•1950s-developed by Benjamin Bloom •Means of expressing qualitatively different kinds of thinking •Been adapted for classroom use as a planning tool •Continues to be one of the most universally applied models •Provides a way to organize thinking skills into six levels, from the most basic to the more complex levels of thinking •1990s-Lorin Anderson (former student of Bloom) revisited the taxonomy •As a result, a number of changes were made (Pohl, 2000, Learning to Think, Thinking to Learn, pp. 7-8) |
Change in Terms
•The names of six major categories were changed from noun to verb forms.
•As the taxonomy reflects different forms of thinking and thinking is an active process verbs were used rather than nouns.
•The subcategories of the six major categories were also replaced by verbs and some subcategories were reorganized.
•The knowledge category was renamed. Knowledge is an outcome or product of thinking not a form of thinking per se. Consequently, the word knowledge was inappropriate to describe a category of thinking and was replaced with the word remembering instead.
•Comprehension and synthesis were retitled to understanding and creating respectively, in order to better reflect the nature of the thinking defined in each category.
