Bloom’s taxonomy was created in 1956 by Dr. Benjamin Bloom at the University of Chicago. It defines and distinguishes the level of human cognition. Bloom’s taxonomy divides thinking into six cognitive levels of complexity: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating.
Blooms taxonomy
Purpose
The goals of an educator using Bloom's taxonomy are to:
