Bloom's Taxonomy was devised in order to create higher level thinking within education. It is a set of six levels used to classify educational learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity. The six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy are

  • Evaluation

  • Synthesis

  • Analysis

  • Application

  • Comprehension

  • Knowledge

Within Synapse, we've applied Bloom's Taxonomy to our verb picker to allow you to create actionable and effective Learning Objectives.ย 

Selecting a value from the X and Y of the matrix, you can identify the correct verb based on the learning outcome you are looking to achieve. For example, if you were looking for a learner to understand a process, you would select clarify.ย
