'''Joan Middendorf's revision of Bloom's Typology''' applies [[wikipedia:Bloom's_taxonomy|Bloom's Taxonomy]] to [[Decoding the Disciplines]] in order to classify different types of [[mental moves]].<ref>Middendorf, J., & Shopkow, L. (2017). ''[[Overcoming Student Learning Bottlenecks|Overcoming student learning bottlenecks: Decode the critical thinking of your discipline]]''. Stylus Publishing, LLC.</ref> “What kind of thinking is this? Where does it fit in Bloom’s typology? Is it remembering, paraphrasing, applying, analyzing, evaluating, or creating? Bloom’s typology differentiate the functions of various mental moves (MIddendorf & Mondelli, in press).

== Creating ==

==Evaluating==
Making judgments based on criteria or standards.

*'''Verbs to Use:''' judge, evaluate, conclude, contrast, develop criteria, appraise, criticize,  support, decide, compare

*'''Analogy:''' Taking apart a  computer and examining the insides down to the microchips.

==Applying==
Using procedures to perform tasks or solve problems in new, but similar situations. 

*'''Verbs to Use:''' demonstrate, apply, use, solve, choose appropriate procedures, modify, produce,  construct

==Understanding==
Integrating new materials into existing schema and explaining it in own words.
