Remembering involves recalling information that has already been taught and learned. This domain does not include interpretation; it only involves the memorizing and repeating of information. Examples include recalling classroom rules and procedures as well as reciting multiplication facts from memory.
Understanding encompasses the comprehension of the knowledge and instructions given to a student. Here, instead of reciting the information, the student puts it into her own words. Examples of understanding include learning the steps to create a document on a computer and then being able to repeat those instructions to someone else in her own words.
Applying is putting the concepts in new situations, such as at home or in a job situation. An example of applying is using the multiplication facts to figure out pay from hours worked, or role-playing a certain situation based on a concept learned in class.
Analyzing is for a student to be able to interpret different parts of a lesson or concept, allowing him to compare and contrast different sides of the information. This is also the domain in which students should be able to tell the difference between facts and opinions.
The Evaluation domain allows the student to make judgments about the value of the ideas or materials being presented in class. In other words, is he able to justify a position based on the information learned? Keywords used in the Evaluation domain include "defend," "argue" and "support," and activities can include holding a class debate in which students defend different sides.
Creating is what it sounds like -- whether a student can create something from the knowledge learned, as well as fashion a new point of view. This allows students to form a new meaning for concepts learned in the classroom. Examples of the Creating domain include inventing a product that solves or simplifies a task, as well as developing a software that completes a specific task that has not been done before.
