In 1956, Benjamin Bloom, a professor at the University of Chicago, shared his famous "Taxonomy of Educational Objectives". Bloom identified six levels of cognitive complexity that have been used over the past four decades to make sure that instruction stimulates and develops students' higher-order thinking skills.

The Levels are:

Knowledge : Rote memory skills (facts, terms, procedures, classification systems)

Comprehension : The ability to translate, paraphase, interpret or axtrapolate material.

Application : The capacity to transfer knowledge from one setting to another.

Analysis : The ability to discover and differentiate the component parts of a larger whole.

Synthesis : The ability to weave component parts into a coherent whole.

Evaluation : The ability to judge the value or use of information using a set of standards.
