cognitive (knowledge)
affective (feelings)
psychomotor (doing)
Who fed into bloom’s taxonomy
created by Benjamin Bloom - 1956
action words by Leslie Anderson & David Krathwohl
affective domain by Krathwohl - 1964
psychomotor domain by Dave (1970), Harrow (1972), and Simpson (1972)
six sub-levels of the cognitive domain (from minimal to maximal intellectual outcome)
- remember
- understand
- apply
- analyze
- evaluate
- create

classify, describe, discuss, explain, identify, locate, recognize, report, select, translate
key meaning and words for apply
“use information in new situations”
execute, implement, solve, use, demonstrate, interpret, operate, schedule, sketch
key meaning and words for analyze

differentiate, organize, relate, compare/contrast, distinguish, examine, experiment, question, test
key meaning and words for evaluate
“justify a stand or decision”

key meaning and words for create

what are the intellectual standards of thinking
logicalness precision fairness clarity completeness depth breadth significance relevance accuracy
elements of reasoning
purposes questions points of view information inferences concepts implications assumptions
intellectual traits (intellectual...)
humility autonomy integrity courage perseverance confidence in reason empathy fair-mindedness

necessary
consequences
what actually happens
3 ways the mind takes in information
internalizing inert info
forming activated ignorance
achieving activated knowledge
inert information
information you memorize, but do not understand
activated ignorance
taking in and using false information that is thought to be true
activated knowledge
taking in and using information that is true
inference
concludes something to be true after education about it
assumption
concludes something to be true without evidence to think so
clarity
gateway standard
elaboration
accuracy
verify truth
precision
be specific
relevance
be pertinent and related
depth
address all factors, overall more info
breadth
consider all POV/perspectives
logic
combination of thoughts
thought process
significance
most important info
fairness
nonbiased
no vested interests
