Part FCL ANNEX I - Flight Crew Licencing

(c) The six sequential increasing levels of required cognitive learning are identified by
the LO verb. Hence the lowest level ‘remember’ is signified by verbs such as
‘state’, ‘list’, ‘define’ and ‘recall’ whilst the next higher level of ‘understand’ is
signified by verbs such as ‘describe’ and ‘explain’. The third level of ‘apply’ is
signified by the verbs ‘calculate’, ‘interpret’, ‘relate’ and ‘solve’. However, the
higher levels of ‘analyse’, which would be signified by the verbs ‘plan’ or ‘discuss’
and ‘evaluate’ and ‘create’ are less common due at least partially to questions
presently possible in the ECQB examination.
(d) The LOs used in Area 100 KSA differ in that they require a combination of
knowledge and skills. However, the ‘skill’ level does not relate to Bloom’s
psychomotor taxonomy but is more closely aligned to the higher taxonomy levels
required in medicine, because knowledge and skills must be combined by the
student pilot in a strategy.
(e) The verbs ‘demonstrate’ and ‘show’, with their meanings defined below, have
therefore been used to supplement the cognitive LO verbs for the Area 100 KSA
LOs.
(1) ‘Demonstrate’ means the selection and use of the appropriate knowledge,
skills and attitudes within a strategy to achieve an effective outcome. It
signifies a high taxonomy level and would normally be assessed using
multiple indicators from more than one core competency.
(2) ‘Show’ means the attainment of knowledge, skill or attitude. It signifies a
lower taxonomy level than ‘demonstrate’ and would normally be assessed
by a single indicator.’
