BLOOM’S TAXONOMY Underpins the classical: CAP

attained degrees at Pennsylvania State
University in 1935.

Benjamin S. Bloom met his mentor ______________ with
whom he first began to develop his
ideas for developing a system (or
‘taxonomy’) of specifications to enable
educational training and learning
objectives to be planned and
measured properly

develop a system of categories of

identified 3 domains of learning)
learning behavior

Professor
(thinking, knowledge, mental)
Cognitive
(feeling, attitude, emotions)
Affective
(doing, skills, physical)
Psychomotor
This includes
the recall or recognition of specific facts,
procedural patterns, and concepts that serve
in the development of intellectual abilities and
skills.
COGNITIVE DOMAIN
- manner in which we
deal with things emotionally, such as feelings,
values, appreciation, enthusiasms,
motivations, and attitudes.
AFFECTIVE DOMAIN
- manner in which we
deal with things emotionally, such as feelings,
values, appreciation, enthusiasms,
motivations, and attitudes.

- physical
movement, coordination, and use of the
motor-skill areas.
PSYCHOMOTOR DOMAIN
Domains of learning were first developed
and described in the year
1956 - 1972
○ Both involved in describing cognitive
and affective domains.
○ First appeared as 1st author on the
Cognitive Domain
Benjamin Bloom (Cognitive Domain)
Colleague of Bloom for Affective Domain
David Krathwohl
(Psychomotor Domain) who created this taxonomy
Anita Harrow
Mixing domains of learning and using more
diversity in delivery lessons also helps
students create more neural networks and
pathways thus aiding their retention and recall.
NEW VERSION OF BLOOM’S TAXONOMY
They revised the Cognitive taxonomy in 2000-2001
Lorin Anderson & David Krathwohl
● Former student of Bloom
Lorin Anderson
Lorin Anderson revisited the cognitive domain in the learning taxonomy in the mid-nineties and made some
changes:
1) changing the names in the six
categories from noun to verb forms,
2) slightly rearranging them.
● Remembering or retrieving previously learned
material
● VERBS: Know, identify, relate, list, define,
recall, memorize, repeat, record, name,
recognize, acquire
Knowledge cognitive domain (BLOOM 1956)
● ability to grasp or construct meaning from
material.
● VERBS: Restate, locate, report, recognize,
explain, express, identify, discuss, describe,
review, infer, illustrate, interpret, draw,
represent, differentiate, conclude
