Bloom’s Taxonomy Level’s

Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework used to categorize and classify different levels of cognitive thinking skills. It is often used by educators to design questions that assess different levels of understanding and thinking. Here's how you can set Bloom's level for the questions asked:

1. Remember (Knowledge level): Questions at this level require students to recall or recognize information. They focus on the facts, terms, or concepts that students have learned. Example question starters include:

• What is...?
• Who...?
• When...?
• List...
• Define...

2. Understand (Comprehension level): Questions at this level assess students' ability to grasp the meaning of information and demonstrate comprehension. They require students to interpret or explain concepts in their own words. Example question starters include:

• How would you summarize...?
• Can you explain...?
• What does this mean...?
• How would you classify...?
• Can you compare and contrast...?

3. Apply (Application level): Questions at this level require students to apply their knowledge to real-life situations or new contexts. They assess students' ability to use their knowledge and skills to solve problems or complete tasks. Example question starters include:

• How would you use...to...?
• Can you show...in a practical situation?
• Can you demonstrate...?
• What examples can you find of...?
• How would you apply...to solve...?

4. Analyze (Analysis level): Questions at this level involve breaking down information into its constituent parts and examining the relationships between them. They require students to analyze data, identify patterns, and make connections. Example question starters include:

• What are the components of...?
• How is...related to...?
• What evidence supports...?
• Can you distinguish between...and...?
• What are the causes and effects of...?

5. Evaluate (Evaluation level): Questions at this level ask students to make judgments or assessments based on criteria or evidence. They require students to evaluate information, arguments, or theories and justify their opinions. Example question starters include:

• What is your opinion on...and why?
• How would you defend or critique...?
• Can you assess the strengths and weaknesses of...?
• What criteria would you use to evaluate...?
• Can you rank or prioritize...based on...?

6. Create (Synthesis level): Questions at this level prompt students to generate new ideas, designs, or products by combining or reorganizing existing knowledge. They require students to think creatively and apply their learning in innovative ways. Example question starters include:

• How would you design...to...?
• Can you develop a new...using...?
• Can you propose an alternative solution for...?
• What would happen if...?
• How could you adapt...to...?

    When setting Bloom's level for questions, consider the specific learning objectives you want to assess and the depth of understanding you expect from students. Varying the Bloom's levels of questions can engage students at different cognitive levels and promote critical thinking and higher-order skills.
