Bloom's taxonomy is a way of classifying the learning objectives set by educators. Remembering/understanding/applying are considered lower order skills while analysing/ evaluating and creating are higher order/

Understanding

Explaining ideas or concepts/ Interpreting, summarising, paraphrasing, classifying, explaining

 

Applying

Using information in another familiar situation/ Implementing, carrying out, using, executing

 

Analysing

Breaking information into parts to explore understandings and relationships/ Comparing, organising, deconstructing, interrogating, finding

 

 

Evaluating

Justifying a decision or course of action/ Checking, hypothesising, critiquing, experimenting, judging

 

Creating

Generating new ideas, products, or ways of viewing things/ Designing, constructing, planning, producing, inventing
