Bloom's
Taxonomy
Elvin Cornelio
SP-1
Bloom's Taxonomy
- is a classification of learning objectives
within education .
- it refers to a classification of the
different objectives that educators set
for students

A goal of Bloom’s taxonomy is to

motivate educators to focus on all
three domains, creating a more holistic
form of education.
 3 Domains of Bloom’s
Taxonomy
1. Cognitive Domains. Revolve around knowledge,
comprehension, and critical thinking on a particular topic.

2. Affective Domain. Describe the way people react

emotionally and their ability to feel other living things’ pain
or joy. Affective Objectives typically target the awareness
and growth in attitudes, emotion and feelings.

3. Psychomotor Domain. Describe the ability to physically

manipulate a tool or instrument like hand or hammer.
Psychomotor objectives usually focus on change and/ or
development in behavior or skills.
Six Levels in the Cognitive Domain:

 Knowledge. Exhibit memory of

previously learned materials by recalling
facts, terms, basic concepts and answers.
 Comprehension . Demonstrate
understanding of facts and ideas by
organizing, comparing, translating ,
interpreting, giving descriptions, and
stating the main ideas.
 Application. Using new knowledge, solve
problems in new situations by applying
acquired knowledge, facts, techniques
and rules in a different way.
 Analysis. Examine and break information
into parts by identifying motives or causes.
Make inferences and find evidences to
support generalizations.
 Synthesis. Compile information together in
a different way by combining elements in
a new pattern or proposing alternative
solutions.

 Evaluation. Present and depend opinions

by making judgment about information,
validity of ideas or quality of work based on
Five Levels in the Affective Domain

 Receiving
The lowest level; the student passively pays
attention. Without this level no learning can
occur. Receiving is about the student’s memory
and
recognition as well.

Responding
The students actively participates in the learning
Process, not only attends to a stimulus; the
student also reacts in some way.
 Valuing
The student attaches a value to an object,
phenomenon or piece of information. The
students associates a value or some values to
the knowledge he acquired.

 Organizing
The student can put together different values,
information and ideas and accommodate
them within his/ her own scheme, comparing,
relating and elaborating on what has been
learned.
 Characterizing
The student holds a particular value or
belief that now exerts influence on his / her
behavior so that it becomes a
characteristic.
Seven Levels in the
Psychomotor Domain
 Perception
The ability to use sensory cues to guide motor activity.
This ranges from sensory stimulation, through cue
selection, to translation.
 Set
Readiness to act. It includes mental, physical and
emotional sets.
 Guided Response
The early stages in learning a complex skill that
includes
Imitation and trial and error. Adequacy of
performance is achieved by practicing.
 Mechanism
This is the intermediate stage in learning a
complex skill. Learned responses have become
habitual and the movements can be performed
with some confidence
and proficiency.

 Complex overt response

The skillful performance of motor acts that involve
complex movement patterns. Proficiency is
indicated by a quick, accurate, and highly
coordinated performance, requiring a minimum of
energy.
 Adaptation
Skills are well developed and the individual can
modify movement patterns to fit special
requirements.

 Origination
Creating new movement patterns to fit a
particular situation or specific problem.
