Script

Educational objectives specify knowledge, skills, and abilities that a learner should gain as a result of a specified learning activity or a set of activities.

The Bloom's taxonomy attempts to classify educational objectives. This taxonomy identifies three development domains. The cognitive domain reflects those objectives that account for perception and decision-making. This domain lists several levels; they include knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, as well as creative abilities.

To illustrate these levels, let's use an example. When you learn this taxonomy, you would first start recognize, define, and recall it. After some time, you would start to understand, identify, and describe it. Next, you would be able to apply, operate, use, and execute this taxonomy. Later, you shall learn how to analyze, examine, test, and organize that. At the next level, you shall be able to evaluate, value, weight, and critique it. Finally, you may create, design, formulate, and propose its modifications.

Many educational institutions use the taxonomy to build learning sequences.
