QUESTION #6785
Question 1
Bloom's original (1956) Taxonomy listed 'Synthesis' above 'Analysis' and 'Evaluation' as the highest level. Anderson and Krathwohl's revised taxonomy (2001) made two significant changes. Which accurately describes BOTH changes?
Correct Answer Explanation
In the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy by Anderson and Krathwohl: (1) All category names were changed from nouns to verbs (Knowledge → Remembering; Comprehension → Understanding; etc.). (2) The two highest levels were reversed — Creating (formerly Synthesis) became the highest level, above Evaluating. This reflects the view that generating new ideas is cognitively more demanding than judging existing ones.
