Bloom's Taxonomy: Higher Order Questioning in The Context of Looking at Works of Art and Reading

Bloom's Taxonomy classifies levels of intellectual behavior important in learning. It identifies six levels within the cognitive domain, from the simple recall of facts at the lowest level to evaluation at the highest. The levels progress from knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, to evaluation. Over 95% of test questions students encounter require thinking at only the lowest level of recalling information instead of higher order thinking. Bloom's Taxonomy provides examples of verbs for each level of intellectual activity to encourage questioning that incorporates higher levels of thinking.

Bloom's Taxonomy

Higher order questioning in the context of looking at works


of art and reading
In 1956, Benjamin Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists who developed a
classification of levels of intellectual behaviour important in learning. Bloom found that over 95
% of the test questions students encounter require them to think only at the lowest possible
level...the recall of information.
Bloom identified six levels within the cognitive domain, from the simple recall or recognition of
facts, as the lowest level, through increasingly more complex and abstract mental levels, to the
highest order, which is classified as evaluation. Verb examples that represent intellectual activity
on each level are listed below.
