Education plays a vital role in development of any country. In this context, Bloom’s taxonomy play a key role in defining learning objectives and assessment of the courses. The purpose of the study is to identify the teacher educators’ and teacher trainees’ awareness and application towards the Bloom’s taxonomy in Thiruvannamalai District, Tamil Nadu. The factors taken for the study are perceived easy of use, perceived usefulness, perceived barriers, adoption of bloom’s taxonomy and its effectiveness. The main study of this research was conducted among 150 samples, in which 50 samples includes teacher educators and another 100 samples includes teacher trainees from five different teacher training institutes located at Tiruvannamalai District. The samples were chosen based on Non-Probability sampling (i.e. Quota sampling technique), since few teacher educators and trainees were not shown their interest to respond to the research. The data collected were analyzed through IBM SPSS 24.0 and IBM AMOS 24.0 software package and descriptive statistical analysis and Structural Equation Modeling analysis were performed. The results of study evident that perceived easy of use, perceived usefulness, perceived barriers, adoption of bloom’s taxonomy is having impact on perceived effectiveness of Bloom’s taxonomy, however teacher educators and Teacher trainees still need more training programmes to be well-versed in this concept in order to minimize the perceived barriers effect on implementation of Bloom’s taxonomy, which will improve perceived easy of use, perceived usefulness and its adoption in their teaching learning process effectively.
