Learning taxonomies help bring order to the complexity of instructional goals. They offer structured ways to categorize what you’re asking learners to know or do—whether it’s recalling facts, solving problems, or demonstrating judgment. While not theories themselves, learning taxonomies are essential tools for planning, articulating, and assessing learning outcomes.
