Education is a process of bringing about changes in the individuals in desired directions i.e., enabling them to perform certain skills, to develop a certain understanding, etc. The desirable outcome of a learning experience as a result of participating in some instructional activities, are to be subjected to a proper framework of classification.

Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives

  • He has adopted a three-dimensional division of Learning experiences which are classified into three domains, that is, Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor. (knowing, feeling, doing: Head, -Heart, Hand).
  • According to Bloom, learning of concepts and abstractions involves a higher order of cognitive learning outcome such as constructing, formulating, investigating, etc. whereas learning of facts and sequences, learning roles and action sequences and learning of awareness and valuing makes use of the lower/basic order of the cognitive learning outcome, as understood from the figure given below:
