Correct Answer - Option 2 : Knowledge
Benjamin Bloom's taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models that refers to the classification of educational learning objectives. In the taxonomy, Bloom identified three domains of learning which include cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.
These three domains have been divided in a way that proceeds from the simplest process to the complex.
-
Cognitive domains: In this domain, a child deals with knowledge and hence, learns to create, evaluate, analyze, etc.
-
Psychomotor domains: It is concerned with acquiring skills that require the integration of mental and physical movements.
-
Affective domains: It includes how we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation, etc.
'Cognitive domain' involves mental skills that are categorized into six sub-domains of learning that serve in the development of intellectual skills and acquisition power.
The cognitive domains as per Bloom's taxonomy:
- Knowledge: It helps in retrieving the relevant knowledge from long-term memory.
-
Understand: Construct meaning from instructional messages, including oral, written, and graphic communication.
-
Application: Carry out or use a procedure in a given situation.
-
Analysis: Break material into its constituent parts and determine how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure or purpose.
-
Evaluation: Make judgments based on criteria or standards.
-
Create: Put elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure.
Hence, it could be concluded that the knowledge sub-domain of learning helps in retrieving the relevant knowledge from long-term memory.
