Questions and Bloom’s First Three Levels

As teachers and instructors it is important for us to frame questions the right way, the objective being to test the depth of understanding of the learner.

Benjamin Bloom states that there are six levels of understanding. Let’s take a look at the first three of them.

Level 1 – Knowledge – Remembering, memorizing, recognizing, recalling identification, recalling information etc fall under knowledge. The questions asked under this level are simple questions asked to test the basics learnt by the learner.

Level 2 – Comprehension – Interpreting, translating from one medium to another, describing in one's own words, organization and selection of facts and ideas and so on are covered by the comprehension level. Questions asked here test if the learner has understood the concepts taught.

Level 3 – Application - Problem solving, applying information to produce some result, use of facts, rules and principles and so on. The questions asked here under test the understanding of the learner at an application level. It tests if the learner is able to practically apply what he/she has learnt.

The words used to ask a question must be carefully chosen. The following examples might help.

Level 1 – Knowledge – Relate, recognize, duplicate, arrange, label, define, list, state, repeat, order, memorize, name, reproduce, recall and so on.

Level 2 – Comprehension – Translate, classify, select, describe, identify, discuss, indicate, explain, express, locate, report, review, restate and so on.

Level 3 – Application - Apply, solve, write, practice, choose, interpret, demonstrate, employ, dramatize, illustrate, operate, schedule, use, sketch, and so on.

Everywhere Learning

Every organization needs to train its employees so that they contribute to the growth of the organization. For the employees to be able to contribute effectively towards the organization they must be able to grow and learn individually too. To achieve this, an organization must implement a learning solution that guarantees positive enhancement of learning and also focuses on the employees’ individual growth.

E-learning is a positive solution for this as it allows learning to take place at any time and at any place if a learner is available.

This blog is dedicated to E-Learning and the like. Looking forward to loads of visitors. :-)
