Knowledge forms the basis for all other objectives are not possible
without knowledge. Simplify if one is able to apply to knowledge in a new
situation, if can be inferred that he has to achieve lower levels of objectives
namely knowledge and comprehension clearly. Thus a higher level objectives
subsumes to lower ones.
While teaching computer science for secondary and higher secondary students give priority to the first
three objectives of cognitive domain namely knowledge, comprehension and
application. The remaining three objectives analysis, synthesis and evaluation
may be trained to them according to their maturity of mind.
Knowledge
This objective is to remember and recall or recognize the already
learnt information and acquire more and more knowledge.
Comprehension
Objective at this level requires learners to understand the knowledge
without any doubt. He should have ability to arrange data in order.
Application
This
objective requires students to apply already learnt knowledge to a new and
unfamiliar situations. Think critically in depth.
Analysis
Objective at this level requires the learners, to attain the ability to
break up a given communication into parts to understand it better.
Synthesis
Synthesis is just opposite to analysis. The ability to draw upon
elements from various sources and put them together to produce a new structure.
This objective gives divergent.
Evaluation
This is a highest objective of cognitive domain. The ability to make
judgements about something for given purpose. Judgement can be both
quantitative or qualitative.
