A Critical Appraisal of Bloom’s Taxonomy With Special to Original and Revised Taxonomies

Abstract

The objective of this study is to compare Bloom's original and revised taxonomies, which have been in use since 1956 and 2001, respectively. Initially, this research describes both the original and updated taxonomies. Second, it begins by outlining the main objections to Bloom's first taxonomy. Thirdly, it explains some objections to the updated taxonomy. Additionally, the article concludes the criticisms with a number of broad supplementary criticisms. In addition, the study provides a chart that outlines all of the main criticisms. Lastly, some recommendations are made for people who frequently utilize Bloom's taxonomy in their research.
