There are two types of taxonomies: Bloom's and Fink's. Both are beneficial when organizing activities and assessments. The Bloom's taxonomy is divided into three categories: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. The cognitive verbs might include knowledge-based verbs. Affective and psychomotor verbs include application and problem-solving demonstrations.
Fink's taxonomy includes six parts: the foundational knowledge will help the students to remember the essential elements. This is low level learning. Application includes the demonstration of skills, such as managing projects and developing creative methods of remembering how to apply the concepts. Learning to learn is self-directed learning to learn more about a particular concept. The caring part of learning includes a self-reflection to discover feelings and values. Human Dimension section will consist of learning about the interaction between self and others. The final section of Fink's taxonomy is integration. This is where the student can demonstrate the connection of their ideas with people.
