Bloom's Taxonomy

Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education. It refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students.

It identifies three 'domains' of learning each of which is organised as a series of levels. It is suggested that one cannot effectively — or ought not try to — address higher levels until those below them have been covered.

The three domains are:

1. cognitive
2. affective
3. psycho-motor
