Bloom's Taxonomy

Bloom's taxonomy has 6 levels of increasingly sophisticated thinking skills.

It was originally developed in a slightly different form to here for classifying educational objectives and with additional variations, dimensions and sub-levels in the full models, it is useful for informing teaching and learning.

The hierarchy reflects, among other things, that a strong foundation for learning is knowledge.
