Bloom's Taxonomy

Analysis and Evaluation are necessary for comprehension, which is in turn necessary for knowledge. Bloom's Taxonomy is backwards. The order needs to be reversed for it to work as intended in the classroom and in curriculums.

You can't claim to comprehend anything without first analyzing and evaluating it. And you can't claim to have knowledge of anything without first comprehending it. The order of Bloom's Taxonomy is backwards. It needs to be reversed in terms of learning. The Taxonomy orders thinking skills -- anaysis and evaluation are higher order thinking skills. But the order of higher thinking tiers is not the best order of learning (or teaching). In fact, it's the opposite. The whole point of higher order thinking is that higher thinking skills are necessary for lower order thinking outcomes -- which is exactly why anyone should bother teaching them in the first place. Therefore critical thinking is necessary for all but a very superficial and shallow comprehension of anything and analysis and evaluation of new topics needs to happen before comprehension. In fact, that's the process of comprehending -- analysis and evaluation. And comprehension needs to happen before knowledge. In fact, comprehension is knowledge. Anything less is just a superficial "fake-knowledge."
