to situations where learned material is used through products
like:
- models
- presentations
- interviews

- Analysis |
Analyzing |
| The
ability to break down or distinguish the parts of material into
its components so that its organizational structure may be better
understood. Examples of verbs that relate to this function are: |
Breaking
material or concepts into parts, determining how the parts
relate or interrelate to one another or to an overall structure
or purpose. Mental actions included in this function are:
- differentiating
- organizing
- attributing
as
well as being able to distinguish between
the components or parts. When one is analyzing he/she can
illustrate this mental function by creating spreadsheets,
surveys, charts, or diagrams, or graphic representations. |

- Synthesis |
Evaluating |
| The
ability to put parts together to form a coherent or unique new
whole. Examples of verbs that relate to this function are: |
Making
judgments based on criteria and standards through checking
and critiquing. Critiques, recommendations, and reports
are some of the products that can be created to demonstrate
the processes of evaluation. In the newer taxonomy evaluation
comes before creating as it is often a necessary part of the
precursory behavior before creating something.
This category has now changed places with the
last one on Bloom's original list. |

| Competence
- Evaluation |
Creating |
| The
ability to judge, check, and even critique the value of material
for a given purpose. Examples of verbs that relate to this function
are: |
Putting
elements together to form a coherent or functional whole;
reorganizing elements into a new pattern
or structure through generating, planning,
or producing. Creating requires users to
put parts together in a new way or synthesize parts into something
new and different a new form or product. This process is the
most difficult mental function in the new taxonomy.
This category is what Bloom referred to as Synthesis |
