Editing Bloom's taxonomy (section)

=== Implications ===
Bloom's taxonomy serves as the backbone of many teaching philosophies, in particular, those that lean more towards skills rather than content.<ref name="krathwohl2002" /><ref name="anderaetal2001" /> These educators view content as a vessel for teaching skills. The emphasis on higher-order thinking inherent in such philosophies is based on the top levels of the taxonomy including application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}} Bloom's taxonomy can be used as a teaching tool to help balance evaluative and assessment-based questions in assignments, texts, and class engagements to ensure that all orders of thinking are exercised in students' learning, including aspects of information searching.<ref>{{cite journal |first1=B.
