Bloom's Taxonomy is a domain of learning which classify cognitive domain, psychomotor domain and affective domain. Bloom's Taxonomy of educational objectives are useful for teachers and curriculum planners. It also explains the methods and modes of assessment.
3. Introduction
Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework used in education to categorize
and describe different levels of cognitive learning and thinking
skills. It was originally developed by a group of educators led by
Benjamin Bloom in the 1950s and has since been revised and
expanded upon. The taxonomy is often represented as a pyramid
with six levels, starting from the lowest-order thinking skills at
the base and progressing to higher-order thinking skills at the top.

4. In education and psychology, there are three primary
domains or categories that encompass different aspects
of human development and learning. These domains help
educators and researchers understand and address various
aspects of an individual's growth and capabilities

6. THREE DOMAIS
AFFECTIVE DOMAIN PSYCHOMOTOR DOMAIN
Cognitive Domain
The cognitive domain focuses on
intellectual development, thinking
processes, and the acquisition of
knowledge and skills. It encompasses a wide
range of cognitive activities, including
memory, problem-solving, critical thinking,
creativity, and language comprehension.
The affective domain deals with emotions,
attitudes, values, and the development of an
individual's emotional and social awareness.
This domain addresses the emotional and
interpersonal aspects of learning and
personal growth. It includes areas like
motivation, empathy, self-esteem,
interpersonal relationships, and ethical
behavior.
The psychomotor domain pertains to
physical or motor skills development. It
encompasses the acquisition of physical
abilities, coordination, dexterity, and
muscle memory. Activities in this domain
involve performing physical tasks and
require practice and physical skill
development.

7. COGNITIVE DOMAIN LEVEL 1
REMEMBERING
This level involves recalling or recognizing
information. It includes tasks such as
memorizing facts, definitions, or
concepts. Examples of verbs associated
with this level include "list," "define,"
"label," and "identify."
05
8. At this level, learners demonstrate comprehension and
interpretation of the information. They can explain ideas or
concepts in their own words, summarize information, or
illustrate their understanding through examples. Verbs include
"describe," "explain," "summarize," and "interpret."
COGNITIVE DOMAIN LEVEL 2

Understanding:
9. Applying involves using acquired knowledge and
understanding to solve problems, complete tasks,
or apply concepts in practical situations. It
focuses on the use of knowledge rather than
just the comprehension of it. Verbs associated
with this level include "apply," "solve,"
"demonstrate," and "use."

Analyzing
Analyzing requires learners to break down
information into its components and
examine relationships or patterns. They
may compare and contrast ideas, identify
causes and effects, or analyze the
structure of a concept. Verbs include
"analyze," "compare," "contrast,"
"differentiate," and "diagnose."
11. COGNITIVE DOMAIN LEVEL 5
Evaluating
At this level, learners make judgments and
assessments based on criteria and evidence. They
can critique, justify, and evaluate the validity of
information, arguments, or solutions. Verbs include
"evaluate," "assess," "justify," "critique," and
"appraise."
