Blo~~ s Taxonomy http://achieve.psdr3.org/bloom.html Bloom's Taxonomy with Knowledge - Recall Forming questions, which ask for facts to be recalled, is a type of thinking often classified as knowledge. At this level of thought the learner shows in some basic way knowledge of some basics. "Questions often start with words such as who, what, when, or where. The learner may be asked to match, list, recall, underline, pick, say, or show. At the knowledge level, it is easy to decide whether an answer is correct or incorrect." who what why when omit where which choose find how define show spell list match name relate tell recall select label Comprehension - Explain The comprehension level of thinking shows that you understand what you have heard or read. Questions at this level ask the learner to restate something, rewrite, give an example, illustrate, define, summarize, or otherwise prove that the knowledge or basic facts have become internalized. Main idea questions, as well as vocabulary questions, which ask you to define or use the word, are at the comprehension level. compare contrast demonstrate interpret explain extend illustrate infer outline relate rephrase translate summarize show classify Application - Use The application level of thinking asks that knowledge be used in some way. The question may ask you to organize your facts, construct some model, draw or paint an example, collect data from reading or data, and/or demonstrate or dramatize an event. 1 of3 8/5/2013 10:12 AM

For example, a list of problems faced by characters in a reading is analysis. Analysis questions can include take apart, analyze, categorize, compare, contrast, subdivide, classify, or outline. analyze inspect theme categorize simplify relationships classify survey function compare take part in motive contrast test for inference discover distinguish assumption divide list conclusion examme distinction dissect Synthesis - Make it new The synthesis level of thinking asks your mind to play around with new information and form new images. The knowledge you received combines with what you already have to make a new connection. Some process words for synthesis are imagine, combine, role-play, compose, invent, predict, create, design, adapt, develop. build makeup adapt choose originate minimize combine plan maximize compile predict delete compose propose theorize construct solve solution elaborate create suppose test design discuss improve 2 of3 8/5/2013 10:12 AM

A question can ask you to identify an important criterion to complete a task, or ask that you rate something based upon a predetennined criterion. award recommend prove choose rule on disprove conclude select assess criticize agree appraise influence decide prioritize perceive defend opinion value determine interpret estimate dispute explain influence evaluate support deduct justify importance judge measure criteria mark compare rate 3 of3 8/5/2013 10:12 AM

Levels of Thinking in Bloom's Taxonomy and Webb's Depth of Knowledge Bloom's - Old Version (1956) Bloom's - New Version (1990's) Webb's DOK (2002) - Bloom's six major categories were changed from noun to verb forms in the new version which was developed in the 1990's and released in 2001. The knowledge level was renamed as remembering. Comprehension was retitled understanding, and synthesis was renamed as creating. In addition, the top two levels of Bloom's changed position in the revised version. Norman L.
