Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives
Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives proposed in 1956 by a committee of educators that was chaired by Benjamin Bloom. Bloom edited the first standard text on the subject, Taxonomy of educational objectives: the classification of education goals (1956).
The taxonomy refers to classifications of objectives that educators set for students. Bloom's Taxonomy divides the objectives into three domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Within each domain, the ability to learn at higher levels is dependent on having learned the prerequisite knowledge and skill of the lower levels within the domain.
A goal of the taxonomy is to motivate educator to use a more holistic approach to education, addressing the learning needs of all three domains.
Bloom's Taxonomy is considered to be the foundation of our present education methodology.
