Correct option is B
Introduction:
This question requires arranging the cognitive levels of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy in ascending order of complexity, from lower-order thinking skills to higher-order thinking skills.
Information Booster:
Bloom's Revised Taxonomy (developed by Anderson and Krathwohl) provides a hierarchical classification of cognitive learning objectives. The levels, from lower to higher order, are:
E. Remembering: Recalling or recognising information, facts, or basic concepts. (e.g., defining, listing, identifying).
B. Understanding: Explaining ideas or concepts, interpreting, summarising, or classifying. (e.g., describing, explaining, summarising).
C. Applying: Using information in new situations, solving problems, or demonstrating. (e.g., executing, implementing, solving).
A. Analyzing: Breaking down information into parts, identifying relationships, comparing, or differentiating. (e.g., differentiating, organizing, attributing).
D. Evaluating: Making judgments based on criteria and standards, critiquing, or appraising. (e.g., checking, critiquing, judging).
(Creating: Producing new or original work, designing, constructing, or inventing. This is the highest level, though not an option in the given list for arrangement).
Therefore, the correct sequence from lower to higher order is: E, B, C, A, D.
Additional Knowledge:
The taxonomy serves as a foundational tool for educators to design curricula, write learning objectives, and create assessments that target specific cognitive skills.
Each level builds upon the previous one, meaning a learner must master lower-level skills before effectively engaging in higher-level thinking.
