BloomTutor: Retrieval Augmentation for Bloom's Taxonomy Question Generation

2025

Abstract

We present BloomTutor, an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) that integrates Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with Bloom's Taxonomy to support learners in exploring, revising, or querying specific topics within a predefined subject or course. Our system retrieves relevant course materials based on user queries, segments them into concise chunks, and generates questions aligned with cognitive levels. Learner responses guide real-time adjustments in question difficulty, enabling progression toward higher-order thinking or reinforcement of foundational concepts. Unlike most ITS that rely on fixed question banks, Bloom-Tutor generates context-specific questions in real time, allowing greater coverage and responsiveness to diverse learner queries and progress.

Cognitive science

Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary, scientific study of the mind and its processes with input from linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, computer science/artificial intelligence, and anthropology. It examines the nature, the tasks, and the functions of cognition (in a broad sense). Cognitive scientists study intelligence and behavior, with a focus on how nervous systems represent, process, and transform information.

Cognitive psychology

Cognitive psychology is the scientific study of mental processes such as attention, language use, memory, perception, problem solving, creativity, and reasoning. Cognitive psychology originated in the 1960s in a break from behaviourism, which held from the 1920s to 1950s that unobservable mental processes were outside the realm of empirical science. This break came as researchers in linguistics and cybernetics, as well as applied psychology, used models of mental processing to explain human behavior.

Cognitive neuroscience

Cognitive neuroscience is the scientific field that is concerned with the study of the biological processes and aspects that underlie cognition, with a specific focus on the neural connections in the brain which are involved in mental processes. It addresses the questions of how cognitive activities are affected or controlled by neural circuits in the brain. Cognitive neuroscience is a branch of both neuroscience and psychology, overlapping with disciplines such as behavioral neuroscience, cognitive psychology, physiological psychology and affective neuroscience.
