"Taxonomy” simply means “classification”
In 1956 Benjamin Bloom along with
Educationists developed this Taxonomy
This Team divided taxonomy into three
domains.
Goal of Bloom's Taxonomy is to motivate
educators to focus on three domains, creating a
more holistic form of education.
These three domains are given as below.
Knowledge
•Cognitive
Attitude
•Affective
Skill
•Psychomotor
It contains 6 levels, Knowledge,
Comprehension, Application, Analysis,
Synthesis, Evaluation.
It contains 5 levels, Receiving, Responding,
Valuing, Organizing, Characterizing.
It consists of 7 levels, Perception, Set, Guided
Response, Mechanism, Complex Response,
Adaptation, Organization.

(structure/elem
ents)
4. Organize
personal value
system
4. Articulation
(combine,
integrate related
skills)
5. Synthesize
(create/build)
5. Internalize
value system
(adopt
behavior)
5. Naturalization
(automate,
become expert)
6. Evaluate
(assess, judge in
relational
terms)
Bloom’s Taxonomy is important as it focus on
 Achievement of learners

 HOTS (High Order Thinking Skills)
 Playing role in the process of learning and
instruction.
 Distinguishing among different levels and
outcomes of learning
