Bloom’s Taxonomy Level for Assessment Design
- Bloom’s Taxonomy provides an important framework to not only design curriculum and teaching methodologies but also to design appropriate examination questions belonging to various cognitive levels.
- Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives developed in 1956 by Benjamin Bloom was widely accepted by educators for curriculum design and assessment.
- In 2001, Anderson and Krathwohl modified Bloom’s taxonomy to make it relevant to the present-day requirements.
- It attempts to divide learning into three types of domains (cognitive, affective, and behavioural) and then defines the level of performance for each domain.
- Conscious efforts to map the curriculum and assessment to these levels can help the programs to aim for higher-level abilities which go beyond remembering or understanding, and require application, analysis, evaluation or creation.
- Revised Bloom’s taxonomy in the cognitive domain includes thinking, knowledge, and application of knowledge. It is a popular framework in engineering education to structure the assessment as it characterizes complexity and higher-order abilities. It identifies six levels of competencies within the cognitive domain as shown in Figure below which are appropriate for the purposes of engineering educators.
According to revised Bloom’s taxonomy, the levels in the cognitive domain are as follows:
Suggestive list of skills/ competencies to be demonstrated at each of the Bloom’s level and corresponding cues/ verbs for the examination/ test questions is given below:
