Researching & Responding to the Arts Stephanie Spillane & Kate Stanway
Blooms Taxonomy Is a classification of learning objectives and goals for students proposed by an education committee of educators in 1956. Although named after Benjamin Bloom, who chaired the committee at the time and edited the first volume, the publication followed a series of conferences designed to improve communication between editors on the design of curricula and assessment. Blooms Taxonomy refers to the classification of different objectives that teachers set for students. It divides educational objectives into three domains – cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Within these domains, students can be engaged in both high and low order of thinking, depending on whether students have attained prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower levels. A goal of Blooms Taxonomy is to motivate and inspire educators to focus on all three domains therefore creating a holistic form of education.
