Term2.png 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, which are:
  • Cognitive, related to mental skills and expressed by the knowledge;
  • Affective, related to feelings or emotional areas and expressed by the attitude;
  • Psychomotor, related to manual or physical abilities and expressed by the skills.
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.[1]
