Bloom's Taxonomy

Bloom's taxonomy is widely used in educational institutions to categorise learning outcomes into many levels of complexity and specificity. The following are the learning-outcome verbs suggested by Universiti Putra Malaysia for the three main domains: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains. The social domain was added to generalise the scope of the taxonomy.


Extracted from a different source, these are the verbs used to formulate the learning outcomes based on the desired level of the cognitive domain. Image is taken from https://www.getsmarter.com/blog/research-hub/unpacking-blooms-taxonomy-part-2/.
