Each step in the hierarchy demonstrates increasing learning complexity and higher-order thinking skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The taxonomy is generally used by educators and curriculum designers as a way to explain the expected <a href=\"https:\/\/helpfulprofessor.com\/levels-of-knowledge\/\">complexity of knowledge<\/a>, understanding, and learning for a given task. The action verbs in Bloom\u2019s \u201crevised\u201d taxonomy (Krathwohl &amp; Anderson, 2001) act as a foundation for writing learning outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The six steps of increasing cognitive complexity on Bloom\u2019s taxonomy are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"list-style-type:1\">\n<li><strong>Knowledge (later renamed as Remembering) \u2013<\/strong> At the base level, students can recall fact, terms, and basic concepts. Remembering and being able to repeat knowledge in a <a href=\"https:\/\/helpfulprofessor.com\/rote-learning\/\">rote learning style<\/a> does not imply <a href=\"https:\/\/helpfulprofessor.com\/meaningful-learning\/\">meaningful understanding<\/a> of the content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Comprehension (later renamed as Understanding) &#8211;<\/strong> At this level, learners are expected to go beyond knowing and proceed to demonstrating the underlying meaning of the information. Students may therefore be required to paraphrase and explain the information they&#8217;ve acquired.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Application (Applying) &#8211;<\/strong> This involves the ability to apply acquired knowledge to solve problems. Ideally, application will occur in new situations and context, demonstrating the potential for students to take knowledge outside of the classroom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Analysis (Analyzing) &#8211;<\/strong> This level focuses on breaking down complex information into component parts in order to compare, contrast, categorize, and better understand the structure, relationships, and underlying principles of ideas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Synthesis (later renamed as Evaluating) &#8211;<\/strong> At this level, learners are required to make judgments. They need first to be able to analyze (step 4) in order to come to reasonable judgement statements. Judgments can be about the value and quality of ideas, materials, and methods. Students may choose to develop their own evaluative criteria and apply them to assess ideas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Evaluation (later renamed as Creating) &#8211;<\/strong> The highest level of cognitive complexity, this level involves going beyond their existing knowledge and <em>creating<\/em> knowledge. This may be achieved by combining prior knowledge and skills in innovative ways to create new ideas, products, or perspectives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bloom\u2019s Taxonomy Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This article will explore examples from each level of Bloom&#8217;s taxonomy, in order from lowest to highest: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
