Bloom’s Taxonomy (original) 1. Knowledge - Recall data or information Verbs to describe outcomes - defines; describes; enumerates; identifies; labels; lists; matches; names; reads; records; reproduces; selects; states; views; writes;. 2. Comprehension: understanding meaning, translation, and interpretation of instructions and problems Verbs to describe outcomes - classifies; cites; converts; describes; discusses; estimates; explains; generalizes; gives examples; illustrates; makes sense out of; paraphrases; restates (in own words); summarizes; traces; understands. 3. Application: Use a concept in a new situation; applying what was learned in the classroom into novels situations Verbs to describe outcomes - acts; administers; applies; articulates; assesses; charts; collects; computes; constructs; contributes; controls; demonstrates; determines; develops; discovers; establishes; extends; implements; includes; informs; instructs; operationalizes; participates; predicts; prepares; preserves; produces; projects; provides; relates; reports; shows; solves; teaches; transfers; uses; utilizes. 4. Analysis: Separates material or concepts into component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood Verbs that describe outcomes - analyzes; breaks down; categorizes; compares; contrasts; correlates; diagrams; differentiates; discriminates; distinguishes; focuses; illustrates; infers; limits; outlines; points out; prioritizes; recognizes; separates; subdivides. 5. Synthesis: Builds a structure or pattern from diverse elements; put parts together to form a whole, with emphasis on creating a new meaning or structure Verbs that describe outcomes - adapts; anticipates; collaborates; combines; communicates; compiles; composes; creates; designs; develops; devises; expresses; facilitates; formulates; generates; hypothesizes; incorporates; individualizes; initiates; integrates; intervenes; invents; models; modifies; negotiates; plans; progresses; rearranges; reconstructs; reinforces; reorganizes; revises; structures; substitutes; validates. 6. Evaluation: Making judgments about the value of ideas or materials Verbs that describe outcomes - appraises; compares & contrasts; concludes; criticizes; critiques; decides; defends; interprets; judges; justifies; reframes; supports. Bloom’s taxonomy (Revised) 1. Remembering: can the student recall or remember the information? Verbs that describe outcomes - define, duplicate, list, memorize, recall, repeat, reproduce state 2. Understanding: can the student explain ideas or concepts? Verbs that describe outcomes - classify, describe, discuss, explain, identify, locate, recognize, report, select, translate, paraphrase 3. Applying: can the student use the information in a new way? Verbs that describe outcomes - choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, operate, schedule, sketch, solve, use, write. 4. Analyzing: can the student distinguish between the different parts? Verbs that describe outcomes - appraise, compare, contrast, criticize, differentiate, discriminate, distinguish, examine, experiment, question, test. 5. Evaluating: can the student justify a stand or decision? Verbs that describe outcomes - appraise, argue, defend, judge, select, support, value, evaluate 6. Creating: can the student create new product or point of view? Verbs that describe outcomes - assemble, construct, create, design, develop, formulate, write.
