Higher Order Thinking What is Blooms Taxonomy? Old vs. New Who uses Blooms? Remembering Understanding Applying Analyzing Evaluating Creating Other Visualizations of Blooms Digital Revised Blooms Taxonomy
No one thinks perfectly or poorly all the time. Memorizing something is not the same as thinking about it. You can memorize something without understanding it. Thinking is done in both words and pictures. There are three main types of intelligence and thinking: analytical, creative and practical. All three intelligences and ways of thinking are useful in our everyday lives. You can improve your thinking skills by understanding the processes involved in thinking. Metacognition-thinking about thinking-is part of higher order thinking.

HOT does not include memorization. HOT requires that we do something with the facts. We must understand them, connect them to each other, categorize them, manipulate them, put them together in new or novel ways, and apply them as we seek new solutions to new problems. Higher Order Thinking involves metacognition. Metacognition is thinking about your thinking. When a learner uses metacognition they are contemplating and revising their thoughts continuously to make sure they truly understand the information.
Blooms Taxonomy
What is it and where did it come from?
Blooms Timeline
1948: Benjamin Bloom and a group of psychologists studied classroom activities and goals teachers has while planning these activities. Through this study three domains were concluded:
Cognitive
Domain was split into a hierarchy of 6 thinking skills: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. 1956: Original Blooms Taxonomy is published
http://learngen.org/Resources/lgend101_norm1/3000/3100_4/3130/3131alias2.html
According to the original Blooms Taxonomy, the lowest order of thinking is knowledge (remembering something) and comprehension (knowing what something use). These tiers were used as building blocks to help teachers scaffold their lessons and build students up to the top tier of thinking.

1995: Lorin Anderson, a former student of Benjamin Bloom, led another team of psychologists in revising the original Blooms Taxonomy to represent the 21st century. Changes occurred in terminology, structure, and emphasis. See the next slide for more information on the changes. 2001: The final revision of Blooms Taxonomy was published.
Notice the terminology changes in the comparison above.
Factual Knowledge: The basic elements that must be known within a discipline. Conceptual Knowledge: The interrelationshi ps among the factual knowledge.

Terminology: Used nouns to describe the levels of thinking. Structure: One dimensional using the Cognitive Process. Emphasis was originally for educators and psychologists. Blooms taxonomy was used by many other audiences.
Terminology: Uses verbs to describe the levels of thinking. Structure: Two dimensional using the Knowledge Dimension and how it interacts with the Cognitive Process. See next slide for an interactive grid. Emphasis is placed upon its use as a more authentic tool for curriculum planning, instructional delivery and assessment.

This is based on the original Blooms but I thought it was a great illustration.
