Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: Cognitive Domain
Knowledge Defined as the remembering of previously learned material.	The knowledge level includes activities or behaviors that emphasize, either by recognition or recall, of ideas, material or phenomena. Some minor alterations of the material learned originally may be expected, (e.g., labeling of a picture as a dog even though he has never seen that exact picture before) but tasks at this level are mainly remembering information.	List, Identify, Locate, Memorize, Review, Match Name, Read, Recall, Reproduce, Arrange, Define, Duplicate, Enumerate, Identify, Label, Order, Recognize, Repeat, Restate, Select
Comprehension Defined as the ability to grasp the meaning of material.	The comprehension level includes objectives, behaviors, and responses which represent or are indicative of understanding of a communication.	Classify, Cite, Convert, Describe, Discuss, Estimate, Explain, Express, Generalize, Give example, Identify, Locate, Report, Sort, Paraphrase, Summarize, Translate
Application Refers to the ability to use learned material in new and concrete situations.	Skills at the application level are demonstrated by use or application of information, rules, or abstractions when given a new problem in which the mode of solution is suggested.	Show, Record, Apply, Teach, Make, Construct, Translate, Demonstrate, Illustrate, Act, Administer, Chart, Compute, Control, Determine, Develop, Discover, Implement, Instruct, Interpret, Operate, Predict, Prepare, Preserve, Produce, Report, Sketch, Solve, Use
Analysis Refers to the ability to break down material into its component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood.	The analysis level emphasizes the breakdown of the material into its constituent parts and detection of the relationships of the way they are organized.	Summarize, Deduce, Abstract, Order, Classify, Investigate, Dissect, Differentiate, Compare, Categorize, Contrast, Separate, Break down, Calculate, Criticize, Correlate, Diagram, Discriminate, Distinguish, Examine, Experiment, Illustrate, Infer, Inventory, Outline, Prioritize, Question, Test
Synthesis Refers to the ability to put parts together to form a new whole.	Synthesis is the putting together of elements and parts so as to form a whole. This is a process of working with elements, parts, etc. and combining them in such a way as to constitute a pattern or structure not clearly there before. Adds the dimensions of uniqueness and originality to previous skills of putting together elements demonstrated in comprehension, application and analysis.	Hypothesize, Infer, Imagine Estimate, Compose, Produce Combine, Forecast, Invent, Design, Create, Predict, Arrange, Assemble, Collaborate, Collect, Compile, Construct, Create, Devise, Formulate, Generate, Incorporate, Integrate, Modify, Organize, Plan, Prepare, Rearrange, Reconstruct, Revise, Validate
Evaluation Concerned with the ability to judge the value of material (statement, novel, room research report) for given purpose.	Evaluation is characterized by the making of judgments about the value, for some purpose, of ideas, works, solutions, methods, material, etc. It involves the use of criteria as well as standards for appraising the exp\tent to which particulars are accurate effective, economical, or satisfying.
