Editing Bloom Taxonomy (section)

== Analyzing (Break Down / Analysis) ==
🔬 At this level, an expert can **examine structure**, **identify patterns**, and **compare** Bloom’s taxonomy with alternatives.

* '''Comparative analysis'''
** Bloom’s taxonomy vs. '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOLO_taxonomy SOLO taxonomy]''' — cognitive processes vs. structural complexity.
** Bloom’s taxonomy vs. '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andragogy andragogy]''' — task complexity vs. adult-learning orientation.

* '''Failure modes & root causes'''
** Treating Bloom levels as a ranking of **worthiness**, not cognitive demand.
** Over-reliance on verb lists without examining assignment context.
** Assuming every lesson must target the highest level.

* '''Troubleshooting & observability techniques'''
** Conducting a '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curriculum_mapping curriculum map]''' to detect level imbalance (too much recall, not enough analysis).
** Reviewing assessment validity through '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_analytics learning analytics]''' and performance patterns.
** Spot-checking rubrics for alignment drift.

* '''Structural insights'''
** Bloom’s taxonomy organizes cognitive skills **hierarchically**, not categorically.
** Levels support **progression**, not segmentation — learners move fluidly.

* '''Typical analysis-level abilities'''
** Can critique a lesson plan using Bloom’s taxonomy.
** Can identify mismatched objectives, activities, and assessments.
** Can explain why a task belongs to a specific level.
