Question 1: Cognitive Levels in the Natural Science and
Technology Curriculum
1.1.1 Describe how the levels of Bloom's Taxonomy are
classified into cognitive levels used for assessment in the
Natural Science and Technology curriculum. (5)
Bloom's Taxonomy categorizes cognitive skills from basic to
advanced levels, and this structure is often adapted for educational
assessments. In the Natural Science and Technology (NST) CAPS
document, Bloom's Taxonomy is used to guide assessment by
categorizing cognitive skills into three main levels:
1. Lower-order Cognitive Levels:
o Remembering: Recalling facts and basic concepts (e.g.,
memorizing scientific terms, definitions).
o Understanding: Explaining ideas or concepts (e.g.,
describing processes, interpreting diagrams).
2. Middle-order Cognitive Levels:
o Applying: Using information in new situations (e.g.,
, o Analyzing: Breaking information into parts to explore
relationships (e.g., comparing different scientific
phenomena, identifying causes and effects).
3. Higher-order Cognitive Levels:
o Evaluating: Justifying a decision or course of action
(e.g., critiquing scientific methods, assessing data
accuracy).
o Creating: Producing new or original work (e.g.,
designing experiments, proposing new solutions).
1.1.2 How should the marks be distributed based on the
cognitive levels described in question 1.1.1? (3)
The distribution of marks in the NST curriculum is designed to
reflect a balanced assessment across different cognitive levels,
ensuring that students are evaluated on a range of skills from basic
recall to higher-order thinking. The typical mark distribution is as
follows:
1. Lower-order Cognitive Levels (Remembering and
Understanding): 40%
2. Middle-order Cognitive Levels (Applying and Analyzing):
40%
3. Higher-order Cognitive Levels (Evaluating and Creating):
20%
This distribution ensures that while foundational knowledge is
important, significant emphasis is also placed on application,
analysis, evaluation, and creation.
1.2 Using your own understanding, how would you explain the
cognitive levels in the taxonomy? (12)
