The Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, often called Bloom's Taxonomy, is a classification of the
different objectives and skills that educators set for students.
What Is Bloom's Taxonomy?
The taxonomy was proposed in 1956 by Benjamin Bloom, an educational psychologist at the University of Chicago.
Bloom's Taxonomy divides educational objectives into three "domains:" Affective, Psychomotor, and Cognitive.
Within each domain are different levels of learning, with higher levels considered more complex and closer to complete mastery of the
subject matter.
A goal of Bloom's Taxonomy is to motivate educators to focus on all three domains, creating a more holistic form of education.
The diagram above illustrates the cognitive process dimension of the revised version of Bloom's taxonomy in the cognitive domain
(Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001).
It depicts the belief that remembering is a prerequisite for understanding and that understanding is a prerequisite for application.

objectives. New York, USA: Addison-Wesley Longman.
