Application of Blooms Taxonomy in Day-to-Day Examinations

Bloom's Taxonomy describes the classification of learning into various domains. The "Cognitive domain" tries to separate learning process into different levels based on the ability of a person to think. This is very helpful to detect whether a given question is memory based or application based. The primary aim of this paper is to demonstrate the utilization of Bloom's Taxonomy to grade a given paragraph and the utilization of prediction models over that grading. This paper describes the technique to utilize the past marks of a student and the question paper contents to classify the question paper to a particular level using the taxonomic principles of the Cognitive domain and the application of linear regression to foretell the total marks that the student may score. This paper also describes various techniques in which Bloom's Taxonomy can be applied and analyses the accuracy of each of those techniques.
