BLOOM’S TAXONOMY

OF OBJECTIVES

Behavioral Domains 





Cognitive Domain – (KNOWING); refers to knowledge, concept development, and intellectual skills from the simplest form (memorization) to the most complex (problem solving). - it measures knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation Affective Domain – (RELATED to FEELINGS); refers to interest, attitudes, values, feelings and emotions which influences whether a learning experience will be repeated and enjoyed. - this includes beliefs, attitudes, and values of the learner. This is more subjective and is difficult to measure. Psychomotor Domain – (SKILL); refers to movement and motor skills that are performed through conscious control of the individual. - we can easily observe what learners are actually doing when they perform a skill. We can rate and measure the students learning through their performances.
