--> Instructional and Educational Objectives are classified according to the

kind or level of learning.

Brief History of Bloom Taxonomy: ( Contribution of B.S

Bloom)

Professor Benjamin S. Bloom of the University of Chicago ( USA) is the

pioneer in Bloom's Taxonomy.

Bloom was the editor of the first volume of the taxonomy of educational
objectives (1956).

Bloom (1956) and his associates in the University of Chicago have

produced a most important classification of the taxonomy of cognitive
objectives ( Bloom 1956), Affective Objectives ( Krathwehl, Bloom and
Masia 1964), and Psycho Motor Objectives (Simpson 1969).

B.S. Bloom

There are so many models of classification of objectives have been

developed. The most conceiving Taxonomical Model of Educational
Objectives was developed by B.S. Bloom and his associates in ( 1956). BS
Bloom was the editor of the first volume of "Taxonomy" of educational
objectives", produced by an American committee of college and university

examiners.

In 1995, B.S. Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists. they

produced a handbook " The Taxonomy of educational objectives;

domain.

The 2nd Volume, "Handbook-II: Affective Domain: which is edited by

Krathwohl as published in 1964. Substitute domain taxonomy has been
published by various authors like Simpson, Harrrow (1972) and Dave(
1975).

1. Cognitive Objective - Benjamin Bloom 1956)

2. Affective Objective - Krathwal, Bloom and Masia 1964)
3. Psychomotor Objective - Simpson (1989) and Harrow

Meaning of Bloom Taxonomy:

--> Bloom Taxonomy is the systematic classification of educational

objective in a similar way as Dewey's decimal system tends to classify a
number of books in a library.

In Bloom's Taxonomy Behaviour Is divided into 3 Domains.

1. Cognitive
2. Affective
3. Psychomotor

The weakness of Bloom Taxonomy in Cognitive Domain: It doesn't state

objectives in terms of terminal Behaviour i.e. What the learner should be
able to do at the end of teaching.

What is Bloom's Taxonomy?

Domains of Behavior in Bloom taxonomy:

Cognitive (Knowing)
Affective (Feeling)
Psychomotor (Doing)

which explain the interests, aptitudes, and change in values. Here the
teacher is additionally concerned with what do to it or with it
3. Psychomotor Domain: (Doing / Focus on the body) It includes motor
skills area. It is concerned with How He Does It.

Categories or Levels in Bloom's Taxonomy Cognitive

consideration three sequential activities.

- Firstly, the learning is sensitized or made aware of the existence of certain

stimuli.
- Then the desired intention for receiving the stimuli is created in the learner.
- At last, the efforts are made for the control of the attention of the learner.

2. Responding: In this, once the learner receives or attend to a particular

idea, events or things, he may be made to respond to its as active as
possible.

3. Valuing: It is concerned with the development of typical value patterns,

attitudes, etc.

4. Organizing: It is concerned with the construction of relatively enduring

value structure in the learner by organizing and synthesizing the different
patterns imbibed by him from time to time.

motor Domain:

There are 5 Levels in Psychomotor Domain:

1. Imitation
2. Manipulation
3. Precision
4. Articulation
5. Naturalization

Bloom Taxonomy PsychoMotor Domain

Imitation: It is the lowest level of the psychomotor domain. It starts as

impulse and may grow into an overt act with the capacity to repeat the
performance.
Manipulation: Manipulation involves selecting a certain action in
preference to others, following directions and acting accordingly. 

Bloom’s Taxonomy Revised

During the period of the 1990s, Loring Andeson and psychologist of cognitive
group updated the Bloom Taxonomy of educational objective. The revision
was very minor but important.

Lorin Anderson along with Krathwohl revisited the Cognitive domain in the
Learning Taxonomy in 2001 and made some changes.

Bloom's Revised Taxonomy of Cognitive Domain:

The two main changes of Revised Bloom Taxonomy are:

1. Change in the name of the six categories from noun to very forms.
2. Slightly rearranging them.

Bloom Taxonomy Revised

We can divide The changes in Bloom’s taxonomy into 3 parts:

1. Terminology
2. Structure
3. Empaths

Terminology Change in Bloom Taxonomy: There is different

terminology used in revised Bloom taxonomy. The revised taxonomy
changes the names of all the six levels. The lowest level: Knowledge was
remained and modified as remembering. The word: knowledge’ was
replaced with the verb remembering

Structure change in Revised Bloom’s taxonomy: The first two levels

are swapped from the old to the new.

Changes in Emphasis: The original or older taxonomy was the best tool
which is applied in the younger grades at school. But in the revised
taxonomy it is more universal & easily applicable elementary, secondary,
senior secondary and adult training.

The new terms which are defined in Revised Bloom taxonomy are:

Remembering: Retrieving, recognizing, & recalling the relevant

knowledge from long term memory. This level is based on simply 
remembering or recalling previous leaned information
Home [Link]  MDU Question Papers Lesson Plans Comp

[Link] 12/18
8/6/22, 12:04 PM Bloom Taxonomy

Understanding: Understanding includes the construction of meaning

from oral, written & graphic messages through the interpretation,
exemplification, classification, summarization, inferring, comparing and
explaining. It is basically demonstrating the understating of information by
explaining ideas and concepts.

Applying: Applied is using a procedure by executing and implementing.

It is basically using the information in another similar or familiar situation.

Analyzing: Analyzing means breaking material into the constituent

parts, and determining how the parts are related to one another and to the
overall structure through differentiation, organizing and attributing.

Evaluating: Evaluating is making a judgment based on the criteria and

standards through checking and critiquing. This includes justifying a
decision or justifying a course of action.

Creating: Creating means putting elements together for form a

functional while; and reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure
through generation, planning and producing. Creating includes generating
new products, ideas, and ways of viewing things.

The revised Bloom's Taxonomy can also be explained in the Following Way:

Remembering: Can the student recall or remember the information?

Understanding: Can the students explain ideas or concepts?
Applying: CAn the student use the information in a new way?
Analyzing: Can the student distinguish between the different parts?
Evaluating: Can the student justify a stand or decision?
Creating: CAn the student create new product or point of view?

To be concluded this revised taxonomy of cognitive objectives, given by Anderson

reflects relevance to 21st Century work. It reflects a more active form of thinking
and is more accurate. 
