This document discusses Bloom's Taxonomy and its applications in engineering education assessment. It explains that Bloom's Taxonomy categorizes learning into cognitive, affective, and behavioral domains and defines performance levels within each. The revised cognitive domain model includes thinking, knowledge application. Bloom's Taxonomy provides a framework for structuring assessment to characterize complexity and higher-order skills. It identifies six competency levels and recommends action verbs to assess each level appropriately. The document also discusses using different assessment methods matched to cognitive levels and ensuring alignment between assessment questions and course learning outcomes.

Blooms Taxonomy in Engineering Education

Electronics Engineering, P. V. P. Institute of Technology, Budhgaon, Sangli 2. 2. Bloom’s Taxonomy for Assessment Bloom’s Taxonomy helps us in not only designing curriculum and teaching but also to design appropriate examination questions belonging to various cognitive levels. Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives developed in 1956 by Benjamin Bloom was widely accepted by educators for curriculum design and assessment. In 2001, Anderson and Krathwohl modified Bloom’s Taxonomy to make it relevant to the present-day requirements. It attempts to divide learning into three types of domains (cognitive, affective, and behavioural) and then defines the level of performance for each domain. Prepared by: Prof. K. P. Paradeshi & Mr. A. B. Shinde 2 3. 3. Bloom’s Taxonomy for Assessment Revised Bloom’s taxonomy in the cognitive domain includes thinking, knowledge, and application of knowledge. It is a popular framework in engineering education to structure the assessment as it characterizes complexity and higher- order abilities. It identifies six levels of competencies within the cognitive domain which are appropriate for the purposes of engineering educators. Prepared by: Prof. K. P. Paradeshi & Mr. A. B. Shinde 3 4. 4. Bloom’s Taxonomy Revised Bloom’s taxonomy, the levels in cognitive domain Prepared by: Prof. K. P. Paradeshi & Mr. A. B. Shinde 4 5. 5. Bloom’s Taxonomy Action Verbs for Assessment: Action verbs in preparing assessment questions are most important. Action verbs are indicators of the complexity (level) of the question. Educators have come up with taxonomy of measurable verbs corresponding to each of the Bloom’s cognitive levels. These verbs help us not only to describe and classify observable knowledge, skills and abilities but also to frame the examination or assignment questions that are appropriate to the level.

Assessment Planning Normally the first three learning levels; remembering, understanding and applying and to some extent fourth level analysing are assessed in the Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) and Semester End Examinations (SEE) Abilities: analysis, evaluation and creation can be assessed in extended course works or in variety of student works like course projects, mini / minor projects, internship experience and final year projects. Prepared by: Prof. K. P. Paradeshi & Mr. A. B. Shinde 13 14. 14. Assessment Planning Pattern of assessment in each of the course in the program: a) Alignment of assessment questions with course learning outcomes b) Whether all the learning outcomes are tested; sometimes some learning outcomes are over tested at the expense of others which may be not tested at all. c) Overall weightage in the assessment, to
