Creation of Blooms Taxonomy by Benjamin Bloom
Blooms Taxonomy was created in the 1950s by educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom and colleagues. The three lower order thinking/cognitive skills of Blooms Taxonomy were knowledge, comprehension, and application which all include concrete thinking, memorization, and understanding. The higher order thinking skills were analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. They deal with abstract, critical metacognitive creative thinking. -
In the 1990s the BloomsTaxonomy was updated by David Krathwohl and Lorin Anderson
The different parts of the taxonomy were changed to action verbs. Knowledge was replaced with remember; comprehension replaced with understand; application replaced with apply; analysis replaced with analyze; synthesis replaced with create and evaluation replaced with evaluate. Also, evaluate was moved second from the top and create was moved on top. There were different models made to create equal emphasis on each area. Later it was flipped to create more emphasis of the top parts of it. -
Later Blooms Revised Taxonomy was Published by Lorin Anderson and David Krathwohl
Blooms Revised Taxonomy was finally published. Anderson and Krathwohl changed the location of some of the verbs and changed their form. -
Digital Taxonomy was Developed by Andrew Churches
Bloom's Digital Taxonomy is about using technology and digital tools to facilitate learning. This Taxonomy has power verbs that can be used to help create and develop lessons, rubrics, and curriculum mapping and more.
