 BLOOM’S TAXONOMY |
| Classification of the different objectives and skills that educators set for learners. It is a hierarchical classification, which means that learning at higher levels is dependent on having attained prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower levels. It divides educational objectives into three domains, namely Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor. Each domain is further divided into sub-categories.
In Bloom’s Taxonomy[1], the Cognitive domain relates to knowledge and intellect while the Affective domain deals with values and perception, and the Psychomotor domain focuses on developing or acquiring skills. One of the goals of the taxonomy is to motivate educators to focus on all three domains, creating a more holistic form of education. See also: A.D.D.I.E Model; Learning Objectives |
| Domain | Sub-categories | What Learners Do |
|---|---|---|
| Cognitive
(intellectual skills) |
|
|
| Affective
(emotional areas) |
|
|
| Psychomotor
(manual or physical skills) |
