Bloom’s taxonomy

• 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.
