Bloom's Taxonomy

Critical Thinking Activities for Learners

Critical thinking is a skill that goes beyond memorization. It is highly encouraged that

students are taught this aptitude to enable them think creatively, connect between dots and

solve problem. There are several activities that students should take part in to ensure this

critical skill is learnt successfully. While these exercises may look a little different from one

writer to another, its intended purpose is the same.

To start with, it is critical to ask students questions as this will enable to apply what

they have studied. This activity is known to build learners’ self-esteem as well as ability to

solve problems on their own. Students should be encouraged to make decisions on their own

to enable them to apply what they have learnt (Brookhart & Nitko, 2014). Working in groups

and allowing them to incorporate different viewpoints will not only allow learners get

exposed to thought processes but also giving them a chance to learn from each’s standpoint

before settling on the best option. Other activities may include brainstorming, connecting

different ideas and inspired creativity.

Bloom's six levels of cognitive behaviors

Activities that learners can employ while learning and using Bloom's six levels of

cognitive behaviors includes the following.

Remembering

Remembering entails regaining knowledge taught in class. Suggested activities

involves answering true or false questions and enumerating time’s table.

Understanding

This level required learners to build relationships and construct meaning (Forehand,

2005). Example of activities includes classifying animals into their classes such as

amphibians terrestrial among others.

Applying

Applying implicates memorizing what has been taught, mastery of the knowledge,

and ability to apply it in real-life. An activity example includes resolving a dispute of two

countries and repair of an electric gadget.

Analyzing

This level enables the learner to explore the knowledge acquired to make judgements,

associations, or relationships. It involves breaking down complex information into layman

language for better understanding. A good example is the ability for a student to explain why

some past rulers were successful leaders while other were terrible failures.

Evaluating

This level will test the learner if they can make critical-based verdict during critiquing

and examination; for example, reading and writing a book review.

Creating

Final level requires the learner to combine all the above steps and create a fresh

intelligible product which can either be physical or theoretical. A good example can be

designing a 3D car model on a computer.
