BLOOM’S TAXONOMY OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT in Action Re-evaluate your group’s categories. What changes would you make? Why? Write one objective for each level of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognitive Development Independent Practice Write 4 Objectives for each domain (affective, cognitive, psychomotor) Write 3 objectives for the interpersonal domain Indicate Related Domain Identify Level within the Cognitive Domain Include parts A, B, C, & D., but not necessarily in that order.
