    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.

    Affective Variables in Learning

    • Attitudes: The most talked-about affective factor in a student's learning, referring to a person's reaction (positive or negative) towards an object, activity, person, or environment.
    • Values: Characteristics or traits that a person holds in high importance, guiding their future actions and decisions.
    • Beliefs: Convictions or opinions held to be true, influencing a person's behavior and decisions.

    Assessment Techniques

    • Student Journals: Effective tools for assessing and monitoring student thinking and attitudes, providing a guided opportunity for students to "think aloud" through writing.
    • Observation: An assessment tool that involves looking out for the presence or absence of behaviors of learners in a natural setting.
