PISA using Bloom to Measure?

For another class, I'm working on comparing the new common core curriculum with the framework used to get PISA rankings (don't know what PISA is? Don't worry, I didn't either! Here's a video overview). The PISA exam, particularly the reading section, seems like it fits into Bloom's taxonomy perfectly! The first level tasks are access and retrieve, followed by integrate and interpret at the second level, and reflect and evaluate at the highest level. They do not mention Bloom in their explanation of their framework, but I wonder if this was intentional? What do you think?

    It "could" be intentional.....but then again, perhaps not. I tend to think that some educators are more intuitive than others and recognize good teaching more easily...without necessarily recognizing that a theory or model is behind the design of the instruction. Good post!
