2. What are Objectives?
a goal towards which the learner
is made to move
it is a part of an aim. ie., a part

reaching the ultimate distant
goal. ie., the aim anticipated.
3. A taxonomy is really just a word for
a form of classification.
Bloom's taxonomy is a set of
three hierarchical models used to
classify educational learning
objectives into levels of
complexity and specificity.
4. What is Bloom's taxonomy of learning?
Bloom's Taxonomy was created in 1956
under the leadership of educational
psychologist Dr. Benjamin Bloom.
Bloom and his associates developed a
taxonomic model of instructional
objectives in order to promote higher
forms of thinking in education, such as
analyzing and evaluating concepts,
processes, procedures, and principles,
rather than just remembering facts
(rote learning).
5. What Bloom Taxonomy is used for?
Bloom's taxonomy is a classification
system used to define and distinguish
different levels of human cognition—i.e.,
thinking, learning, and understanding.
It is most often used when designing
educational, training, and learning
processes.
it is an ordering of cognitive skills.
7. WHAT IS COGNITIVE DOMAIN ?
The cognitive domain is

acquisition of knowledge, followed
by the more sophisticated
cognitive tasks of comprehension,
application, analysis, synthesis
and evaluation.
8. What is affective domain?
The affective domain is part of a
system that was published in 1965
for identifying, understanding and
addressing how people learn.
9. What is psychomotor domain ?
•The psychomotor domain (Simpson,
1972) includes physical movement,
coordination, and use of the motor-
skill areas.
•Development of these skills requires
practice and is measured in terms of
speed, precision, distance, procedures
or techniques in execution.

17. Application
Specifications:
• Analyses (the unfamiliar situations or problems)
• Establishes (relationship between related items)
• Suggests (alternative methods for solving a
particular problem)

situation)
