Bloom | MCQs

Explanation

• Knowledge
• Comprehension
• Application
• Analysis
• Synthesis (Creating new ideas/products)
• Evaluation (Judging value based on criteria)

Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (2001)

In the revised version by Anderson & Krathwohl, the levels were updated to:

1. Remembering
2. Understanding
3. Applying
4. Analyzing
5. Evaluating
6. Creating (New highest level, replacing Synthesis)

Explanation

• Evaluating is considered the most complex skill in the cognitive domain of Bloom’s taxonomy.
• It involves making judgments based on criteria and standards, which requires a deeper level of critical thinking and analysis compared to other cognitive skills such as remembering or understanding.

Explanation

Remembering is the simplest skill in Bloom's taxonomy's cognitive domain,

focusing on the ability to recall information.

It is a fundamental skill that sets:

• the stage for deeper comprehension
• and application of knowledge in various academic
• and real-world settings.
  

Explanation

In Bloom's taxonomy, "Recall" falls under the Knowledge level, which is the lowest cognitive level.

It involves remembering facts, terms, and basic concepts without necessarily understanding them.

Bloom's Taxonomy Hierarchy (Original Version):

1. Knowledge (Recall)
2. Comprehension
3. Application
4. Analysis
5. Synthesis
6. Evaluation

Explanation

In Bloom's Taxonomy, Comprehension refers to understanding and interpreting the meaning of information.

It includes skills like summarizing, explaining, and translating ideas into new contexts.

Explanation

Bloom's Taxonomy originally had six levels, which are:

1. Knowledge (Remembering) - Recalling facts and basic concepts.
2. Comprehension (Understanding) - Explaining ideas or concepts.
3. Application - Using information in new situations.
4. Analysis - Breaking down information into parts and understanding its structure.
5. Synthesis (Evaluating in the revised taxonomy) - Combining parts to create a new whole.
6. Evaluation (Creating in the revised taxonomy) - Making judgments based on criteria and standards.

The taxonomy was revised in 2001, and the names of some levels were changed, but the number of levels remains six.

Explanation

India's conglomerate Adani Group founder and chairman Gautam Adani surpassed Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Industries Ltd to become the richest person in Asia.  As per the latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index stats.

Gautam Adani is now one of the top 10 wealthiest people in the world and has a net worth of $88.5 billion, which is roughly $600 million more than Mukesh Ambani's net worth.

Mukesh Ambani ranked first in the list of the wealthiest person in India and Asia in November 2021, with Gautam Adani trailing him by about $2.2 billion.

Explanation

The "Knowledge" level is the first stage of Bloom’s taxonomy, involving recall of facts and basic concepts.

Actions like listing, defining, and identifying fall under this category.

Explanation

Benjamin Bloom developed the Bloom's Taxonomy, categorizing learning objectives from simple to complex, progressing from factual knowledge to higher-level conceptual understanding.

His taxonomy is widely used to structure educational goals and assess cognitive learning.

Explanation

Benjamin Bloom’s Taxonomy classifies educational goals into a hierarchy from lower-order to higher-order thinking skills (like remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating).

It helps teachers design curriculum and assessments according to different levels of cognitive complexity.
