What are the 3 domains of Bloom Taxonomy? ›

There are 4 predominant learning styles: Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, and Kinaesthetic. While most of us may have some general idea about how we learn best, often it comes as a surprise when we discover what our predominant learning style is.

Although there are many different approaches to learning, there are three basic types of learning theory: behaviorist, cognitive constructivist, and social constructivist. This section provides a brief introduction to each type of learning theory.

These domains of learning can be categorized as cognitive domain (knowledge), psychom*otor domain (skills) and affective domain (attitudes). This categorization is best explained by the Taxonomy of Learning Domains formulated by a group of researchers led by Benjamin Bloom in 1956.

The six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy include: creating, synthesizing, analyzing, applying, understanding, and remembering. An example of synthesis (creating) can be seen by a student who develops a website for his computer technology class.

Bloom's taxonomy (the cognitive domain) is a hierarchical arrangement of 6 processes where each level involves a deeper cognitive understanding. The levels go from simplest to complex: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create. They allow students to build on their prior understanding.

Bloom's cognitive domains. Bloom's cognitive taxonomy originally was represented by six different domain levels: (1) knowledge, (2) comprehension, (3) application, (4) analysis, (5) synthesis, and (6) evaluation.

There are three types of assessment: diagnostic, formative, and summative.

The domains of learning teach students to think critically by using methods that make the most sense to them. They benefit students by teaching them various ways to approach new ideas and concepts. They also give teachers tools to cater the learning experience to the specific needs of each student.

What is an example of psychom*otor domain? ›

Psychom*otor (Physical Skills) - Examples include skills utilizing hand-eye coordination such as throwing a ball, driving a car, operating a machine, playing an instrument or typing.

The 4 pillars of learning correspond to the 3 domains of teaching - cognitive, psychom*otor, and affective.

Psychom*otor (Physical Skills) - Examples include skills utilizing hand-eye coordination such as throwing a ball, driving a car, operating a machine, playing an instrument or typing. (See References section at the bottom for links in which specific examples of each domain were located).

Definitions of the affective domain

Receiving is being aware of or sensitive to the existence of certain ideas, material, or phenomena and being willing to tolerate them. Examples include: to differentiate, to accept, to listen (for), to respond to.

The affective domain characterizes the emotional arena reflected by learners' beliefs, values and interests. The psychom*otor domain reflects learning behavior achieved through neuromuscular motor activities.
