Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning
Panbai International School seamlessly blends Bloom’s Taxonomy into its education, fostering student development. We start with foundational knowledge, emphasizing Remembering, where students acquire facts as a base for higher-order thinking.
Bloom’s Taxonomy includes six levels, representing various cognitive skills:
- Remembering: Recalling facts, listing, defining, describing.
- Understanding: Explaining, interpreting, summarizing.
- Applying: Using knowledge in solving problems.
- Analyzing: Breaking down information, identifying patterns.
- Evaluating: Assessing information, making judgments.
- Creating: Generating new ideas, original work.

media and text with enjoyment and understanding. - The Scientific enquiry objectives underpin Biology, Chemistry and Physics, which
are focused on developing confidence and interest in scientific knowledge.
Environmental awareness and some history of science are also incorporated. - This curriculum focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions and
relationships so that learners can apply their mathematical knowledge and
develop a holistic understanding of the subject.
