What is the Bloom’s

Taxonomy?

The Cognitive DomainWithin the cognitive domain involves the knowledge and the development of intellectual skills. This includes the recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural patterns and the concepts that serve in the development of intellectual abilities and skills.

Different Cognitive

Categories• Knowledge• Comprehension• Application • Analysis• Synthesis• Evaluation

Question: Using the pervious

lesson plan provided, can you identify the cognitive aspects of the lesson plan?

AnswerAccording to the pervious lesson plan majority of the lesson is based on the cognitive domain. If you answered that the identifying of the different pets, the discussion of why these animals are considered pets, the listing of the different activities that a person can in caring for a

pet and the actual applying of the activities, in order to play the game are all correct. Also the drawing of the picture is considered part of the cognitive domain.
