What is Cognitive Domain of Dr. Bloom’s taxonomy ?

 1. Remembering- Recognising or recalling knowledge from memory. Remembering is when memory is used to produce definitions, facts, or lists, or recite or retrieve material.

2. Understanding- Constructing meaning from different types of functions be they written or graphic messages activities like interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarising, inferring, comparing, and explaining.

3. Applying- Carrying out or using a procedure through executing, or implementing. Applying related and refers to situations where learned material is used through products like models, presentations, interviews or simulations.

4. Analysing- Breaking material or concepts into parts, determining how the parts relate or interrelate to one another or to an overall structure or purpose. Mental actions included in this function are differentiating, organising, and attributing, as well as being able to distinguish between the components or parts. When one is analysing he/she can illustrate this mental function by creating spreadsheets, surveys, charts, or diagrams, or graphic representations.

5. Evaluating- Making judgments based on criteria and standards through checking and critiquing. Critiques, recommendations, and reports are some of the products that can be created to demonstrate the processes of evaluation.  In the newer taxonomy evaluation comes before creating as it is often a necessary part of the precursory behaviour before creating something.

6. Creating- Putting elements together to form a coherent or functional whole, reorganising elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning, or producing. Creating requires users to put parts together in a new way or synthesise parts into something new and different a new form or product.  This process is the most difficult mental function in the new taxonomy.
