### 1.1.1 Classification of Blooms Taxonomy into Cognitive Levels for
Assessment in Natural Science and Technology
Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework that classifies educational learning
objectives into levels of complexity and specificity. In the context of the
Natural Science and Technology Curriculum (CAPS) in South Africa, these
cognitive levels are adapted for assessment purposes as follows:
1. **Knowledge (Remembering):** This level involves the recall of facts,
terms, basic concepts, and answers. Students are expected to remember
and recognize information.
- Example: Define, list, state, identify.
, 2. **Comprehension (Understanding):** At this level, students demonstrate
understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating,
interpreting, giving descriptions, and stating the main ideas.
- Example: Summarize, describe, interpret, compare.
3. **Application:** This involves using acquired knowledge in new situations
to solve problems by applying what they have learned in a different way.
- Example: Use, demonstrate, solve, illustrate.
4. **Analysis:** At this level, students can examine and break information
into parts by identifying motives or causes. They can make inferences and
find evidence to support generalizations.
- Example: Analyze, differentiate, organize, attribute.
5. **Synthesis (Creating):** This involves compiling information in a
different way by combining elements in a new pattern or proposing
alternative solutions.
- Example: Design, construct, develop, formulate.
6. **Evaluation:** This level requires students to present and defend
opinions by making judgments about information, validity of ideas, or
quality of work based on a set of criteria.
- Example: Evaluate, judge, critique, justify.
