Many years ago,an educator named Benjamin Bloom developed a classification system we now refer to as Bloom’s Taxonomy to assist teachers in recognizing their various levels of question – asking(among other things). The system contains six levels, which are arranged hierarchical form, moving from the lowest level of cognition (or from the least complex to the most complex)
- Knowledge
- Comprehension
- Application
- Analysis
- Synthesis
- Evaluation
