Bloom's Holistic Model outlines a taxonomy of cognitive skills with six levels - Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. The levels build on each other from basic recall or understanding of facts and concepts to more complex skills such as evaluating information, developing new ideas, and defending opinions. The model aims to categorize observable signs of student learning and provide a common language for teachers to discuss educational goals and outcomes.
2012 - Blooms Taxonomy Brief
- 1. Blooms Holistic Model Part 1 - Cognitive
- 2. Eval. Synthesis Blooms Analysis Taxonomy Application Comprehension Knowledge
- 5. Present and defend opinions by making judgments about information, validity of ideas or quality of work based on a set of criteria Judgments in terms of internal evidence Judgments in terms of external criteria Questions like: Do you feel that serving apple pie for an after school snack for children is healthy? Evaluation
- 6. Synthesis Compile information together in a different way by combining elements in a new pattern or proposing alternative solutions Production of a unique communication Production of a plan, or proposed set of operations Derivation of a set of abstract relations Questions like: Convert an "unhealthy" recipe for apple pie to a "healthy" recipe by replacing your choice of ingredients. Explain the health benefits of using the ingredients you chose vs. the original ones.
- 7. Examine and break information into parts by identifying motives or causes. Make inferences and find evidence to support generalizations Analysis of elements Analysis of relationships Analysis of organizational principles Questions like: List four ways of serving foods made with apples and explain which ones have the highest health benefits. Provide references to support your statements. Analysis
- 8. Application Using new knowledge. Solve problems to new situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different way Questions like: Which kinds of apples are best for baking a pie, and why?
- 9. Demonstrative understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating, interpreting, giving descriptions, and stating main ideas Translation Interpretation Extrapolation Questions like: Compare the health benefits of eating apples vs... orange. Application Using new knowledge. Solve problems to new Comprehension situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different way Questions like: Which kinds of apples are best for baking a pie, and why?
- 10. Exhibit memory of previously learned materials by recalling facts, terms, basic concepts and answers Knowledge of specifics: terminology, specific facts Knowledge of ways and means of dealing with specifics: conventions, trends and sequences, classifications and categories, criteria, methodology Knowledge of the universals and abstractions in a field: principles and generalizations, theories and structures Knowledge Questions like: What are the health benefits of eating apples?
- 11. Knowledge, as defined here, involves the recall of specifics and universals, the recall of methods and processes, or the recall of a pattern, structure, or setting. (Bloom et al. 1956 p 201)
