 BIOGRAPHY OF BENJAMIN
BLOOM
Bloom continued to develop the Learning
Taxonomy model through the 1960's, and was
appointed as a Professor at Chicago in 1970.

He served as an educational advisor to

several overseas governments including of
Israel and India.
 BLOOMS TAXONOMY MODEL
Taxonomy means ‘a set of classification
principles’ or a ‘structure’
Domain means 'category'.

Blooms Taxonomy Model is divided in 3

categories:
1) Cognitive Domain (intellectual capability)

2) Affective Domain(feelings and emotions)

3) Psychomotor Domain(manual and physical

skills)
 COGNITIVE DOMAIN

 Involves knowledge and the development of

intellectual skills.
 There are six major categories, which are
listed in order below.
 The categories can be thought of as degrees
of difficulties. That is, the first one must be
mastered before the next one can take place.
 COGNITIVE DOMAIN
Knowledge:
Observation and recall of information
Comprehension:
Understanding information, grasp meaning,
translate knowledge into new context.
Application:
Use information, use methods, concepts,
theories in
new situations. Solve problems using required
skills
or knowledge
 COGNITIVE DOMAIN
Analysis:
Organization of parts, recognition of hidden
meanings, identification of components.
Synthesis:
Use old ideas to create new ones, relate
knowledge from several areas ,predict, draw
conclusions.
Evaluation:
Make judgments about the value of ideas or
materials.
 AFFECTIVE DOMAIN

The manner in which we deal with things

emotionally, such as feelings, values,
appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and
attitudes.
 AFFECTIVE DOMAIN
The five major categories listed in order are:
 Receiving phenomena:
open to experience, willing to hear

 Responding to phenomena:
react and participate actively

 Valuing:
attach values and express personal opinions
 AFFECTIVE DOMAIN
 Organize or Conceptualize values:
Organizes values into priorities by contrasting
different values, resolving conflicts between
them, and creating an unique value system.

 Internalize or characterize values:

adopt belief system and philosophy
The Psychomotor Domain was ostensibly
established to address skills development
relating to manual tasks and physical
movement, however it also concerns and
covers modern day business and social skills
such as communications and operation IT
equipment.
For example telephone and keyboard skills,
or public speaking.

The Dave model of Psychomotor Domain is
adequate and appropriate for most adult
training in the workplace.
Simpson’s Version is particularly useful if you
are taking adults out of their comfort zones,
because it addresses sensory, perception
(and by implication attitudinal) and
preparation issues.
For example anything fearsome or
threatening, like emergency routines, conflict
situations, tough physical tasks or conditions.
Harrow’s version is particularly useful if you
are developing skills which are intended
ultimately to express, convey and/or influence
feelings.
For example, public speaking, training itself,
and high-level presentation skills.
