Bloom's Taxonomy

A framework for learning created by Benjamin Bloom and his coauthors Max Englehart, Edward Furst, Walter Hill, and David Krathwohl published in Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: The Classification of Educational Goals, 1956. The framework was updated in 2001 (as seen in the image below).

This framework provides a consecutive workflow for leveraging new knowledge to generate original ideas.
