As part of its Continuous Improvement Programme, the Department of Clinical Psychology at Koya University held a training course entitled “Bloom Taxonomy, Types of Questions and Tests” from 29^th of March to 5^th of April, 2022, which targeted the academic staff of Faculty of Science and Health.

Bloom’s Taxonomy is a hierarchical ordering of cognitive skills that can, among countless other uses, help teachers teach and students learn. This framework, which was published by Benjamin Bloom with collaborators Max Englehart, Edward Furst, Walter Hill, and David Krathwohl in 1956, can be used to: create assessments, frame discussions, plan lessons, evaluate the complexity of assignments, design curriculum maps, develop online courses, increase the rigor of a lesson, simplify an activity to help personalize learning, design a summative assessment, plan project-based learning, frame a group discussion, and more. Besides, it can be applied to almost anything, as it simply provides an order for cognitive behaviors. In this training course, the six major categories of this framework, which are Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation, with the sub categories from simple to complex were explained and elucidate practically.
