Discussion Groups
Benjamin Bloom (1956) created this taxonomy for categorizing levels of abstraction of questions that commonly occur in educational settings. The taxonomy provides a useful structure in which to categorize test questions. Since professors will characteristically ask questions within particular levels, and if you can determine the levels of questions that will appear on your exams, you will be able to study using appropriate strategies. Many teachers apply Bloom’s taxonomy to discussion groups in distance education and Bloom’s taxonomy has proved effective in facilitating discussions in distance discussion.
