Rigor and RelevanceBlooms TaxonomyFirst, there is a continuum of knowledge that describes the increasingly complex ways in which we think. The Knowledge Taxonomy is based on the six levels of Blooms Taxonomy:

(1) awareness(2) comprehension(3) application(4) analysis(5) synthesis(6) evaluationApplication ModelThe second continuum, created by Dr. Willard R. Daggett, is known as the Application Model. The five levels of this action continuum are:

(1) knowledge in one discipline(2) apply in discipline(3) apply across disciplines(4) apply to real-world predictable situations(5) apply to real-world unpredictable situations
