 BLOOM’S TAXONOMY |
| Classification of the different objectives and skills that educators set for learners. It is a hierarchical classification, which means that learning at the higher levels is dependent on having attained prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower levels. It divides educational objectives into three domains and each domain is again divided into different categories, according to the table below. Both the three main domains and their categories are listed from the simplest to the most complex. One of the goals of Bloom's Taxonomy is to motivate educators to focus on all three domains, creating a more holistic form of education. |
