Bloom's taxonomy is a way of distinguishing the fundamental
questions within the education system. Bloom's taxonomy refers to a
classification of the different objectives that educators set for students
(learning objectives). It divides educational objectives into three
"domains": cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Within the domains,
learning at the higher levels is dependent on having attained prerequisite
knowledge and skills at lower levels. A goal of Bloom's taxonomy is to motivate
educators to focus on all three domains, creating a more holistic form of
education.
The Three Domains of Learning
The committee identified three domains of educational
activities or learning (Bloom, et al. 1956):
- Cognitive: mental skills (knowledge)
- Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (attitude or self)
- Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (skills)
While
the committee produced an elaborate compilation for the cognitive and affective
domains, they omitted the psychomotor domain. Their explanation for this
oversight was that they have little experience in teaching manual skills within
the college level. However, there have been at least three psychomotor models
created by other researchers.
Their
compilation divides the three domains into subdivisions, starting from the simplest
cognitive process or behavior to the most complex. The divisions outlined are
not absolutes and there are other systems or hierarchies that have been
devised, such as the Structure of Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO). However,
Bloom's taxonomy is easily understood and is probably the most widely applied
one in use today.
A.
Cognitive
Domain
The
cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills
(Bloom, 1956). This includes the recall or recognition of specific facts,
procedural patterns, and concepts that serve in the development of intellectual
abilities and skills. There are six major categories of cognitive an processes,
starting from the simplest to the most complex:
- · Knowledge
- · Comprehension
- · Application
- · Analysis
- · Synthesis
- · Evaluation
The categories can be thought of
as degrees of difficulties. That is, the first ones must normally be mastered
before the next one can take place.
Lorin
Anderson, a former student of Bloom, and David Krathwohl revisited the
cognitive domain in the mid-nineties and made some changes, with perhaps the
three most prominent ones being (Anderson, Krathwohl, Airasian, Cruikshank,
Mayer, Pintrich, Raths, Wittrock, 2000):
- · changing the names in the six categories from noun to verb forms
- · rearranging them as shown in the chart below
- · creating a processes and levels of knowledge matrix
The chart shown below compares the original taxonomy with
the revised one:
This
new taxonomy reflects a more active form of thinking and is perhaps more
accurate. Now, the one below here is the revised table of cognitive domain:

Bloom's
Revised Taxonomy not only improved the usability of it by using action words,
but added a cognitive and knowledge matrix.
While
Bloom's original cognitive taxonomy did mention three levels of knowledge or
products that could be processed, they were not discussed very much and
remained one-dimensional:
- · Factual - The basic elements students must know to be acquainted with a discipline or solve problems.
- · Conceptual – The interrelationships among the basic elements within a larger structure that enable them to function together.
- · Procedural - How to do something, methods of inquiry, and criteria for using skills, algorithms, techniques, and methods.
In
Krathwohl and Anderson's revised version, the authors combine the cognitive
processes with the above three levels of knowledge to form a matrix. In
addition, they added another level of knowledge - metacognition:
- · Metacognitive – Knowledge of cognition in general, as well as awareness and knowledge of one’s own cognition.
When
the cognitive and knowledge dimensions are arranged in a matrix, as shown
below, it makes a nice performance aid for creating performance objectives:

|
Apply
|
Analyze
|
Evaluate
|
Create
|
Factual
|
||||||
Conceptual
|
||||||
Procedural
|
||||||
Metacognitive
|
However, others have identified five contents or artifacts
(Clark, Chopeta, 2004; Clark, Mayer, 2007):
- · Facts - Specific and unique data or instance.
- · Concepts - A class of items, words, or ideas that are known by a common name, includes multiple specific examples, shares common features. There are two types of concepts: concrete and abstract.
- · Processes - A flow of events or activities that describe how things work rather than how to do things. There are normally two types: business processes that describe work flows and technical processes that describe how things work in equipment or nature. They may be thought of as the big picture, of how something works.
- · Procedures - A series of step-by-step actions and decisions that result in the achievement of a task. There are two types of actions: linear and branched.
- · Principles - Guidelines, rules, and parameters that govern. It includes not only what should be done, but also what should not be done. Principles allow one to make predictions and draw implications. Given an effect, one can infer the cause of a phenomena. Principles are the basic building blocks of causal models or theoretical models (theories).
Thus, the new matrix would look similar to this:

B.
Affective
Domain
The
affective domain is one of three domains in Bloom's Taxonomy, with the other
two being the cognitive and psychomotor (Bloom, et al., 1956). For an overview
of the three domains, see the introduction.
The
affective domain (Krathwohl, Bloom, Masia, 1973) includes the manner in which
we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation,
enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes. The five major categories are listed
from the simplest behavior to the most complex:
Category
|
Example
and Key Words (verbs)
|
Receiving
Phenomena:
Awareness, willingness to hear, selected attention.
|
Examples: Listen to others with
respect. Listen for and remember the name of newly introduced people.
Key
Words:
acknowledge, asks, attentive, courteous, dutiful, follows, gives, listens,
understands
|
Responds
to Phenomena:
Active participation on the part of the learners. Attend and react to a
particular phenomenon. Learning outcomes may emphasize compliance in
responding, willingness to respond, or satisfaction in responding
(motivation).
|
Examples: Participates in class
discussions. Gives a presentation. Questions new ideals, concepts, models,
etc. in order to fully understand them. Know the safety rules and practice
them.
Key
Words:
answers, assists, aids, complies, conforms, discusses, greets, helps, labels,
performs, presents, tells
|
Valuing: The worth or value a
person attaches to a particular object, phenomenon, or behavior. This
ranges from simple acceptance to the more complex state of commitment.
Valuing is based on the internalization of a set of specified values, while
clues to these values are expressed in the learner's overt behavior and are
often identifiable.
|
Examples: Demonstrates belief in
the democratic process. Is sensitive towards individual and cultural
differences (value diversity). Shows the ability to solve problems. Proposes
a plan to social improvement and follows through with commitment. Informs
management on matters that one feels strongly about.
Key
Words:
appreciates, cherish, treasure, demonstrates, initiates, invites, joins,
justifies, proposes, respect, shares
|
Organization: Organizes values into
priorities by contrasting different values, resolving conflicts between them,
and creating an unique value system. The emphasis is on comparing, relating,
and synthesizing values.
|
Examples: Recognizes the need for
balance between freedom and responsible behavior. Explains the role of
systematic planning in solving problems. Accepts professional ethical
standards. Creates a life plan in harmony with abilities, interests, and
beliefs. Prioritizes time effectively to meet the needs of the organization,
family, and self.
Key
Words:
compares, relates, synthesizes
|
Internalizes
Values(characterization):
Has a value system that controls their behavior. The behavior is pervasive,
consistent, predictable, and most important characteristic of the learner.
Instructional objectives are concerned with the student's general patterns of
adjustment (personal, social, emotional).
|
Examples: Shows self-reliance
when working independently. Cooperates in group activities (displays
teamwork). Uses an objective approach in problem solving. Displays a
professional commitment to ethical practice on a daily basis. Revises
judgments and changes behavior in light of new evidence. Values people for
what they are, not how they look.
Key
Words:
acts, discriminates, displays, influences, modifies, performs, qualifies,
questions, revises, serves, solves, verifies
|
C.
Psychomotor
Domain
The
psychomotor domain (Simpson, 1972) includes physical movement, coordination,
and use of the motor-skill areas. Development of these skills requires practice
and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance, procedures, or
techniques in execution. Thus, psychomotor skills rage from manual tasks, such
as digging a ditch or washing a car, to more complex tasks, such as operating a
complex piece of machinery or dancing.
The seven major categories are listed from the simplest
behavior to the most complex:
Category
|
Example
and Key Words (verbs)
|
Perception
(awareness):
The ability to use sensory cues to guide motor activity. This ranges
from sensory stimulation, through cue selection, to translation.
|
Examples: Detects
non-verbal communication cues. Estimate where a ball will land after it is
thrown and then moving to the correct location to catch the ball. Adjusts
heat of stove to correct temperature by smell and taste of food. Adjusts the
height of the forks on a forklift by comparing where the forks are in
relation to the pallet.
Key
Words:
chooses, describes, detects, differentiates, distinguishes, identifies,
isolates, relates, selects.
|
Set: Readiness to
act. It includes mental, physical, and emotional sets. These three sets
are dispositions that predetermine a person's response to different
situations (sometimes called mindsets).
|
Examples: Knows and acts
upon a sequence of steps in a manufacturing process. Recognize one's
abilities and limitations. Shows desire to learn a new process (motivation).
NOTE: This subdivision of Psychomotor is closely related with the “Responding
to phenomena” subdivision of the Affective domain.
Key
Words:
begins, displays, explains, moves, proceeds, reacts, shows, states,
volunteers.
|
Guided
Response:
The early stages in learning a complex skill that includes imitation and
trial and error. Adequacy of performance is achieved by practicing.
|
Examples: Performs a
mathematical equation as demonstrated. Follows instructions to build a model.
Responds hand-signals of instructor while learning to operate a forklift.
Key
Words:
copies, traces, follows, react, reproduce, responds
|
Mechanism
(basic proficiency):
This is the intermediate stage in learning a complex skill. Learned
responses have become habitual and the movements can be performed with some
confidence and proficiency.
|
Examples: Use a personal
computer. Repair a leaking faucet. Drive a car.
Key
Words:
assembles, calibrates, constructs, dismantles, displays, fastens, fixes,
grinds, heats, manipulates, measures, mends, mixes, organizes, sketches.
|
Complex
Overt Response (Expert): The skillful performance of motor acts that involve
complex movement patterns. Proficiency is indicated by a quick,
accurate, and highly coordinated performance, requiring a minimum of
energy. This category includes performing without hesitation, and
automatic performance. For example, players are often utter sounds of
satisfaction or expletives as soon as they hit a tennis ball or throw a
football, because they can tell by the feel of the act what the result will
produce.
|
Examples: Maneuvers a
car into a tight parallel parking spot. Operates a computer quickly and
accurately. Displays competence while playing the piano.
Key
Words:
assembles, builds, calibrates, constructs, dismantles, displays, fastens,
fixes, grinds, heats, manipulates, measures, mends, mixes, organizes,
sketches.
NOTE:
The Key Words are the same as Mechanism, but will have adverbs or adjectives
that indicate that the performance is quicker, better, more accurate, etc.
|
Adaptation: Skills are well
developed and the individual can modify movement patterns to fit special
requirements.
|
Examples: Responds
effectively to unexpected experiences. Modifies instruction to meet the
needs of the learners. Perform a task with a machine that it was not
originally intended to do (machine is not damaged and there is no danger in
performing the new task).
Key
Words:
adapts, alters, changes, rearranges, reorganizes, revises, varies.
|
Origination: Creating new movement
patterns to fit a particular situation or specific problem. Learning outcomes
emphasize creativity based upon highly developed skills.
|
Examples: Constructs a
new theory. Develops a new and comprehensive training programming. Creates a
new gymnastic routine.
Key
Words:
arranges, builds, combines, composes, constructs, creates, designs, initiate,
makes, originates.
|

psychomotor domain model, but others have. The one discussed above is by
Simpson (1972). There are two other popular versions by Dave (1970) and Harrow
(1972):
