    Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework for categorizing levels of thinking skills created by Benjamin Bloom. It includes six main levels: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. The levels build on each other and involve recalling information, understanding concepts, applying knowledge, analyzing ideas, creating new ideas by combining existing ones, and making judgments. It is used to help educators promote higher-order thinking in their classrooms and assess student learning.
