Study Notes
Affective Domain Assessment
- Affective domain assessment is not only useful for teachers to know information about students but also for students to have self-awareness of their feelings, emotions, and attitudes.
- Self-awareness can make students reflect on how they are in the process of learning, which enhances learning and contributes to academic success.
Importance of Affective Assessment
- Affective assessment helps teachers determine what steps need to be taken to help students achieve academic success.
- Knowledge of what students view, perceive, and feel as they are engaged in learning activities will guide teachers to improve their teaching strategies and enhance learning.
- Affective assessment can provide supplemental information about a learning difficulty or behavior problem that affects learning.
Levels of Affective Traits
Organize
- This level involves internalizing and integrating feelings, emotions, beliefs, opinions, etc., resulting in actions where new values and traits emerge.
- The learner is able to discern independently what is right from wrong and make decisions based on their own judgment.
Characterize
- In this level, the learner demonstrates their beliefs and attitudes not only in a single event or situation but in multiple events, showing consistency of behavior that establishes an image or character of the learner.
- The behavior extends beyond the school setting and becomes part of the learner's lifestyle.
