Came across this citation on Bloom's Taxonomy. What caught me is the way the terms are explaned; so simple but to the point. Original
Knowledge is accepting and believing a fact. Knowing 2 + 2 = 4, doesn't mean you know what 2 + 2 = 4 means.
Application is knowing how to use the fact. You can determine that 2 cats plus 2 cats equals 4 cats. You don't know what 2 + 2 = 4 means, but you can apply it.
Comprehension is understanding a fact: You understand the concept of addition and how 2 + 2 = 4.
Analysis is breaking down information into its parts. 4 - 2 =2 ; (1 + 1) + (1 + 1) = 2 + 2 = 4
Synthesis is Creating something new. (2 + 2) + (2 + 2) = 4 + 4
Evaluation: Discussion of the merits of 2 + 2 = 4.
