Bloom’s Taxonomy

Attached is a paper that describes blooms taxonomy. Although Blooms taxonomy is highly regarded as a way to break down levels of learning, I feel that its not a very practical guide to develop training. I personally like the levels: fact, concepts, rules/procedures, and problem solving knowledge objectives. However, in research I like to specifically see factual/recall and problem solving/transfer knowledge measured. Additionally, I question studies that use these measures but have not taken the appropriate steps to establish the tests validity and reliability. Thus I feel there is a need in education research to put together a book that has instruction and tests that have been validated so that researchers can use appropriate materials in their studies.
