Correct Answer - Option 4 : Emotional domain
Bloom's taxonomy is considered a three-rank hierarchical model. The three levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy are discussed below.
-
Cognitive domain: The cognitive domain of Bloom's taxonomy includes knowledge and intellectual skill development. In terms of complexity levels, there are six sub-heads of the cognitive domain.
- Knowledge – remembering or recognizing something previously encountered without necessarily understanding, using, or changing it.
- Comprehension – understanding the material being communicated without necessarily relating it to anything else.
- Application – using the general concepts to solve a particular problem.
- Analysis – breaking something down into parts.
- Synthesis – creating something new by combining different ideas.
- Evaluation – judging the value of materials or methods as they might be applied in a particular situation.
-
2. Affective domain: The affective domain describes learning objectives that emphasize a feeling tone, an emotion, or a degree of acceptance or rejection. There are five sub-heads 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.
- Responding is committed in some small measure to the ideas, materials, or phenomena involved by actively responding to them. Examples are: to comply with, to follow, to commend, to volunteer, to spend leisure time in, to acclaim.
- Valuing is willing to be perceived by others as valuing certain ideas, materials, or phenomena. Examples include: to increase measured proficiency in, to relinquish, to subsidize, to support, to debate.
- The organization is to relate the value to those already held and bring it into a harmonious and internally consistent philosophy. Examples are: to discuss, to theorize, to formulate, to balance, to examine.
- Characterization by value or value set is to act consistently in accordance with the values he or she has internalized. Examples include: to revise, to require, to be rated high in the value, to avoid, to resist, to manage, to resolve.
- The Affective domain in Bloom's taxonomy describes learning objectives that emphasize a feeling tone, an emotion, interests, and attitudes or a degree of acceptance or rejection.
-
The emotional is a vast array of internal feelings that not only react to our environment but project themselves onto our environment and others, allowing us to interpret and respond to events.
- The Affective Domain in the Classroom. Yet the affective domain can significantly enhance, inhibit or even prevent student learning. The affective domain includes factors such as student motivation, attitudes, perceptions, and values.
-
3. Psychomotor domain: The psychomotor domain refers to those objectives that are specific to reflex actions interpretive movements and discreet physical functions. There are six sub-heads of the psychomotor domain.
- Reflex movements – actions that occur involuntarily in response to some stimulus.
- Basic fundamental movements – innate movement patterns formed from a combination of reflex movements.
- Perceptual abilities – translation of stimuli received through the senses into appropriate movements.
- Physical abilities – basic movements and abilities that are essential to the development of more highly skilled movements.
- Skilled movements – more complex movements requiring a certain degree of efficiency.
- Non-discursive movements – ability to communicate through body movement.
Hence, we can conclude that the right answer to this question is the emotional domain.
