What is Bloom’s Taxonomy and how is the revised version different?
Bloom’s Taxonomy is a hierarchy of cognitive processes, moving from simple to complex. The original version described the levels using nouns. The revised version (2001), by Anderson and Krathwohl, shifted the categories into verbs and changed the order of the top levels.
Today, six levels are used: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create. Creation is placed at the top. This means a learner first recalls facts, then understands their meaning, applies knowledge in new contexts, analyzes structures, makes judgments based on criteria, and finally creates a new product or solution.
In our generator, the primary axis is built around these six levels. Based on them, the tool restructures your worksheet and produces a clear set of tasks that progress step by step—from basic recall to creative thinking.
