  • 2. 

    Which of these tasks demonstrates the Analysis level in Bloom's Taxonomy?

    • Comparing themes of two stories

    • Listing the main events of a story

    • Memorizing key vocabulary

    • Defending a character's decision

    Correct Answer
    A. Comparing themes of two stories
    Explanation
    Comparing themes of two stories requires analysis because it involves breaking down complex content to identify similarities, differences, and underlying ideas. The analysis level in Bloom's Taxonomy requires students to examine parts of a whole, detect relationships, and evaluate structures, all of which are present when comparing themes. This task involves more than simply understanding the stories; it requires an analytical approach to see patterns and contrasts. By evaluating how themes develop and intersect, students actively engage in dissecting narrative elements, which helps them develop critical thinking skills essential for interpreting complex material.

  • 3. 

    Which activity requires the Application level of Bloom's Taxonomy?

    • Recalling details from a chapter

    • Writing a summary of the story

    • Designing a model based on a concept

    • Analyzing themes in two texts

    Correct Answer
    A. Designing a model based on a concept
    Explanation
    Designing a model based on a concept represents the application level of Bloom's Taxonomy. This level requires students to use information practically, applying theoretical knowledge to create a tangible representation. Designing a model involves understanding the core concept and transferring it into a functional or visual format, demonstrating how theoretical knowledge operates in a real-world scenario. By constructing a model, students use skills beyond memorization or interpretation—they apply their knowledge in a hands-on way, translating concepts into physical forms. This ability to apply learned knowledge in practical situations is critical in building skills for problem-solving and innovation.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which type of question is a sample of Evaluation?

    • Do you agree with the actions Sam?

    • Why was it better than?

    • What sources can you use to support your opinion?

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Each option prompts the respondent to assess or judge, which is the core of evaluation. “Do you agree with Sam's actions?” asks for an opinion, “Why was it better than the other option?” calls for a comparison, and “What sources can you use to support your opinion?” requires evaluating sources. Together, they exemplify Evaluation.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    When a student is asked to explain the meaning of a poem in their own words, which level is it?

    • Evaluation

    • Application

    • Comprehension

    • Synthesis

    Correct Answer
    A. Comprehension
    Explanation
    When students explain a poem in their own words, they engage in comprehension. Comprehension involves understanding and interpreting content accurately, which requires students to process, summarize, and convey ideas meaningfully. By restating the poem, students move beyond memorization and demonstrate an understanding of its meaning and themes. This level of Bloom’s Taxonomy requires students to interpret metaphors, identify themes, and capture the poet’s message. The process of rephrasing the text helps solidify their understanding, making comprehension a crucial foundational skill that supports deeper, more critical engagement with the content.

    Correct Answer
    A. Creating 
    Explanation
    Bloom's Taxonomy is a hierarchical classification of cognitive skills, ranging from lower-order thinking skills to higher-order thinking skills. Creating is at the top of the revised Bloom's Taxonomy, representing the ability to generate new ideas, products, or solutions. It involves originality, imagination, and the ability to synthesize knowledge and skills to produce something novel.

    • Synthesizing

    • Don't Know

    Correct Answer
    A. Applying
    Explanation
    Constructing a model demonstrates the Application level, as students use knowledge to build something that represents a concept. Application involves using learned information in real-world or practical ways, demonstrating understanding through creation.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Infer, follow, interpret, summarize, demonstrate, cite and interpolate are all verbs representing what level of Bloom's taxonomy.

    • Application

    • Knowledge

    • Synthesis

    • Comprehension

    Correct Answer
    A. Comprehension
    Explanation
    The verbs "infer, follow, interpret, summarize, demonstrate, cite and interpolate" all require the understanding and interpretation of information. These actions involve comprehending and grasping the meaning of the given content. Therefore, these verbs represent the level of comprehension in Bloom's taxonomy, which focuses on understanding and explaining concepts rather than just recalling or memorizing information.

    Correct Answer
    A. Synthesis
    Explanation
    Predicting future events in a story represents the synthesis level of Bloom's Taxonomy. Synthesis requires students to use known information to create new ideas, projections, or interpretations, as when making predictions. This level requires more than recalling or understanding; it combines various learned concepts and integrates them into a plausible forecast. Predicting allows students to synthesize characters' actions, story developments, and plot elements to hypothesize outcomes. Through this, students actively engage in creative thinking and inferential reasoning, constructing an idea that is uniquely generated rather than explicitly provided in the content.
