Blooms Taxonomy refers to the "Knowledge, Attitude and Skills" structure of learning methods and evaluations and to this day still remains an important part of education and education training. There are three parts that make up the structure:
- Cognitive - mental skills (knowledge)
- Affective - growth in feelings or emotional areas (attitude)
- Psychomotor - manual or physical skills (skills)
| Cognitive | Affective | Psychomotor | ||
| knowledge | attitude | skills | ||
| 1. Recall data | 1. Receive (awareness) | 1. Imitation (copy) | ||
| 2. Understand | 2. Respond (react) | 2. Manipulation (follow instructions) | ||
| 3. Apply (use) | 3. Value (understand and act) | 3. Develop Precision | ||
| 4. Analyse (structure/elements) | 4. Organise personal value system | 4. Articulation (combine, integrate related skills) | ||
| 5. Synthesize (create/build) | 5. Internalize value system (adopt behaviour) | 5. Naturalization (automate, become expert) | ||
| 6. Evaluate (assess, judge in relational terms) |
With each part being set out in such a simple and clear way, it creates an affective structure for the explanation and application of learning objectives. The model gives a clear outline to teachers to ensure that the necessary development for students are met and provides a template by which you can assess the strength of exisiting learning.

Bloom's model is an extrememly useful structure for any learner manager and should be incorporated into the classroom as much as possible. It allows students to explore different levels of learning, thinking and experience and can scaffold students higher order thinking skills. As a future learner manager, I intend to utilise blooms model in the classroom everyday, by incorporating the structure into my learning plans.
