UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A and B correctly state that Bloom’s taxonomy organises cognitive objectives and that higher levels involve analysis, evaluation and creation. Statement D is also true because the taxonomy guides teachers in crafting questions and activities at different cognitive levels. Statement E is correct as aligning assessment tasks with targeted levels of objectives is a practical use of the taxonomy. Statement C is false because limiting teaching to lower levels like remembering and understanding does not adequately develop critical thinking, and F is false since Bloom’s taxonomy primarily concerns the cognitive domain. Therefore, the correct set of statements is A, B, D and E only, making option A the right answer.

Option A:
Option A includes A, B, D and E, which together describe the structure, purpose and classroom use of Bloom’s taxonomy. Excluding the false claims in C and F makes this set accurate. Hence A, B, D and E only is the correct combination.

Option B:
Option B adds C to A, B and D, but C incorrectly suggests that focusing only on lower levels is sufficient for critical thinking. Because critical thinking belongs mainly to higher levels, including C makes this option inaccurate. Hence A, B, C and D only is not acceptable.

Option C:
Option C includes A, C, D and F and contains both C and F, which misrepresent the scope of Bloom’s taxonomy. While A and D are correct, the falsehood of C and F destroys the logical validity of the set. Thus A, C, D and F only cannot be chosen.

Option D:
Option D lists B, D, E and F, but F denies the centrality of the cognitive domain in Bloom’s taxonomy. The presence of F makes this option incorrect. Therefore B, D, E and F only is not the right answer.

Option E combines A, B, D, E and F, but including F endorses an incorrect statement about the domain to which Bloom’s taxonomy applies. Hence A, B, D, E and F only is not valid.

Option F groups C, D, E and F and retains both C and F, which diminish higher-order thinking and misplace the taxonomy’s focus. Hence C, D, E and F only cannot be considered correct.
