Blum's taxonomy
Blum's taxonomy is a framework that categorizes levels of cognitive skills involved in learning. It helps educators understand and organize activities from basic recall of facts (like remembering) to more complex thinking processes, such as analyzing, applying, and creating new ideas. Think of it as steps moving from simple memory tasks to higher-order thinking that requires understanding, reasoning, and innovation. This structured approach guides the design of lessons and assessments to promote deeper learning and intellectual development.
