Bloom's Taxonomy isn't only for grammar school teachers. The three domains of the taxonomy apply to the course also. During this manual, we are going to listen to the cognitive domain. This Cognitive can be the domain of information and intellect, and it's the most focus of most educators.

Bloom's Taxonomy has been a guiding model for educators and teachers for a long time.  Created by Benjamin Bloom in 1956, his taxonomy is still a guiding force for educators in developing educational materials and studies. It has become an authority, particularly in the cognitive domain. Professors, Universities, and school boards have embraced this theory to shape up the education for both children and adults. Hence you learn and be aware of Bloom's theory's history and how it has shaped and morphed over the years. Understanding the fundamentals of Bloom's Taxonomy is important and essential, particularly when implementing it in the classroom.

The learning hierarchy is a typical model described in Bloom's theory. It focuses on the levels that go up in the hierarchy as maturity and achievement increase. The students' masters the bottom-most step in the hierarchy, which is a basic stage of the learning domain. On mastering the first step, then students move on to the next level. It is similar to taking steps upward, and ultimately students can reach the top. Mastering each level is an activity that cannot be taken lightly. As Students master each level, they will discover their abilities have improved. Implementing activities provided by the taxonomy and these learning strategies makes a remarkable impact on improving students' skills. Teachers use these theories in the taxonomy to guide the students and provide them tools to achieve higher levels of understanding and thinking. Domains work together to build learning objectives, create guided activities lists and develop effective assessments and accountability plans for students to achieve.

Each domain is further identified and then broken down into many smaller levels or categories with specific behaviors, activities, and example words that identify when students have mastered skills from each domain level. 

With our Skills to reinforce Learning (Mental) - Part - 1 course, students will discover the specifics of how the cognitive domain increases intellectual capability.
