Comment on the application of thetaxonomy to education and schools today.
Propose applications a synthesis for the

WHAT IS ITS GOAL?
The major idea of the taxonomy is that
what educators want students to know
(encompassed in statements ofeducationalobjectives) can be arranged in a hierarchy
from less to more complex
A goal of Bloom's Taxonomy is to motivate
educators to focus on all three domains,
creating a more holistic form of education.

Comprehension: UnderstandingWhatever that means?
Translation: Putting a communication into otherlanguage, other terms or another form of
communication. Interpretation: Where comprehension may require
a reordering of fresh ideas into a newconfiguration
Extrapolation: Making estimates, predictions or
inferences based on the understanding of trends,tendencies or conditions described in the originalcommunication

Analysis is the ability to:
Breakdown a communication into its parts
identifying or classifying its elements. Make explicit the relationship among
elements of a communication.
Recognize the organizational principles of acommunication

Expanding Blooms TaxonomyBeyond Its Original Intent
Application is not limited to the cognitive structuring of learning objectives Amongthe Applications, It works as a guide for:
Practitioners working with learners at all levels in assisting them in:
1. Understanding the structure of knowledge
2. Developing critical thinking skills
3. Understanding the specific purpose of a learning experience
4. Curriculum developers to structure learning experiences consistent with acognitive structure.
5. Determining when and under what circumstances a particular instructionalstrategy or tactic is appropriate
6. Facilitating the purposeful activity of learners in group and team situations
7. Learners to follow in conducting research on a given topic.
8. Developing competence based assessment and evaluative instruments
9. Structuring the agenda of faculty meetings and professional developmentactivities.
10. Add your own initiatives for using the taxonomy

Conclusion
Blooms taxonomy was first developed to
respond to a then current need.
It never caught on at the college level It is seldom adequately applied at the
public school level
It is more applicable now then whenoriginally proposed
