Bloom’s Taxonomy Revisited
Use this table as a reference for evaluating and making changes to aligned course activities and assessments (or, where possible, learning outcomes) that account for generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool capabilities and distinctive human skills.
All course activities and assessments will benefit from review given the capabilities of AI tools; those at the Remember and Analyze levels may be more likely to need amendment.
Table
Row 1: Create
Recommendation: Review
AI Capabilities: Suggest a range of alternatives, enumerate potential drawbacks and advantages, describe successful real-world cases
Distinctive Human Skill: Formulate original solutions incorporating human judgment, collaborate spontaneously
Row 2: Evaluate
Recommendation: Review
AI Capabilities: Identify pros and cons of various courses of action, develop rubrics
Distinctive Human Skill: Engage in metacognitive reflection, holistically appraise ethical consequences of alternative courses of action
Row 3: Analyze
Recommendation: Amend
AI Capabilities: Compare and contrast data, infer trends and themes, compute, predict
Distinctive Human Skill: Critically think and reason with the cognitive and affective domains, interpret and related to authentic problems, decisions, and choices
Row 4: Apply
Recommendation: Review
AI Capabilities: Make use of a process, model, or method to illustrate how to solve quantitative inquiry
Distinctive Human Skill: Operate, implement, conduct, execute, experiment, and test in the real world; apply creativity and imagination to idea and solution development
Row 5: Understand
Recommendation: Review
AI Capabilities: Describe a concept in different words, recognize a related example, translate
Distinctive Human Skill: Contextualize answers within emotional, moral, or ethical considerations
Row 6: Remember
Recommendation: Amend
AI Capabilities: Recall factual information, list possible answers, define a term, construct a basic chronology
Distinctive Human Skill: Recall information in situations where technology is not readily accessible
