NEW BLOOM'S TAXONOMY

 

The New Bloom's Taxonomy provides a framework for classifying the types of knowledge our students will be learning, and also provides a structure for drafting the objectives.

THE NEW BLOOM'S TAXONOMY

The New Bloom's Taxonomy is a way to define the type of knowledge or skill that is to be learned. Ideally, our students will be learning at the higher levels of the taxonomy, that is, in application, analysis, evaluation, and creation. Use the table below to guide you when you develop objectives. If you want students to perform a particular type of thing (e.g., remember) make sure your learning objectives use the appropriate verbs. In this table, the higher order learning objectives are listed higher in the table. Notice that these types of objectives most closely match the kinds of things physicians will be doing in practice.

 

 

Use Bloom's Taxonomy to help you build your learning objectives.   The table below describes the Bloom's Category, provides examples of objectives, and lists performance verbs for that type of objective.
