According to Bloom's traditional taxonomy, the highest level of learning in the cognitive domain is?
AApplication
BEvaluation ✓ Correct
CAnalysis
DComprehension
Correct answer: (B) Evaluation
Explanation
In Bloom's original taxonomy, evaluation is the highest level of the cognitive domain, involving judgement against criteria.
Application, using knowledge in new situations, sits in the middle of the six levels.
Analysis, breaking material into parts, lies just below synthesis and evaluation.
Comprehension, understanding meaning, is only the second, lower level.
The six original levels ascend as knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
The 2001 revised taxonomy by Anderson and Krathwohl places create at the top instead.
