BLOOM’S TAXONOMY DOMAIN

• Bloom’s taxonomy is set of three hierarchical models.
• Models used to classify educational learning

objectives into levels of complexity and

specificity.

• The three types learning objectives.
• Cognitive
• Affective
• psychomotor

COGNITIVE DOMAIN

• Most people think “learning” as a cognitive process.
• This is the people link most to “learning” is the cognitive domain.
• This is the mental skills domain.
• It is the domain where you process information, create knowledge and think.

COGNITIVE DOMAIN OF �BLOOM’S TAXONOMY

• Bloom and his colleagues developed a classification system for the levels of cognitive skills.
• Bloom’s Taxonomy classifies thinking according to six cognitive levels of complerxity.

SIX COGNITIVE LEVELS OF COMPLERITY

• KNOWLEDGE
• COMPREHENSION
• Application
• Analysis
• Synthesis
• Evaluation

• KNOWLEDGE : The ability to recall or information.
• COMPREHENSION : The ability to understand and to grasp the meaning of information.
• APPLICATION : The ability to use learned information in a new situation.
• ANALYSIS : The ability to break down material into its parts so that its organizational structure may be understood.
• SYNTHESIS : The ability to put parts together to form a new whole.
• EVALUATION : The ability to judge the value or importance of material.

​

AFFECTIVE DOMAIN

• The affection domain involves our feelings emotion and attitudes .This domain includes the manner in which we deal with things emotionally such as feelings value appreciation enthusiasms motivations and attitudes.

• RECEIVING: Involves passively paying attention and being aware of the existence of certain ideas, material or phenomena.
• RESPONDING: Actively participating in the learning process.
• VALUING: Ability to see the value or worth of something and express it.
• ORGANIZING: Putting together different values, information and ideas then relating them to already held beliefs to create your own unique value system.
• CHARACTERIZING: Acting consistently in accordance with the values you have internalized.

FIVE LEVELS IN THE AFFECTIVE DOMAIN

• RECEVIVING
• RESPONDING
• VALUING
• ORIGINAZATION
• CHARACTERIZATION

PHYCHOMOTOR

• Psychomotor ability refers to a wide range of action involving physical movement related to conscious cognitive processing.
• The Psychomotor domain includes physical

movement, coordination and use of the

motor –skill areas.

SIX LEVELS IN PHYCHOMOTOR DOMAIN

• REFLEX
• BASIC FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT
• PERCEPTUAL
• PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES
• SKILLED MOVEMENT
• NON-DISCURSIVE COMMUNICATION

​

​

• Reflex: Action elicited without learning in response.
• BASIC FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT: Inherent movement patterns which are formed by combining of reflex movement and the basic for complex skilled movements.
• PERCEPTUAL: Interpretation of various stimuli that enable one to make adjustment to the environment.

​

• PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES: Require endurance, strength,vigor and agility which produces a sound, efficiently functioning body.
• SKILLED MOVEMENT: The result of the acquisition of a degree of efficiency when performing a complex task.
• NON-DISCURSIVE COMMUNICATION:

Communication through bodily

movement facial expression.

​

BLOOM’S TAXONOMY REVISED

• During the 1990’s Lorin Anderson and a group of cognitive psychologists updates the taxonomy.
• The revision they made appear fairly minor, however they do have significant impact on how people use the taxonomy.
