What is Bloom’s Taxonomy and Why is it Important?

Bloom’s Taxonomy is absolutely critical is understanding how we get people to learn things. There are 6 levels in total:

Level 1: Knowledge:

Unfortunately, a lot of companies stop at level 1: Knowledge. They believe that all a learner needs is to be presented with the training. This is of course an untruth!

Level 2: Comprehension:

The learner needs to be able to understand the knowledge. You can find out how by creating tests, assessments and questions for your learners to complete.

Level 3: Application:

The learner needs to be able to apply the information in order to prove that it has sunk in.

Level 4: Analysis:

The next stage is being able to analyse the topic. Learners can demonstrate they confedentally know the info by successfully debating, comparing the subject.

Level 5: Evaluation:

The further we move up Bloom's Taxonomy chart, the more engaged the learner will become. By Level 5, evaluation, the learner should be able to mentor this knowledge and drive it into organisational culture.

Level 6: Creation:

This is where we give the learner full autonomy to build and create on this knowledge to enhance the culture of the organisation.
