ABCTE Professional Teaching Knowledge Practice Exam

In Bloom’s taxonomy, which level is emphasized by the verbs “list, label, match”?

1. Application

2. Analysis

3. Understanding

4. Remembering

The correct answer is: Remembering

In Bloom’s taxonomy, the level reflected by the verbs “list, label, match” is categorized as Remembering. This level focuses on the ability to recall or recognize facts and basic concepts. When a learner is asked to list something, label items, or match terms with their definitions, they are engaging in the retrieval of previously learned information, which is fundamental to the learning process. At the Remembering level, students are expected to demonstrate memory of facts without necessarily understanding them in depth or being able to apply them in varied contexts. Therefore, these verbs are indicative of a foundational skill where the learner is expected to draw on their memory rather than analyze or apply complex concepts.
