Cognitive skills are commonly considered to be one of the important skills in academic performance. The skills not only contribute toward understanding new knowledge, but also have an effect on internalizing and generating feedback to certain information. This research aims to investigate Thai university students’ cognitive levels by conducting peer evaluation activities, and the result of the experiment was analyzed based on the Revised Version of Bloom’s Taxonomy. The findings of this study showed that the students’ average cognitive levels are remembering and understanding levels, which are comparatively elemental levels. Since cognitive skills are deemed significant in academic performance, our research may foster teachers to improve the students’ cognitive skills.
