Anderson and Krathwohl Revision

The Anderson and Krathwohl Revision updates Bloom's Taxonomy, a framework for categorizing educational goals. It rearranges cognitive skills into a two-dimensional table: one axis lists six levels of thinking—from basic recall to complex creation, and the other differentiates between knowledge types, such as factual or conceptual. This revision emphasizes active, higher-order thinking skills like analyzing, evaluating, and creating, encouraging learners to engage deeply with material. It provides educators with a clearer, more dynamic way to develop learning objectives, assessments, and activities that promote meaningful understanding and application of knowledge.
