This document discusses Bloom's Taxonomy, which was developed in the 1950s by Benjamin Bloom as a framework for categorizing levels of thinking skills. It organizes cognitive skills into six main categories from basic recall or comprehension to more complex skills such as analysis, evaluation, and creation. The taxonomy was later revised in the 1990s and renamed to include Creating, Evaluating, Analyzing, Applying, Understanding, and Remembering. It provides a way to structure educational objectives and assessments across different levels of cognitive complexity.
