Blooms’s Taxonomy – Question Standard Level (Academic Year – 2017-18 Onwards)
Outcome Based Education (OBE) has been implemented from the academic year 2017-2018. In this regard, Bloom’s Taxonomy is adopted in the teaching, learning, and evaluation processes to enhance students’ knowledge, skills, and overall learning outcomes.
Bloom’s Taxonomy provides a structured framework for developing course learning objectives and enhancing students’ understanding of the learning process. It enables teachers to understand the progressive development of cognitive skills, demonstrating how lower-level cognitive abilities contribute to the development of higher-order thinking skills. For example, recalling facts and understanding previously studied problems enable students to apply their knowledge and experience to similar or new situations.
All Question Paper follows the given levels:
- Base level (Remembering and Understanding)
- Application level (Applying)
- Advance Thinking level (Analyzing, Evaluating and Creating)
