Bloom's Taxonomy - Conclusion

Conclusion

In summary, there are six categories / levels of the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create.  According to Educational Origami (n.d.),

Bloom’s Taxonomy in its various forms represents the process of learning.  It has been simplified in some case like the Three Story Intellect (Oliver Wendell Holmes and Art Costa), but it still essentially represents how we learn.

Before we can understand a concept we have to remember it

Before we can apply the concept we must understand it

Before we analyse it we must be able to apply it

Before we can evaluate its impact we must have analysed it

Before we can create we must have remembered, understood, applied, analysed, and evaluated (p. 3).

These six levels of learning are mapped out in the following YouTube video:

A Model of Learning Objectives:  This website provides a handout that details how the revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy in 2001 impacted the “Knowledge Dimension”, which defines the four major types of knowledge along with each of their subtypes and the “Cognitive Process Dimension”, which shows a three-dimensional representation of the six levels along with nineteen associated cognitive processes (Heer, 2012).

Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning Domains:  This website provides a short history of Bloom’s Taxonomy created in 1956 and Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy by Lorin Anderson, who was a former student of Benjamin Bloom, and David Krathwohl, a table of the revised cognitive domain, cognitive processes and levels of knowledge matrix, and some additional useful links (Clark, 2015).
