QUESTION 1
1.1: Discuss Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning in the Cognitive Domain (25 Marks)
Bloom’s Taxonomy is a foundational framework in education, created by Benjamin
Bloom in 1956. It categorizes cognitive skills into six hierarchical levels, ranging from
simple recall of facts to complex evaluation and creation. The first level, Knowledge,
involves recalling facts, terms, basic concepts, and answers. It is the simplest form of
cognition and serves as the foundation for higher-level thinking. The second level,
Comprehension, entails understanding information, interpreting facts, comparing,
contrasting, and explaining concepts in one’s own words. Application, the third level,
involves using information in new situations to solve problems by applying acquired
knowledge, facts, techniques, and rules in a different way.
Analysis, the fourth level, requires breaking information into parts to understand its
structure, identifying motives or causes, making inferences, and finding evidence to
support generalizations. The fifth level, Synthesis, involves compiling information in
different ways by combining elements in a new pattern or proposing alternative
solutions. Finally, Evaluation, the highest level, involves making judgments about the
value of ideas or materials, using criteria and standards to assess the effectiveness or
significance of a solution, decision, or course of action.
In educational settings, Bloom’s Taxonomy is used to design curriculum, frame
assessments, and guide learning activities. Teachers use it to develop instructional
strategies that promote higher-order thinking, ensuring students not only acquire
knowledge but also apply, analyze, and evaluate it. For example, in a history lesson,
students might first learn key dates and events (Knowledge), explain their significance
(Comprehension), apply historical concepts to modern scenarios (Application), analyze
the causes and effects of events (Analysis), create presentations or essays combining
various historical perspectives (Synthesis), and evaluate the outcomes of historical
events and their relevance today (Evaluation). Bloom’s Taxonomy remains essential for
creating educational experiences that foster critical thinking and deep learning.
