Bloom's Taxonomy Learning Activities and Assessments

Bloom’s Taxonomy is a widely-used framework that helps instructors design effective learning experiences. It outlines six levels of cognitive skills, progressing from basic to advanced: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create. By guiding students through these stages, we can promote deeper learning and critical thinking.

Bloom’s taxonomy represented as a triangle with six layers. Remember is the bottom layer with the cognitive skills building up in the following order: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create.

Discover practical uses of Bloom’s Taxonomy by exploring our comprehensive table highlighting learning activities and assessments aligned with each level, helping you create more dynamic and engaging courses that support students at every stage of their educational journey. Use our Bloom’s Taxonomy Activities and Assessments resource to strengthen your lessons and better support student learning!
