Bloom's Taxonomy vs. Bloom's Revised Taxonomy
 
     Bloom's Taxonomy was created almost 60 years ago! As an educator, is Bloom's Taxonomy still relevant today? Bloom's original Taxonomy was originally designed based on three domains. These domains included cognitive, affective and psychomotor. The main focus was on the cognitive domain. It was categorized into six different goals. The original Taxonomy were based on nouns, as the Revised Taxonomy was based on verbs. The Revised Taxonomy was written with the classroom of the 21st century in mind. It also reflects how concepts are taught in modern day. 

  • Both Bloom's Taxonomy and Bloom's Revised Taxonomy include crucial elements for students to focus on while reading a text, or listening to a text. 
  • Though Bloom's Taxonomy was created 60 years ago, many of the same questions can be used when applying Bloom's Revised Taxonomy.
  • Both Bloom's Taxonomy and Bloom's Revised Taxonomy provide students a deeper understanding of the text in a way they are engaged in learning.
