The Steps of Learning – Bloom’s Taxonomy



            Bloom’s  Taxonomy is a framework developed to organise learning into levels of
            complexity and shows how students move from basic understanding to higher-order
            thinking.

            The six levels of Bloom’s taxonomy are as mentioned below.
