In the original taxonomy, Bloom developed six categories that included Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation and translated them into more than 22 languages (Krathwohl, p. 213, 2002) . Costa (1985) reduced the six categories to three levels: Level One: the basement or Introduction to knowledge; Level two, the ground floor, practices the knowledge learned; and level three, the attic, demonstrates mastery of the knowledge learned. Blooms taxonomy. In using Blooms taxonomy there are questions and keywords that can be used in developing categories for measurement. They did the revision (Anderson, Krathwohl, Airasian, Cruikshank, Mayer, Pintrich, Raths, Wittrock, 2000) and moved the Synthesis to the first step of Creation. The second step became Evaluation. The new terms are defined as: Remember (Describe…): Retrieve, recognize and recall relevant knowledge from long-term experiences.
