Bloom’s Taxonomy In 1956, Benjamin Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists who developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior important in learning. During the 1990's a new group of cognitive psychologist, lead by Lorin Anderson (a former student of Bloom's), updated the taxonomy reflecting relevance to 21st century work.

2. Affective Your attitude is a little thing, but it makes a big difference. It's your attitude that determines your altitude.

2. Affective Receiving phenomena: Awareness, willingness to hear, selected attention. Responding to phenomena: Active participation on the part of the learners.  Valuing: The worth or value a person attaches to a particular object, phenomenon, or behavior. 

2. Affective (contd. ) 4. Organization: Organizes values into priorities; emphasis is on comparing, relating, and synthesizing values. 5. Characterization (Internalizing values): Has a value system that controls their behavior.

3. Psychomotor Action speaks louder than words

3. Psychomotor Imitation: Observing and patterning behavior after someone else Manipulation: Being able to perform certain actions by following instructions and practicing Precision: Refining, becoming more exact. Articulation: Coordinating a series of actions, achieving harmony and internal consistency Naturalization: Having high level performance become natural, without needing to think much about it.
