     Bloom's Taxonomy
    In the 1956, Benjamin Bloom, an educational psychologist working at the University of Chicago, developed his taxonomy of Educational Objectives. His taxonomy of learning objectives has become a key tool in structuring and understanding the learning process. He proposed that learning fitted into one of three psychological domains
    ● the Cognitive domain
    ● the Affective domain
    ● the Psychomotor domain
  • Bloom's Revised Taxonomy

    Bloom's Revised Taxonomy
    In the 1990's, a former student of Bloom, Lorin Anderson with David Krathwohl, revised Bloom's Taxonomy and published
    Bloom's Revised Taxonomy in 2001. Key to this is the use of verbs rather than nouns for each of the categories and a rearrangement of the sequence within the taxonomy. They are arranged below in increasing order, from lower order to higher order.
