Bloom's Taxonomy
Bloom classified educational objectives as falling into one or more of three categories, or domains -
1/ Cognitive objectives - remembering, reasoning, concept formation and creative thinking
2/ Affective objectives - emotive qualities, e.g. attitudes, interests, values and emotional biases
3/ Psychomotor objectives - muscle and motor skills, manipulation (handwriting, speech, physical education, etc.)
Cognitive factors are arranged under six hierarchical headings -
a/ Knowledge - acquisition & recall of facts, terminology, conventions and generalisations
b/ Comprehension - low level understanding
c/ Application - remembering and combining knowledge in real situations
d/ Analysis - breaking down knowledge into constituent parts in order to find the relationship between them
e/ Synthesis - rearranging and combining constituents to produce new knowledge
f/ Evaluation - arriving at value judgements about old and new knowledge: using value judgements to inform future action
