalization
*Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy:-
-> Taxonomy is about cognitive objectives, developed by Benjamin Bloom in 1950s
-> For classroom use as a planning tool
-> Lorin Anderson revisited the taxonomy in 1990s
-> One of the most universally applied models
-> Provides a way to organize thinking skills into six levels
-> From the most basic to the more complex levels of thinking
-> As a result, a number of changes were made
# From lower to higher order thinking skills:-
Creating
(Generating, planning, producing)
Evaluating
(Checking, critiquing)
Analyzing
(Differentiating, organizing, attributing)
Applying
(Executing, implementing)
Understanding
(Interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, explaining)
Remembering
(Recognizing, recalling)
*How It Is Useful In Teaching?
-> Learning goals (objectives) are important to establish in pedagogical interchange so that teachers and students alike understand the purpose of that interchange.
-> Teachers can benefit from using frameworks to organize objectives because it helps the students to clarify objectives.
-> 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.
As par my understanding and Reading of Bloom's Taxonomy is
A classification of learning objectives within education. It is named for Benjamin Bloom, who chaired the committee of educators that devised the taxonomy, and who also edited the first volume of the standard text, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: the Classification of Educational Goals. Bloom’s taxonomy refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students. It divides educational objectives into three "domains": cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Within the domains, learning at the higher levels is dependent on having attained prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower levels. A goal of Bloom's taxonomy is to motivate educators to focus on all three domains, creating a more holistic form of education. Bloom’s taxonomy is considered to be a foundational and essential element within the education community. A mythology has grown around the taxonomy, possibly due to many people learning about the taxonomy through second hand information. Bloom himself considered the Handbook "one of the most widely cited yet least read books in American education".
Planning is more than a process of listing necessary steps to complete an activity or task. As Anna progresses through her APT, for instance, she is discovering the importance of incorporating different theories in her planning and implementation including Bloom’s Taxonomy, a type of classification of the different objectives that educators might set for students. Teachers want to insure that their lessons are varied and that they encourage thinking at different levels of the taxonomy- ranging from recitation and labeling to reconstructing and summarizing. In order to better understand Bloom’s Taxonomy and how we can successfully apply it to our planning, let’s look at how the taxonomies are organized and how these theories can be used in language teaching.
BLOOM’s AFFECTIVE TAXONOMY
This domain focuses on the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes. The five major categories listed in order are:
Receiving phenomena
responding to phenomena
Valuing
Organization
Internalizing values
How does Bloom’s Taxonomy apply to Language teaching?
Language teachers should consider Bloom’s Taxonomy during multiple stages of the B-SLIM model. Teachers need to consider how material can be scaffold in a way that reflects Bloom’s Taxonomy. In the second language learning context, learners must engage in a lot of knowledge and comprehension in their beginning stages of SL learning. As learners become more competent, activities should focus more on higher levels of thinking which are always more interesting to learners!
Bloom's Taxonomy of Cognitive Levels:-
1)Knowledge 2)Comprehension 3)Application
4)Analysis 5)Synthesis 6)Evaluation
The Revised Bloom's Taxonomy
Bloom’s taxonomy was developed in the 1950’s and is still used today to categorize ways of learning and thinking in a hierarchical structure. A revised model was developed in the 1990’s to better fit educational practices of the 21st century. Learn how you can employ the revised Bloom’s taxonomy to help plan effective instruction and challenge students to move from the most basic skills (remembering) to more complex learning which leads to higher order thinking (creating).
You have rightly described the features of taxonomy or we can say basic ideas of taxonomy. You have presented your views rationally which has logical features and quality. So it is not necessarily to mention the references as evidence. You can put a topic how this taxonomy helps in teaching for the students and for the teacher as well. You can add sub types of different domains of thinking skills. Moreover, you are still require to have clarity and more points of views.
Bloom's Taxonomy and the revised version of it:
Bloom’s Taxonomy:
Bloom’s Taxonomy is developed by Benjamin Bloom in 1950s. It is a means of expressing qualitatively different kinds of thinking. It has been adapted for classroom use as a planning tool and continues to be one of the most universally applied models. It provides a way to organize thinking skills into six levels, from the most basic to the more complex levels of thinking. In 1956, Benjamin Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists who identified six levels of intellectual behavior important in learning.
Classification of levels:
1) Knowledge
Knowledge is defined as the remembering of previously learned material. It represents the lowest level of learning outcomes in the
cognitive domain.
2) Comprehension
Comprehension is defined as the ability to grasp the meaning of material. It represents the lowest level of understanding.
3)Application.
Application refers to the ability to use learned material in new and concrete situations.
4) Analysis
Analysis refers to the ability to break down material into its component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood.
5) Synthesis
Synthesis refers to the ability to put parts together to form a new whole.
6) Evaluation
Evaluation is concerned with the ability to judge the value of material for a given purpose.
Revised version of Bloom’s Taxonomy by Anderson :
In 1990s, Lorin Anderson as a former student of Bloom revised Bloom’s taxonomy. As a result, a number of changes were made which will see in the following way:
1. Remembering- Objectives written on the remembering level requires the student to recall or recognize specific information. Below are verbs appropriate for objectives written at the remembering level.
2. Understanding- Objectives written on the understanding level, although a higher level of mental ability than remembering requires the lowest level of understanding from the student.
3. Applying- Objectives written on the applying level require the learner to implement the information.
4. Analyzing- Objectives written on the analyzing level require the learner to break the information into component parts and describe the relationship.
5. Evaluating- Objectives written on the evaluating level require the student to make a judgment about materials or methods.
6. Creating- Objectives written on the creating level require the student to generate new ideas, products and ways of viewing things.
I want to say you that you seem to do copy directly from the website. I don't mind but we are supposed to have understanding and clarification about the concept of Bloom's Taxonomy and that' why sir has given this task to us. You can write the levels to the way of presenting one by one point systematically. And the most important thing what you lack is to mention the revised taxonomy. However you have did good attempt and keep it up in the academia.
Mr. Nikhil, you have tried to give some educational knowledge about what Bloom’s taxonomy is. You have discussed that What are the main objectives and domains in teaching –learning process. That is good. But, there is lack of the real understanding that what the each domain tells about at what level.As I know we can’t distinguish the relation with each other at some situations.
B. S. Bloom has classified the learning objectives in three categories:
1. Cognitive objectives
2. Affective objectives, and
3. Psycho-motor objectives.
COGNITIVE OBJECTIVES/ DOMAIN
Benjamin Bloom and his colleagues (1956) developed a widely accepted taxonomy, referred to as Bloom's Taxonomy (method of classification on differing levels of higher order thinking) for cognitive objectives.
The cognitive domain of the taxonomy consists of six broad categories of cognitive learning arranged in an order to increase complexity:
1. Knowledge:
• Knowledge of specifics, i.e. facts and terminology
• Knowledge of ways and means and
• Knowledge of principles, theories and generalizations.
2. Comprehension:
• Translation
• Interpretation and
• Extrapolation.
3. Application:
• Make generalization of facts, principles and theories
• Diagnose the weakness of these contents and
• Apply these contents.
4. Analysis:
• Analysis of elements
• Analysis of relationship between elements
• Formulate some principles to organize the elements.
5. Synthesis:
• Production of a unique communication
• Production of a plan or proposed set of operations
• Derivation of a set of abstract relations.
6. Evaluation: (judging the value of material for a specified purpose).
• Judgement in terms of internal evidence
• Judgement in terms of external criteria.

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, rather than just remembering facts. Blooms classified learning in three categories.
1. cognitive objectives.
2. Affective objectives.
3. Psych-motor objectives.
There are six major categories of the cognitive Domain. 1.Knowledge: Recall data or information.
2.Comprehension: Understand the meaning, translation, interpolation, and interpretation of instructions and problems. State a problem in one's own words.
3. Application: Use a concept in a new situation or unprompted use of an abstraction. Applies what was learned in the classroom into novel situations in the work place.
4. Analysis: Separates material or concepts into component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood. Distinguishes between facts and inferences.
5. Synthesis: Builds a structure or pattern from diverse elements. Put parts together to form a whole, with emphasis on creating a new meaning or structure.
6. Evaluation: Make judgments about the value of ideas or materials. REVISED BLOOM’S TAXONOMY

6. Adaptation: Skills are well developed and the individual can modify movement patterns to fit special requirements.
7. Origination: Creating new movement patterns to fit a particular situation or specific problem.
Mr. Rajnikant as you said that i have to put a topic how this taxonomy help in teaching for the students and for the teachers. So here I mentioned some feature which is really helpful to the students as well as teachers also.The Language teachers should consider Bloom’s Taxonomy during multiple stages of the B-SLIM model. Teachers need to consider how material can be scaffold in a way that reflects Bloom’s Taxonomy. In the second language learning context, learners must engage in a lot of knowledge and comprehension in their beginning stages of SL learning. As learners become more competent, activities should focus more on higher levels of thinking which are always more interesting to learners!

Bloom's taxonomy domains
Introduction:
Benjamin Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains - Cognitive, Affective, Psychomotor Domains - design and evaluation toolkit for training and learning
Bloom's Taxonomy, was initially published in 1956 under the leadership of American academic and educational expert Dr Benjamin S Bloom. 'Bloom's Taxonomy' was originally created in and for an academic context, when Benjamin Bloom chaired a committee of educational psychologists, based in American education, whose aim was to develop a system of categories of learning behavior to assist in the design and assessment of educational learning. Bloom's Taxonomy model has mainly three domains which are as follow:
• Cognitive domain
• Affective domain
• Psychomotor domain
1. Cognitive domain - (intellect - knowledge - 'think')
Bloom's Taxonomy 1956 Cognitive Domain is as follows. An adjusted model was produced by Anderson and Krathwhol in 2001 in which the levels five and six (synthesis and evaluation) were inverted. This is why you will see different versions of this Cognitive Domain model. Debate continues as to the order of levels five and six, which is interesting given that Bloom's Taxonomy states that the levels must be mastered in order.
2. Affective domain - (feeling, emotions - attitude - 'feel')
Bloom's Taxonomy second domain, the Affective Domain, was detailed by Bloom, Krathwhol and Masia in 1964. Bloom's theory advocates this structure and sequence for developing attitude - also now commonly expressed in the modern field of personal development as 'beliefs'. Again, as with the other domains, the Affective Domain detail provides a framework for teaching, training, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of training and lesson design and delivery, and also the retention by and affect upon the learner or trainee.
3. Psychomotor domain - (physical - skills - 'do')
The Psychomotor Domain was ostensibly established to address skills development relating to manual tasks and physical movement, however it also concerns and covers modern day business and social skills such as communications and operation IT equipment, for example telephone and keyboard skills, or public speaking. Thus, 'motor' skills extend beyond the originally traditionally imagined manual and physical skills, so always consider using this domain, even if you think your environment is covered adequately by the Cognitive and Affective Domains. Whatever the training situation, it is likely that the Psychomotor Domain is significant.
Revised Bloom Taxonomy:
The Bloom Taxonomy of Educational Objectives was revised in Spring 2001. This note describes the revisions that were recently made to the taxonomy reported in your textbook. It is easier to understand and use in many ways, so you may use either one you wish in doing your test construction project.
Review of the changes
First, the revised Bloom taxonomy gives slightly different names to the 6 levels of the hierarchy:
• remember (was knowledge)
• understand (was comprehension)
• apply (was application)
• analyze (was analysis)
• evaluate (was evaluation)
• create (was synthesis)
Conclusion:
Bloom's Taxonomy is a wonderful reference model for all involved in teaching, training, learning, coaching - in the design, delivery and evaluation of these development methods. At its basic level, the Taxonomy provides a simple, quick and easy checklist to start to plan any type of personal development. It helps to open up possibilities for all aspects of the subject or need concerned, and suggests a variety of the methods available for delivery of teaching and learning. As with any checklist, it also helps to reduce the risks of overlooking some vital aspects of the development required.
bloom's taxonomy definitions :
Bloom's Taxonomy model is in three parts, or 'overlapping domains'. Again, Bloom used rather academic language, but the meanings are simple to understand:
Cognitive domain (intellectual capability, ie., knowledge, or 'think')
Affective domain (feelings, emotions and behaviour, ie., attitude, or 'feel')
Psychomotor domain (manual and physical skills, ie., skills, or 'do')
This has given rise to the obvious short-hand variations on the theme which summarise the three domains; for example, Skills-Knowledge-Attitude, KAS, Do-Think-Feel, etc.
The learner should benefit from development of knowledge and intellect (Cognitive Domain); attitude and beliefs (Affective Domain); and the ability to put physical and bodily skills into effect - to act (Psychomotor Domain).
1. bloom's taxonomy - cognitive domain - (intellect - knowledge - 'think') : Bloom's Taxonomy 1956 Cognitive Domain is as follows. An adjusted model was produced by Anderson and Krathwhol in 2001 in which the levels five and six . This is why you will see different versions of this Cognitive Domain model. Debate continues as to the order of levels five and six, which is interesting given that Bloom's Taxonomy states that the levels must be mastered in order.
2. bloom's taxonomy - affective domain - (feeling, emotions - attitude - 'feel') : Bloom's Taxonomy second domain, the Affective Domain, was detailed by Bloom, Krathwhol and Masia in 1964 (Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: Volume II, The Affective Domain. Bloom, Krathwohl and Masia.) Bloom's theory advocates this structure and sequence for developing attitude - also now commonly expressed in the modern field of personal development as 'beliefs'.
3. bloom's taxonomy - psychomotor domain - (physical - skills - 'do') : The Psychomotor Domain was ostensibly established to address skills development relating to manual tasks and physical movement, however it also concerns and covers modern day business and social skills such as communications and operation IT equipment, for example telephone and keyboard skills, or public speaking.
In Bloom’s Taxonomy, the evaluation level is where students make judgments about the value of ideas, items, materials, and more.
Level 1 - Receiving Phenomena - This level is defined as one's awareness, willingness to hear, and their selected attention.
Level 2 - Responding to Phenomena - This level is defined as the active participation on the part of the learners. The student is present, attentive, and reacts to a particular phenomenon.
Level 3 - Valuing - This level is defined as the worth or value a person attaches to a particular object, phenomenon, or behavior. This can range from simple acceptance to the more complex states of commitment.
Level 4 - Organization - This level is defined as the student who organizes values into priorities by contrasting different values, resolving conflicts between them, and creating an unique value system.
Level 5 - Internalizing Values - This level is defined as the student who organizes values into priorities by contrasting different values, resolving conflicts between them, and creating an unique value system.
Bloom’s Taxonomy
Benjamin Bloom’s Taxonomy of cognitive objectives developed in 1950s. Bloom classified the different kinds of thinking level. This taxonomy adapted for classroom use as a planning tool or also provides a way to organize thinking skills into six different levels, from the most basic to the higher order levels of thinking. In 1990s Lorin Anderson (former student of Bloom) revisited the taxonomy.
Here present the original terms and Bloom’s new terms of Taxonomy. Original terms include down to up levels like- Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. And new terms of Bloom’s include down to up levels like- Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, And Creating. It is a more authentic tool for curriculum planning, instructional delivery and assessment. It is also easily applied to all levels of schooling.
Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy (Classification)
It is based on higher order thinking classification. There are six down to up levels of thinking in which learner will learn the language. It’s described below,
(1) Remembering (Knowledge):- In which the learner is able to recall, restate and remember learned information. i.e., Listing, Naming, Finding, Identifying, etc.
(2) Understanding (Comprehension):- In which the learner understand the meaning of information by interpreting and translating what has been learned. i.e., Paraphrasing, Explaining, Interpreting, etc.
(3) Applying (Application):- The learner makes use of information in a context different from the one in which it was learned. i.e., Implementing, Using, Executing, etc.
(4) Analyzing (Analysis):- In which the learner breaks learned information into its parts to best understand that information. i.e., Comparing, Organizing, Deconstructing, Structuring, etc.
(5) Evaluating (Evaluation):- In which the learner makes decisions based on in-depth reflection, criticism and assessment. i.e., Checking, Hypothesizing, Testing, etc.
(6) Creating (Synthesis):- In which the learner creates new ideas and information using what has been previously learned. i.e., Constructing, Inventing, Making, Designing, etc.

Mr. Ankit, You have nicely discussed the primary domains and the revised domains as well. As I think, if you would be mentioned the relevant examples of each domain that will be done more effective for the better understand of the teaching-learning process and how it works in the classroom interaction.
First of all, Bloom’s taxonomy is coined by Benjamin Bloom (1956). Now, we will discuss the earlier taxonomy and then revised taxonomy. The earlier taxonomy is here. 1. Evaluation 2. Synthesis 3. Analysis 4. Application 5. Comprehension 6. Knowledge. For example, evaluation makes judgments about the values of ideas or materials. Knowledge recalls data or information. There are types of levels related to the earlier taxonomy, which can be given below.
1. The cognitive dimension process
2. The knowledge dimension process
3. The understanding dimension process.
The basic taxonomy is very important for the learner to learn the language. Now, let’s see the revised version of Bloom’s taxonomy, which can be given below.
1. Creating
2. Evaluating
3. Analyzing
4. Applying
5. Understanding
6. Remembering.
For example, creating involves a new meaning and structure of different students to learn the language. Applying involves rules, maxims etc. Creating also involves thoughts, ideas and experience of any subject.
Lastly, we conclude that the Bloom’s taxonomy leads to the revised taxonomy.
Atulbhai, whatever you have written is very good.you can make it brief.
Trupti, first of all, your understanding of Bloom's taxonomy is very good. You can define Bloom's taxonomy as an actual way.
BLOOM’S TAXONOMY
A classification of learning objectives within education. It is named for Benjamin Bloom, who chaired the committee of educators that devised the taxonomy, and who also edited the first volume of the standard text, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: the Classification of Educational Goals. Bloom’s taxonomy refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students 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, rather than just remembering facts (rote learning).
Classification of levels:
1) Knowledge
Knowledge is defined as the remembering of previously learned material. It represents the lowest level of learning outcomes in the
cognitive domain.
2) Comprehension
Comprehension is defined as the ability to grasp the meaning of material. It represents the lowest level of understanding.
3)Application.
Application refers to the ability to use learned material in new and concrete situations.
4) Analysis
Analysis refers to the ability to break down material into its component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood.
5) Synthesis
Synthesis refers to the ability to put parts together to form a new whole.
6) Evaluation
Evaluation is concerned with the ability to judge the value of material for a given purpose.
The Revised Bloom's Taxonomy
Bloom’s taxonomy was developed in the 1950’s and is still used today to categorize ways of learning and thinking in a hierarchical structure. A revised model was developed in the 1990’s to better fit educational practices of the 21st century. Learn how you can employ the revised Bloom’s taxonomy to help plan effective instruction and challenge students to move from the most basic skills (remembering) to more complex learning which leads to higher order thinking.
Nikhil your understanding and reading of Bloom's Taxonomy was good. you have described it in a proper way and your writing shows your better understanding about Bloom's Taxonomy.
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. Bloom's Taxonomy was originally created for an academic context. Taxonomy means 'a set of classification principles’ or 'structure', and Domain simply means 'category'. Bloom's Taxonomy provides an excellent structure for planning, designing, assessing and evaluating training and learning effectiveness.
Bloom's Taxonomy model is in three parts:-
Cognitive domain (intellectual capability, i.e., knowledge, or 'think')
Effective domain (feelings, emotions and behavior, i.e., attitude, or 'feel')
Psychometric domain (manual and physical skills, i.e., skills, or 'do')
In bloom’s taxonomy there were six cognitive levels:-
Level 1: Knowledge: - A starting point that includes both the acquisition of information and the ability to recall information when needed.
A. Classifying
B. Distinguishing opinion from fact
C. Giving definitions and examples
D. Outlining and summarizing
Level 2: Comprehension:-The basic level of understanding. It involves the ability to know what is being communicated in order to make use of the information.
A. Making comparisons
B. Identifying structure
C. Ordering steps in a process
D. Reading charts and graphs
Level 3: Application:-The ability to use a learned skill in a new situation.
A. Estimating
B. Anticipating probabilities
C. Making inferences
D. Applying math
Level 4: Analysis:-The ability to break down information into its integral parts and to
identify the relationship of each part of the total organization.
A. Judging completeness
B. Recognizing relevance & irrelevance
C. Identifying story elements
D. Judging sentence sequence
Level 5: Synthesis:-The ability to combine existing elements in order to create something original.
A. Communicating ideas
B. Planning projects
C. Forming hypotheses
D. Drawing conclusions
Level 6: Evaluation:-The ability to make a judgment about the value of something by using a standard.
A. Making generalizations
B. Developing criteria
C. Judging accuracy
D. Making decisions
Bloom’s Taxonomy provides an important framework for teachers to use to focus on higher order thinking. By providing a hierarchy of levels, this taxonomy can assist teachers in designing performance tasks, crafting questions for conferring with students, and Providing feedback on student work.
Bloom Taxonomy
In 1956, Benjamin Bloom had given educational goals: Taxonomy of Educational Objectives known as Bloom’s Taxonomy, this objectives is for teachers and college instructors to used in their teaching. The affective domain of bloom's Taxonomy are: Cognitive objectives Affective objectives, and Psycho-motor objectives.The Objectives by Bloom is consisted of six major categories: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation.
Here are the authors’ brief explanations of these main categories in from the appendix ofTaxonomy of Educational Objectives (Handbook One, pp. 201-207):
Knowledge:
It involves the recall of specifics and universals, the recall of methods and processes, or the recall of a pattern, structure, or setting.”
Comprehension:
It refers to a type of understanding or apprehension such that the individual knows what is being communicated and can make use of the material or idea being communicated without necessarily relating it to other material or seeing its fullest implications.”
Application:
It refers to the “use of abstractions in particular and concrete situations.”
Analysis:
It represents the “breakdown of a communication into its constituent elements or parts such that the relative hierarchy of ideas is made clear and/or the relations between ideas expressed are made explicit.”
Synthesis:
It involves the “putting together of elements and parts so as to form a whole.”
Evaluation:
It engenders “judgments about the value of material and methods for given purposes.”
In 2001 a revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy with the title A Taxonomy for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment by cognitive psychologists, curriculum theorists and instructional researchers.
Remember: for Recognizing, Recalling
Understand: for Interpreting, Exemplifying, Classifying, Summarizing, Inferring, Comparing, Explaining.
Apply: for Executing, Implementing
Analyze: for Differentiating, Organizing, Attributing
Evaluate: for Checking, Critiquing
Create: for Generating, Producing, planning
The revised taxonomy is used for- plan and deliver appropriate instruction”; “design valid assessment tasks and strategies”; and “ensure that instruction and assessment are aligned with the objectives.”
Dirgha you have defined Bloom's Taxonomy shortly and sweetly it was good.
What is Bloom’s Taxonomy ?
• Bloom’s Taxonomy is a chart of ideas
• Named after the creator, Benjamin Bloom
• A Taxonomy is an arrangement of ideas
• or a way to group things together
B.S Bloom has classified the learning objectives in three categories:
1. Cognitive objective
2. Affective Objective
3. Psycho – motor Objective
1. Cognitive objective: Skills in the cognitive domain revolve around knowledge, comprehension, and critical thinking on a particular topic. Traditional education tends to emphasize the skills in this domain, particularly the lower-order objectives.There are six levels in the taxonomy, moving through the lowest order processes to the highest:
1. Knowledge
2. Comprehension
3. Application
4. Analysis
5. Synthesis
6. Evaluation
2. Affective Objective: Skills in the affective domain describe the way people react emotionally and their ability to feel other living things' pain or joy. Affective objectives typically target the awareness and growth in attitudes emotion, and feelings.
There are five levels in the affective domain moving through the lowest order processes to the highest:
1. Receiving
2. Responding
3. Valuing
4. Organizing
5. Characterizing
3.Psycho-Motor objective: Skills in the psychomotor domain describe the ability to physically manipulate a tool or instrument like a hand or a hammer. Psychomotor objectives usually focus on change and/or development in behavior and/or skills.
1. Perception
2. Set
3. Guided Response
4. Mechanism
5. Complex overt Response
6. Adaptation
7. Origination
This Taxonomy has been adapted by Anderson for relevance in 21st century learning and remains the most significant model used:
1. Remembering
2. Understanding
3. Appling
4. Analyzing
5. Evaluation
6. Creating
Bloom’s Taxonomy was created in1956 under the leadership of educational psychologist Bloom’s taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education named for Benjamin Bloom. It refers to a classification of different objectives that educators set for students. It divides educational objectives into three domains, Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor. A goal of Bloom’s Taxtonomy is to motivate educators to focus on all three domains.Bloom’s taxtonomy is considered to be a foundational and essential element within the education community.
There are three types of learning domains.
1. Cognitive: mental skills (Knowledge)
2. Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (Attitude or self)
3. Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (Skills)
The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills.There are the catagories of cognitive domains that are as below;
• Knowledge
• Comprehension
• Application
• Analysis
• Synthesis
• Evaluation
Revised Version of Bloom Taxonomy
Lorin Anderson, a former student of Bloom, revisited the cognitive domain in the learning taxonomy in the mid- nineties and made some changes. There is a revised version of Bloom Taxonomy.
Remembering : recalling information
Understanding :explaining ideas or concept
Appyling : Using information in another familiar situation
Analyzing : Breaking information into parts to explore understandings and relationships
Evaluating : Justifying a decision or course of action
Creating : Generating new ideas, products, or ways of viewing things
Dirgha you explain Bloom's Taxpnomy very briefly.but it's good attempt.
Bloom’s Taxonomy:
Bloom’s Taxonomy is an essential element within educational community. Its original domain was comprised of cognitive aspect, affective aspect and psychomotor aspect. All these three aspects were loosely known as head, heart and doing respectively.
Cognitive Domain: In a cognitive domain, learner recalls the information. S/he interprets the meaning of the data or the information that s/he has received. He uses concept and applies it to the information. He analyzes the concept and distinguishes between fact and inference. He reorganizes the concept and gives it a new meaning. He judges the ideas and materials.
Affective Domain: It deals with feelings of the learner. Learner receives the phenomena and he responds to it. He organizes the values for behavior and creates a system to control his behavior.
Psychomotor Domain: This domain is concerned with physical movements of learner. He becomes aware with certain perceptions and set himself ready to act according to those perceptions.
Original Domain:
Original domain was introduced in 1956. Its main levels were…
• Knowledge
• Comprehension
• Application
• Analysis
• Synthesis
• Evaluation
Learner gains knowledge with the help of basic concept. Based on this knowledge, he understands, classifies and interprets the main ideas. He applies this knowledge to solve problems. He examines, correlates and distinguishes information to support the generalizations. He constructs and designs information by combining elements in a new pattern. He evaluates validity of ideas.
Revised Version:
Revised version of Bloom’s Taxonomy was contributed by J. Anderson in 2001.
• Remembering
• Understanding
• Applying
• Analyzing
• Evaluating
• Creating
In revised version, nouns were replaced by verbs. Knowledge and remembering were renamed in order to create the better understanding of learner’s thinking. Synthesis and comprehension were re-titled. Evaluating and creating were re-organized. Learner retrieves knowledge from long term memory. He constructs the meaning from communication. He applies knowledge to whatever task is given to him. He breaks material into parts and relates them. He makes judgments based on standards. He puts and re-organizes these parts into a new pattern or structure.
Summing up, Bloom’s Taxonomy provides motivation to educators to focus on all the three domains and thus helping create essential form of education. It also helps to equally assess student’s learning. In educational sphere, it is a source of inspiration to develop new teaching strategies.
Ms Chandani Don't be copy. use own idea and own language.
yes dirgha you have good attempt.
What is Bloom Taxonomy?
Bloom’s Taxonomy is a multi- tiered model of classifying thinking according to six cognitive levels of complexity. Throughout the years the levels have often been depicted as a stairway, leading many teachers to encourage their students to “climb to a higher thought”. The lowest three levels are: - 1) Knowledge 2) Comprehension and 3) Application
The highest three levels are: - 1) Analysis 2) Synthesis and 3) Evaluation.
The Taxonomy is hierarchical; each level is subsumed by the higher levels. In other words, a student functioning at the “application” level has also mastered the material at the “Knowledge” and “Comprehension” levels.
Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy:-
During the 1990’s ,a former student of Bloom’s , Lorin Anderson , led a new assembly which met for the purpose of updating the taxonomy , hoping to add relevance for 21st century students and teachers.

the content so that learning occurs.
I am absolutely agree with your understanding about bloom's taxonomy.
Mr. Rajanikant as you described the Bloom's Taxonomy it's good ,but you have to elaborate the lower to higher order thinking skill.
• Blooms Taxonomy:
Blooms’ Taxonomy is ‘a classification of learning objectives’ within education proposed in 1956 by a committee of education by Benjamin Bloom. It means of expressing qualitatively different kinds of thinking. Who also edited the first volume of the standard text, Taxonomy of educational objectives: the classification of educational goals. It refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students learning objectives. Blooms’ Taxonomy divides educational objectives into three “domains”: 1) Cognitive, 2) Affective, 3) Psychomotor. Sometimes loosely described as knowing/head, feeling/heart and doing/heads.A goal of Blooms’ Taxonomy is to motivate educators to focus on all three domains, creating a more holistic form of education. ‘’Taxonomy ‘simply means “classification”, so the well known taxonomy of learning objectives is an attempt to classify forms and levels of learning. It identifies three “domains” of learning, each of which is organized as a series of level or pre-requisites. It is suggested that one can’t effectively- or ought not to try to- address higher levels until those below them have been covered.
• Cognitive:
The most used of the domains, refers to knowledge structures. It can be viewed as a sequence of progressive contextualization of the material. (Based on Bloom, 1956).
Cognitive Domain
Evaluation ------------------------ Creating
Synthesis---------------------------Evaluating
Analysis-----------------------------Analyzing
Application-------------------------Applying
Comprehension----------------Understanding
Knowledge-----------------------Remembering
(Anderson and Krathwohl, 2001) (Revised taxonomy of the cognitive domain following
(Significant modification) Anderson and Krathwohl, 2001)
Skills in the cognitive domain revolve around knowledge, comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation.
• Criticism of the Taxonomy:
As Morshead pointed out on the publication of the second volume, the classification wasn’t a properly constructed taxonomy, as it lacked a systematic rationale of construction. This was subsequent acknowledge in the discussion of the original taxonomy by Krathwohl in the revision of the taxonomy and the taxonomy reestablished on more systematic lines. It is generally considered that the taxonomy played in systematizing a field was more important than any perceived lack of rigor in its construction.
Some critiques of Blooms Taxonomy admit the existence of these six categories, but question the existence of a sequential, hierarchical link. Also the revised edition of Blooms Taxonomy has moved Synthesis in higher order than Evaluation. Some consider the three lowest levels as hierarchically ordered, but the three higher levels as parallel. There say that it is sometimes better to move to Application before introducing concepts. This thinking would seem to relate to the method of Problem based learning.
• Revised Blooms Taxonomy:
(1)Creating
Generating new ideas, products, or ways of viewing things
Designing, constructing, planning, producing, inventing.
(2) Evaluating
Justifying a decision or course of action
Checking, hypothesizing, critiquing, experimenting, judging
(3) Analyzing

Dirgha, you explain bloom's taxonomy is very sweetly and it is good for understanding easily.
Ankit your ideas about Bloom's Taxonomy are good but if you will add the domains of Bloom's Taxonomy so it will become more effective so, i advise you can add all the domains of Bloom's Taxonomy.
hiral, your comment is very nice for easily to understanding and i agree with it.
In 1956, Benjamin Bloom wrote ‘Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: Cognitive Domain’, and his six-level description of thinking has been broadly adapted and used by the educationists in so many contexts ever since. His list of cognitive processes is organized from the most simple, the recall of knowledge, to the most complex, making judgments about the value and worth of an idea. Bloom was the head of a group in the 1950’s and 1960’s that created the classic definition of the levels of educational activity, from the very simple (like memorizing facts) to the more complex (such as analysing or evaluating information).
Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (Traditional)
• Knowledge – Recall information.
• Comprehension – Understand the meaning, paraphrase the concept.
• Application – Use the information or concept in new situation.
• Analysis – break information into parts for better understanding.
• Synthesis – Put ideas together to form something new.
• Evaluation – Make judgements about value.
The very structure of the Taxonomy, moving from the simplest level of knowledge to the most difficult level of evaluation, is not supported by research. This model was criticised by the educators.
As the model is traditional one which modified afterwards by his disciple Anderson (2000) he argues that nearly all complex learning activities require the use of several different cognitive skills. He modified the traditional model of Taxonomy with some basic changes in the chronology of the Taxonomy. The new model given by the Anderson is as follow.
Revised version of Bloom’s Taxonomy
• Remembering - recalling information.
• Understanding – ability to grasp the meaning.
• Applying – Using the information in another familiar situation.
• Analyzing – Breaking the information into parts to explore comprehension.
• Evaluating – Justifying a decision or course of action.
• Creating – creating tasks and producing new ideas.
In the reversed version of Taxonomy, knowledge and remembering were renamed in order to create the better understanding of learner’s thinking. According to Anderson and his colleagues, “Meaningful learning provides students with the knowledge and cognitive processes they need for successful problem solving”. To sum up the understanding of the Taxonomy, it can be said that it provides motivation to educators to focus on the very basic and essential form of education.
Ms Hiral, the understanding which you gave is good but it is more informative, you can make it concise.
Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains
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, rather than just remembering facts (rote learning).
The Three Types of Learning
The committee identified three domains of educational activities or learning (Bloom, 1956):
Cognitive: mental skills (Knowledge)
Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (Attitude or self)
Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (Skills)
Since the work was produced by higher education, the words tend to be a little bigger than we normally use. Domains can be thought of as categories. Trainers often refer to these three categories as KSA (Knowledge, Skills, and Attitude). This taxonomy of learning behaviors can be thought of as “the goals of the learning process.” That is, after a learning episode, the learner should have acquired new skills, knowledge, and/or attitudes.
While the committee produced an elaborate compilation for the cognitive and affective domains, they omitted the psychomotor domain. Their explanation for this oversight was that they have little experience in teaching manual skills within the college level (I guess they never thought to check with their sports or drama departments).
This compilation divides the three domains into subdivisions, starting from the simplest behavior to the most complex. The divisions outlined are not absolutes and there are other systems or hierarchies that have been devised in the educational and training world. However, Bloom's taxonomy is easily understood and is probably the most widely applied one in use today.
1. Knowledge
2. Comprehension
3. Application
4. Analysis
5. Synthesis
6. Evaluation
Cognitive Domain
The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills (Bloom, 1956). This includes the recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural patterns, and concepts that serve in the development of intellectual abilities and skills. There are six major categories, which are listed in order below, starting from the simplest behavior to the most complex. The categories can be thought of as degrees of difficulties. That is, the first ones must normally be mastered before the next ones can take place.
Revised Taxonomy?
-
- Two dimensions match the structure of all objectives- subject –verb- object
- Complete “ crossing “ of rows with colums makes knowledge and cognitive processes equally important
- The use of verbs is critical since the verbs represent the cognitive processes that students use on or with What is Bloom Taxonomy?
Bloom’s Taxonomy is a multi- tiered model of classifying thinking according to six cognitive levels of complexity. Throughout the years the levels have often been depicted as a stairway, leading many teachers to encourage their students to “climb to a higher thought”. The lowest three levels are: - 1) Knowledge 2) Comprehension and 3) Application
The highest three levels are: - 1) Analysis 2) Synthesis and 3) Evaluation.
The Taxonomy is hierarchical; each level is subsumed by the higher levels. In other words, a student functioning at the “application” level has also mastered the material at the “Knowledge” and “Comprehension” levels.
Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy:-
During the 1990’s ,a former student of Bloom’s , Lorin Anderson , led a new assembly which met for the purpose of updating the taxonomy , hoping to add relevance for 21st century students and teachers. This time “ representatives of three groups : - Cognitive Psychologists , Curriculum Theorists and instructional researchers, and Testing and assessment Specialists “.
First, the revised Bloom taxonomy gives slightly different names to the 6 levels of the hierarchy:
• remember (was knowledge)
• understand (was comprehension)
• apply (was application)
• analyze (was analysis)
• evaluate (was evaluation)
• create (was synthesis)
Mr Ahesan whatever you said about Bloom's taxonomy its good but you have to add domains.Bloom's taxonomy how it will help to the learners.
The Bloom’s Taxonomy was created in 1956 by Dr Benjamin Bloom. It is the classification of learning objectives Bloom’s three learning domain of education. There are cognitive domain which is related to knowledge, affective domain which is related to attitude and psychomotor domain which is related to skills. Cognitive domain consider as the skills like knowledge, comprehension and thinking etc. There are six categories of cognitive domain in taxonomy that is knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evolution. The stages develop as recall data and information, understand it and apply it to new situation, examine information and compile it, final stage is about justify the information. Knowledge is the result of thinking and comprehension and synthesis reflect the nature of thinking.
Lorin Anderson, a former student of Bloom, revisited the cognitive domain in the learning taxonomy in 1990s. As the taxonomy reflects different forms of thinking and thinking is an active process verbs were used rather than nouns. He changed the name of six categories as remembering, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating, and creating. It listed in order below, starting from the simplest behaviour to the most complex. The revisited taxonomy generally focuses on the thinking. The first three categories is lower level thinking and last three categories is higher level thinking. This leads to the simple thinking to critical thinking for the particular topic. The six stages are help learners to achieve the goal in thinking process.
The information presented by you is very specific and clear.
The information is present coherently. good attempt.
Bloom’s taxonomy of learning objectives is used to define how well a skill or competency is learned or mastered. A fuller description of Bloom’s taxonomy is given in the following pages but a brief summary of the activities associated with each level is given below.
1. At KNOWLEDGE Level of Learning a student can define terms
2. At COMPREHENSION Level of Learning a student can work assigned problems and can example what they did
3. At APPLICATION Level of Learning a student recognizes what methods to used and then used the methods to solve problems
4. At ANALYSIS Level of Learning a student can explain why the solution process works
5. At SYNTHESIS Level of Learning a student can combine the part of a process in new and useful ways
6. At EVALUATION Level of Learning a student can create a variety of ways to solve the problem and then, based on established criteria, select the solution method best suited for the problem.
REVISED TAXONOMY
led by Lorin Anderson, a former student of Bloom’s, and David Krathwohl, a Bloom colleague who served on the academic team that developed the original taxonomy—released a revised version of Bloom’s taxonomy called A Taxonomy for Learning, Teaching, and Assessing: A Revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. The “Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy,” as it is commonly called, was intentionally designed to be more useful to educators and to reflect the common ways in which it had come to be used in schools.
In the revised version, three categories were renamed and all the categories were expressed as verbs rather than nouns.
Knowledge was change to Remembering,
Comprehension became Understanding,
And Synthesis was renamed creating.
In addition, Creating became the highest level in the classification system, switching places with Evaluating. The revised version is now Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating, in that order.
AFFECTIVE DOMINC:
This domain includes the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes. The five major categories listed in order are:
1. Receiving
2. Responding
3. Valuing
4. Organization
5. Characterization by Value
PSYCHOMOTOR DOMINSE:
The psychomotor domain includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas. Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance, procedures, or techniques in execution. The seven major categories listed in order are:
1. PERCEPTION
2. SET
3. GUIDED RESPONSE
4. MECHANISM
5. COMPLEX OVERT RESPONSE
6. ADPTATION
7. ORIGINATION.
Good attempt Nikhil, you have nicely understand Bloom taxonomy under cognitive, effective and Psychomotor Domain.
Trupti define three classification of B. S. Bloom is systematically way. you have also given categories of the each domains.
good attempt trupti, you have given comprehensible classification of Bloom taxonomy..
Nikhil you are describing three major objectives or domains which are also categorized in different level which are systematically and understood.
As per sunil sir suggested you have attempt two domains which are enough to understand but you can add pychomotor domains.
Good attempt Trupti, you have nicely introducing bloom taxonomy, you have given systematically domains and their categorized in different way with their meaning.
good rajesh vankar as your understanding you have attempt nicely way
Bloom’s taxonomy is a classification system used to define and distinguish different levels of human cognition i.e. thinking, learning, and understanding. Bloom’s taxonomy was originally published in 1956 by a team of cognitive psychologists at the University of Chicago. It is named after the committee’s chairman, Benjamin Bloom (1913–1999). The original taxonomy was organized into three domains: Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor. Educators have primarily focused on the Cognitive model, which includes six different classification levels: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation.
The taxonomy place more emphasis on the hierarchical nature of the framework, asserting that the first three elements—
Knowledge,
Comprehension, and
Application—represent lower levels of cognition and learning, while
Analysis,
Synthesis, and
Evaluation are considered higher-order skills. For this reason, the taxonomy is often graphically represented as a pyramid with higher-order cognition at the top.
In 2001, another team of scholars—led by Lorin Anderson, a former student of Bloom’s, and David Krathwohl, a Bloom colleague who served on the academic team that developed the original taxonomy—released a revised version of Bloom’s taxonomy called A Taxonomy for Learning, Teaching, and Assessing: A Revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. The “Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy,” as it is commonly called, was intentionally designed to be more useful to educators and to reflect the common ways in which it had come to be used in schools.In the revised version, three categories were renamed and all the categories were expressed as verbs rather than nouns. Knowledge was changed to Remembering, Comprehension became Understanding, and Synthesis was renamed Creating. In addition, Creating became the highest level in the classification system, switching places with Evaluating. The revised version is now
Remembering,
Understanding,
Applying,
Analyzing,
Evaluating, and
Creating, in that order.
Bhumika, I have mentioned the thing what you think but due to some technical fault, it has not been published. Actually, I put some arrows between the each level to show the sequence from lower to higher order but it has not been come and it was already exist in word file.
Bloom (1950) has described various means of expressing different kinds of qualitative thinking in his Taxonomy which can be used in classroom as a planning tool. It gives the picture of journey of thinking from basic to complex levels of thinking. He gave classification of levels of intellectual behavior in learning.
Classification of levels:
1. Knowledge – It is the lowest level of learning which defines the previous learning.
2. Comprehension – Reveals the basic understanding of the material.
3. Application – How to use learned material in a new way.
4. Analysis – To understand the structure of material.
5. Synthesis – It contains the ability to join parts and to create a whole new thing.
6. Evaluation – Gives you the ability to see whether the given material serves the purpose or not.
In 1990 Lorin Anderson, former student of Bloom, made changes in the Taxonomy. It is as described as given below.
1. Remembering – Recognize the specific information.
2. Understanding – Higher than remembering but yet a lowest level of understanding from the students.
3. Applying – Students’ ability to use the information.
4. Analyzing – Makes students able to break the material and establish the relationship.
5. Evaluating – Ability of judging the material and method.
6. Creating – Students’ ability to express new ideas.
Hello Prakruti. In my opinion your summary is very apt. It does not give the vocabulary used by Bloom or Anderson, its in your own words. You have very intelligently summarized both of them. At the same time your summary does not give the WHOLE article so readers are compelled to go for Bloom and Anderson. Thank you.
Hello Nikhil. You have expressed your understanding of Bloom's both Taxonomies original and revised in a very easy and comprehensible way. However, in my opinion summary only talks about the core idea of the topic and not so much descriptive way. An you have stated reference too. i am afraid if a summary demands it.Though it is a very nice description. Thank you.
To be used in classroom as a planning toll Bloom 1950) has describes several kinds of qualitative thinking in his Taxonomy. It describes intellectual levels from basic to complex.
Classification of levels:
1. Knowledge – Describes previous learning which is also lowest level of learning.
2. Comprehension –Fundamental understanding.
3. Application – An innovative idea of using material in a new way.
4. Analysis – To understand the structure of material.
5. Synthesis – Gives ability to rejoin the parts of material and construct totally a new one.
6. Evaluation – Gives insight into the worth of the material.
In 1990 Lorin Anderson, former student of Bloom, made changes in the Taxonomy. It is as described as given below.
1. Remembering – Related to specific information.
2. Understanding - More than remembering but also a lowest level of understanding from the students.
3. Applying – How to use the information.
4. Analyzing – To understand the relation between the different parts of material.
5. Evaluating – Ability of judging the material and method.
6. Creating – Students’ ability to express new ideas.
You have described the summary in your words which reveals your understanding. Though, in my opinion, it is too long to be called a summary.
Hello Amey. Your understanding of Bloom's taxonomy is quiet impressive. But if I am not wrong we were supposed to talk about revised taxonomy too.
Bloom's taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education. It is named for Benjamin Bloom, who chaired the committee of educators that devised the taxonomy, and who also edited the first volume of the standard text, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: the Classification of Educational Goals. Bloom's taxonomy refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students (learning objectives). It divides educational objectives into three "domains": cognitive, affective, and psychomotor A goal of Bloom's taxonomy is to motivate educators to focus on all three domains, creating a more holistic form of education. Bloom's taxonomy is considered to be a foundational and essential element within the education community.
1) Cognitive domain:
Categories in the cognitive domain of the revised Bloom's taxonomy
Skills in the cognitive domain revolve around knowledge, comprehension, and critical thinking on a particular topic. Traditional education tends to emphasize the skills in this domain, particularly the lower-order objectives.
There are six levels in the taxonomy, moving through the lowest order processes to the highest:
Knowledge
Exhibit memory of learned materials by recalling facts, terms, basic concepts and answers
• Knowledge of specifics - terminology, specific facts
• Knowledge of ways and means of dealing with specifics - conventions, trends and sequences, classifications and categories, criteria, methodology
• Knowledge of the universals and abstractions in a field - principles and generalizations, theories and structures
Comprehension
Demonstrate understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating, interpreting, giving descriptions, and stating the main ideas
• Translation
• Interpretation
• Extrapolation
Application
Using new knowledge. Solve problems in new situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different way
Analysis
Examine and break information into parts by identifying motives or causes. Make inferences and find evidence to support generalizations
• Analysis of elements
• Analysis of relationships
• Analysis of organizational principles
Synthesis
Compile information together in a different way by combining elements in a new pattern or proposing alternative solutions
• Production of a unique communication
• Production of a plan, or proposed set of operations
• Derivation of a set of abstract relations
Evaluation
Present and defend opinions by making judgments about information, validity of ideas or quality of work based on a set of criteria
• Judgments in terms of internal evidence
• Judgments in terms of external criteria
2) Affective domain:
Skills in the affective domain describe the way people react emotionally and their ability to feel other living things' pain or joy. Affective objectives typically target the awareness and growth in attitudes, emotion, and feelings.
3) Psychomotor domain:
Skills in the psychomotor domain describe the ability to physically manipulate a tool or instrument like a hand or a hammer. Psychomotor objectives usually focus on change and development in behavior and skills.
You give the idea of taxonomy very briefly. It should describe it more. Good attempt.
Nice work Meera. You can make it more descriptive.
Bhumika, I have mention the thing what you suggest to me but due to some technical problem, it has not been published. I have already written the levels and I had put the arrows between the thinking levels in the order from lower to upper side but those have not been published with the content of my comment. Thank you for your suggestion which might help me in my attempts of making my comment more appropriate.

• Bloom’s Taxonomy
In 1956, Benjamin Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists who developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior important in learning. Bloom found that over95 % of the test questions students encounter require them to think only at the lowest possible level...the recall of information.Bloom identified six levels within the cognitive domain, from the simple recall or recognition of facts, as the lowest level, through increasingly more complex and abstract mental levels, to the highest order which is classified as evaluation. Verb examples that represent intellectual activity on each level are listed here.
1. Knowledge: arrange, define, duplicate, label, list, memorize, name, order, recognize, relate, recall, repeat, reproduce state.
2. Understanding (or Comprehension): classify, describe, discuss, explain, express, identify, indicate, locate, recognize, report, restate, review, select, translate.
3. Application: apply, choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, operate, practice, schedule, sketch, solve, use, write.
4. Analysis: analyze, appraise, calculate, categorize, compare, contrast, criticize, differentiate, discriminate, distinguish, examine, experiment, question, test.
5. Synthesis: arrange, assemble, collect, compose, construct, create, design, develop, formulate, manage, organize, plan, prepare, propose, set up, write.
6. Evaluation: appraise, argue, assess, attach, choose compare, defend estimate, judge, predict, rate, core, select, support, value, evaluate.
• BLOOM’S REVISED TAXONOMY
In1990s- Lorin Anderson (former student of Bloom) revisited
the taxonomy. As a result, a number of changes were made. He revised it with some changes and made new term. Changes are like
Creating
Generating new ideas, products, or ways of viewing things
Designing, constructing, planning, producing, inventing.
Evaluating
Justifying a decision or course of action
Checking, hypothesising, critiquing, experimenting, judging
Analysing
Breaking information into parts to explore understandings and relationships
Comparing, organising, deconstructing, interrogating, finding
Applying
Using information in another familiar situation
Implementing, carrying out, using, executing
Understanding
Explaining ideas or concepts
Interpreting, summarising, paraphrasing, classifying, explaining
Remembering
Recalling information
Recognising, listing, describing, retrieving, naming, finding
He believed that creation is most significant part of the students and change it as
creating and evaluation than evaluation and synthesis . Evaluation and synthesis are old term and his former student made it more effective than before. The names of six major categories were changed from noun to verb forms. As the taxonomy reflects different forms of thinking and thinking is an active process verbs were used rather than nouns. The subcategories of the six major categories were also replaced by verbs and some subcategories were reorganised. The knowledge category was renamed. Knowledge is an outcome or product of thinking not a form of thinking per se. Consequently, the word knowledge was inappropriate to describe a category of thinking and was replaced with the word remembering instead. Comprehension and synthesis were retitled to understanding and creating respectively, in order to better reflect the nature of the thinking defined in each category.
Bloom was the head of a group in the 1950’s and 1960’s that created the classic definition of the levels of educational activity. In Bloom’s Taxonomy three domains of educational activities.
1. Cognitive 2.Affective 3.Psychomotor
1. Cognitive
*Knowledge: Information and awareness gained through experience or education E.g. Defines, identifies, memorizes.
*Comprehension: The action of understanding. E.g. Comprehend, extends, rewrites.
*Application: A formal request to an authority. E.g. applies, demonstrates, modifies,
*Analysis: A detailed examination of the elements or structure of something. E.g. Analyzes, diagrams, illustrates.
*Synthesis: The combination of parts to form a connected whole. E.g. Categorize, generates, conceives.
*Evaluation: From an idea of the amount or value of. E.g. Appraises, concludes, critiques.
2. Affective:
*Receiving phenomena: willingness to hear. E.g. Follows, holds, points to.
*Responding phenomena: learner’s participation. E.g. Answers, complies and helps.
*Valuing: consider something to be importance or useful.eg. Demonstrates, explains, justifies
*organized: An organized group of people. Ex. Combines, compares, arranges.
*Internalizing values: Has a value system that controls their behaviour. E.g. Acts, perform, qualifies.
*Psycho motor:
Developed by Dave. Psycho motor objectives usually focus on change and/or development in behavior and/or skills.
Good attempt.
As per studying and my understanding ,B. S. Bloom has classified the learning objectives in three categories:
1. Cognitive objective.2. Affective objectives, and3. Psycho-motor objectives.
COGNITIVE OBJECTIVES/ DOMAIN
The Cognitive Domain receives the most attention in instructional programs and includes objectives related to information or knowledge. Benjamin Bloom and his colleagues (1956) developed a widely accepted taxonomy, referred to as Bloom's Taxonomy (method of classification on differing levels of higher order thinking) for cognitive objectives.
Taxonomy of Cognitive Educational Objectives and Learning Outcomes given by B. S. Bloom as mentioned below:
The cognitive domain of the taxonomy consists of six broad categories of cognitive learning arranged in an order to increase complexity:
A. Knowledge: (remembering facts, terms and principles in the form they are learned).
B Comprehension: ( understanding material without necessarily relating it to other material).
C. Application: ( using generalizations or abstractions appropriately in concrete situations).
D. Analysis: (breakdown the material into constitutions).
E. Synthesis: (combining elements into a new structure)
F. Evaluation: (judging the value of material for a specified purpose).
REVISED BLOOM’S TAXONOMY
This taxonomy has been adapted by Anderson for relevance in 21st century learning and remains the most significant model used. Six levels of learning are in the classification.
1. Remembering- (the lowest cognitive level) requires the student to recall or recognize specific information.
2. Understanding- Objectives written on the understanding level, although a higher level of mental ability than remembering requires the lowest level of understanding from the student.
3. Applying- require the learner to implement (use) the information.
4. Analyzing- require the learner to break the information into component parts and describe the relationship.
5. Evaluating- require the student to make a judgment about materials or methods.
6. Creating- require the student to generate new ideas, products and ways of viewing things.
AFFECTIVE OBJECTIVES/DOMAIN
This taxonomy has been developed by Krathwohl
This domain includes the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes. The five major categories listed in order are:
1. Receiving phenomena- to exhibit awareness, willingness and attention towards the new phenomenon.
2. Responding -actively participate by attending and reacting to the phenomenon.
3. Valuing- to attach worth or value to a particular object, phenomenon or behavior.
4. Organization- to organize values into priorities by contrasting different values, resolving conflicts between them, and creating a unique value system.
5. Characterization (Internalizing values) - require the student to have a value system that controls his/her behavior.
PSYCHOMOTOR OBJECTIVES/ DOMAIN
-Developed by Simpson.
The psychomotor domain includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas. Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance, procedures, or techniques in execution. The seven major categories listed in order are:
1. Perception- the ability to use sensory cues to guide motor activity.
2. Set- to have readiness to act.
3. Guided response- to be ready to learn a complex skill
4. Mechanism- to learn a complex skill
5. Complex Overt Response- to skillful perform motor acts
6. Adaptation- Objectives written on the adaptation level require that the student has well developed skills and the individual can modify movement patterns to fit special requirements.
7. Origination- Objectives written on the origination level require the student to create new movement patterns to fit a particular situation or specific problem.

BLOOM’S TAXONOMY
Benjamin Bloom’s Taxonomy of cognitive objectives developed in 1950s. Bloom classified the different kinds of thinking level. This taxonomy adapted for classroom use as a planning tool or also provides a way to organize thinking skills into six different levels, from the most basic to the higher order levels of thinking. In 1990s Lorin Anderson (former student of Bloom) revisited the taxonomy.
Classification of levels:
1) Knowledge
Knowledge is defined as the remembering of previously learned material. It represents the lowest level of learning outcomes in the
cognitive domain.
2) Comprehension
Comprehension is defined as the ability to grasp the meaning of material. It represents the lowest level of understanding.
3)Application.
Application refers to the ability to use learned material in new and concrete situations.
4) Analysis
Analysis refers to the ability to break down material into its component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood.
5) Synthesis
Synthesis refers to the ability to put parts together to form a new whole.
6) Evaluation
Evaluation is concerned with the ability to judge the value of material for a given purpose.
Revised version of Bloom’s Taxonomy by Anderson :
In 1990s, Lorin Anderson as a former student of Bloom revised Bloom’s taxonomy. As a result, a number of changes were made which will see in the following way:
1. Remembering- Objectives written on the remembering level requires the student to recall or recognize specific information. Below are verbs appropriate for objectives written at the remembering level.
2. Understanding- Objectives written on the understanding level, although a higher level of mental ability than remembering requires the lowest level of understanding from the student.
3. Applying- Objectives written on the applying level require the learner to implement the information.
4. Analyzing- Objectives written on the analyzing level require the learner to break the information into component parts and describe the relationship.
5. Evaluating- Objectives written on the evaluating level require the student to make a judgment about materials or methods.
6. Creating- Objectives written on the creating level require the student to generate new ideas, products and ways of viewing things.
In Bloom’s taxonomy, he talks about three important domains of educational activities. The three types, or
Domains, of knowledge they defined are cognitive (knowledge), affective
(Attitudes) and psychomotor (physical skills).
*Cognitive:
Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation.
*Affective
Receiving Phenomena, Responding to Valuing, Organization and Internalizing values
*Psychomotor domain by Dave
Imitation, Manipulation, Precision, Articulation and Naturalization.
*BLOOM’S REVISED TAXONOMY
In revised taxonomy the names of six major categories were changed from noun to verb forms. Creating, Evaluation, Analysing, Understanding and Remembering.
Comprehension and synthesis were retiled to understanding and creating respectively, in order to better reflect the nature of the thinking defined in each category.
Bloom's Taxonomy is a convenient way to describe the degree to which we want our students to understand and use concepts, to demonstrate particular skills, and to have their values, attitudes, and interests affected.
Yes dear atulbhai you are a written much thing about balington bloom theary but his only revised one person and he was corin Anderson. ..
Bloom's Taxonomy model is in three parts, or 'overlapping domains'. Again, Bloom used rather academic language, but the meanings are simple to understand:
1. Cognitive domain (intellectual capability, ie., knowledge, or 'think')
2. Affective domain (feelings, emotions and behaviour, ie., attitude, or 'feel')
3. Psychomotor domain (manual and physical skills, ie., skills, or 'do')
This has given rise to the obvious short-hand variations on the theme which summarise the three domains; for example, Skills-Knowledge-Attitude, KAS, Do-Think-Feel, etc.
Various people have since built on Bloom's work, notably in the third domain, the 'psychomotor' or skills, which Bloom originally identified in a broad sense, but which he never fully detailed. This was apparently because Bloom and his colleagues felt that the academic environment held insufficient expertise to analyse and create a suitable reliable structure for the physical ability 'Psychomotor' domain. While this might seem strange, such caution is not uncommon among expert and highly specialised academics - they strive for accuracy as well as innovation. In Bloom's case it is as well that he left a few gaps for others to complete the detail; the model seems to have benefited from having several different contributors fill in the detail over the years, such as Anderson, Krathwhol, Masia, Simpson, Harrow and Dave (these last three having each developed versions of the third 'Psychomotor' domain).
In each of the three domains Bloom's Taxonomy is based on the premise that the categories are ordered in degree of difficulty. An important premise of Bloom's Taxonomy is that each category (or 'level') must be mastered before progressing to the next. As such the categories within each domain are levels of learning development, and these levels increase in difficulty.
The simple matrix structure enables a checklist or template to be constructed for the design of learning programmes, training courses, lesson plans, etc. Effective learning - especially in organisations, where training is to be converted into organisational results - should arguably cover all the levels of each of the domains, where relevant to the situation and the learner.
The learner should benefit from development of knowledge and intellect (Cognitive Domain); attitude and beliefs (Affective Domain); and the ability to put physical and bodily skills into effect - to act (Psychomotor Domain).
