can anybody comment on the difference between "understanding" and "applying" in that taxonomy. The examples provided don't seem very good to me.
is it the difference between understanding a language and not speaking it, perhaps? following a conversation, but not being able to participate in it?
- abdullahkhalids 7y agoI have learned Bloom's taxonomy with comprehension instead of understanding. So if in an algorithm's class, you were taught that algorithm X was exponential time, then the exam question at the comprehension level can be, "describe why does it take exponential time to run algorithm X". An applying level question could be, "Find the running time of algorithm Y (which was never discussed in class)."
- namibj 7y agoUnderstanding is being able to read python code with no reference book/manual. Applying is writing python code with no reference book/manual. In both cases doing it properly means you are reasonably fast while being confident about the correctness (either that you correctly predicted the program's behavior or that you wrote bug-free software).
