Bloom's Taxonomy categorizes learning into how many levels?

Bloom's Taxonomy categorizes learning into six levels, each representing a different complexity of cognitive processes involved in learning. The original taxonomy, developed by Benjamin Bloom and his colleagues in 1956, outlined these levels as Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. Later revisions, particularly the one conducted in the early 2000s, adjusted the terminology and framework but maintained the hierarchy and the essence of the six levels. This classification provides a useful framework for educators to design learning objectives and assessments, targeting progressively higher-order thinking skills as students advance in their understanding and application of knowledge.
