Script

To facilitate purposeful learning, the Bloom's taxonomy attempts to classify educational objectives.

educators distinguish three development domains.

The affective domain is concerned with emotions and learners' well-being.

The psychomotor domain is responsible for development of practical skills and actions.

The cognitive domain targets development of one's understanding. Usually, the biggest part of curricula addresses this domain.

This taxonomy identifies three domains and the cognitive domain reflects those objectives that account for knowledge. This domain lists 6 levels; they are knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

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.

Educational Objectives is the successor lectio.
