Bloom’s taxonomy, examination, achievement tests, lowers-order thinking skills, higher-order thinking skillsAbstract
This study mainly throws light on the quality of examinations undertaken by English students in the English Department، Faculty of Education at Hodeidah University. It aims at evaluating the types of the questions included in the examination papers in order to find out whether the examiners put into account the different stages of complexity proposed by Bloom (1956). Eighty examination papers have been collected randomly and examined with respect to Bloom’s taxonomy. It is found that most questions in the examination-papers focus on assessing lower thinking skills such as knowledge، and comprehension category. Questions which involve application of knowledge are، also، significantly، high. However، questions assessing higher abilities، i. e. synthesis and evaluation are not assessed at all.
