Level of question
Sanders
(1966) stated that good questions recognize the wide possibilities of thought
and are built around varying forms of thinking. Good questions are directed
towards learning and evaluative thinking, rather than what has been learned in
a narrow sense.
Questions
can be classified in several ways. A universally accepted classification of
questioning in the cognitive domain was developed by Bloom et al. (1956) : They are
Knowledge: Knowledge
involves the recall of specifics and universals, the recall of methods and
processes or the recall of the pattern. It’s the lowest level of hierarchy.
Comprehension: This level refers a type of
understanding or apprehension such that the individual knows what is being
communicated and can make use of the material or idea being communicated
without necessarily relating it to other material or seeing its fullest
implication.
Application: This level involves the use of
abstractions in particular and concrete situations. The abstractions may be in
the form of general ideas, rules of procedures, or generalized methods.
Synthesis: This level includes questions which focus on
putting together of part to form a whole.
Evaluation: Question at this level are used to develop
judgments about the value of material and methods for given purposes.
