Using the subject resources

Bloom’s revised taxonomy.

There are six levels of cognitive learning according to the revised version of
Bloom's Taxonomy. Each level is conceptually different.

The six levels are:

o Remembering

o Understanding

o Applying

o Analyzing

o Evaluating

o Creating

For each of these levels, the subject resources in this book provide a set of
example questions. These questions can be used as they are provided, or
adapted for the specific knowledge being taught in that unit of work.

Research has shown that the majority of teachers’ questions focus on the
remember and understand levels of the taxonomy. Therefore, it is important to
ensure that teachers provide a range of questions across all the levels.
