Bloom's Revised Taxonomy in the Classroom: Inspiration Book for the Teacher

In order to optimally coordinate communication between government, educational networks, teachers and students, the learning outcomes and curricula are drawn up on the basis of Bloom's revised taxonomy, by Krathwohl & Anderson.
