Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework for categorizing educational goals developed by Benjamin Bloom and his collaborators in 1956. The taxonomy consists of six main categories: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. Each category contains subcategories that lie along a continuum from simple to complex and concrete to abstract. The revised taxonomy (2001) includes a separate taxonomy of the types of knowledge used in cognition: Factual Knowledge, Conceptual Knowledge, Procedural Knowledge, and Metacognitive Knowledge. The authors suggest using Bloom's Taxonomy to establish learning objectives, organize objectives, design assessment tasks, and ensure instruction and assessment alignment. The revised taxonomy also includes examples of applications in the K-12 setting, which can be easily adaptable to the university setting.
