Bloom`s Taxonomy for writing lesson objectives

            Bloom`s Taxonomy is a list of verbs that help teachers to write their objectives at the moment to do lesson plans. It is often quite difficult to relate inputs to outcomes in the world of education. Traditionally, much work has been done to develop and provide inputs into the process of education. Those verbs are well-organized into six categories which are; knowledge or remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, create. Each category has its list of verbs which align with each level. According to Benjamin Bloom “Bloom’s taxonomy is a powerful tool to help develop learning Objectives, because it explains the process of learning. Before you can understand a concept, you must remember it. To apply a concept you must first understand it. In order to evaluate a process,, you must have analyzed it. To create an accurate conclusion, you must have completed a thorough evaluation”. The committee identified three domains of educational activities or leaning (Bloom, 1956). The first one is cognitive. The second is affective and the last one is psychomotor.
