During the 1990's, Lorin Anderson worked with David Krathwohl to reconsider Bloom's Taxonomy. They published the Revised Taxonomy (pictured above) in 2001.
As is easy to notice, the major revision, as simple as it may seem, is the use of verbs rather than nouns for each of the levels. The other huge difference is a new understanding of the sequence and work accomplished in the levels. Here is a comparison:
Original Bloom's Revised Bloom's (from lowest order to highest)
Knowledge Remembering
Comprehension Understanding
Application Applying
Analysis Analyzing
Synthesis Evaluating
Evaluation Creating
It is interesting to note that Creating became the highest order thinking domain in the revised Bloom's.
