Which of the following levels of Bloom's taxonomy is achieved by rote learning?
ARemembering ✓ Correct
BApplying
CAnalysing
DUnderstanding
Correct answer: (A) Remembering
Explanation
Rote learning, memorizing facts without meaning, achieves only the Remembering level, the lowest of Bloom's cognitive taxonomy.
Applying uses knowledge in new situations, which rote memorization does not support.
Analysing breaks material into parts and examines relationships, beyond mere recall.
Understanding requires grasping meaning, whereas rote learning reproduces without comprehension.
Remembering involves recognizing and recalling information from memory.
Bloom's 1956 cognitive taxonomy rises from knowledge to evaluation; the 2001 revision renamed the base level Remembering.
