Krathwohl independently developed the affective domain taxonomy, which was ordered according to the principle of internalization.
Internalization is the “process whereby a person’s affect toward an object passes from a general awareness level to a point where the affect is internalized and consistently guides or controls the person’s behavior.” [3] This taxonomy is presented in five different stages.
[4] Krathwohl was also the Hannah Hammond Professor of Education Emeritus at Syracuse University.
Then, he broke the cognitive processes part into six different categories: remember, understand, analyze, apply, evaluate, and create.
While revising the taxonomy in 2001, Krathwohl helped to reorganize and highlight the interactions between two dimensions: cognitive processes and knowledge content.
The other ideal thing that they focus on is that the cognitive processes are represented as verbs, while the knowledge content is presented as nouns.
