    Study Notes

    Competency

    • A combination of skills, knowledge, and attitude needed for successful job performance.
    • Focuses on actual job performance, not just knowledge or skills acquisition.

    Bloom's Taxonomy

    • A classification system for educational objectives, dividing them into three domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.

    Cognitive Domain

    • Skills in the cognitive domain revolve around knowledge, comprehension, and critical thinking in a specific subject.
    • Includes six levels, each ranking from lower to higher order processes:
    Knowledge
    • Ability to recall learned information from memory, including facts, terms, basic concepts, and answers.
    • Verbs used: Define, list, label, outline, recall, state, tell.
    • Example Questions:
      • What are the health benefits of eating apples?
      • Define ischemic heart disease.
      • List 4 causes of ischemic heart disease.
    Comprehension
    • Interpretation of learned material, changing knowledge into another form, or predicting outcomes.
    • Verbs used: Translate, describe, discuss, explain, express, identify, report, compare.
    • Example Questions:
      • Compare the health benefits of eating apples vs. oranges.
      • Discuss the importance of following aseptic technique in wound dressing.
      • Describe the structure of the skin.
    Application
    • Using acquired knowledge to solve problems in new situations by applying facts, techniques & rules in a different way.
    • Verbs used: Implement, operate, use, solve.
    • Example:
      • The learner composes a new symphony.
      • Develops a new training program.

    Psychomotor Domain

    • Skills in the psychomotor domain involve physical abilities and coordination.
    • Includes five levels, each ranking from lower to higher order processes:
    Perception & Set
    • The initial stage of learning a new skill. It involves awareness and understanding of the skill, as well as an individual's mental and physical readiness to perform the skill.
    Mechanism
    • The learner begins to use their body and mind to perform the skill. They practice the skill and start to develop a certain level of proficiency.

    Affective Domain

    • Describes how people react emotionally and their ability to feel and understand others’ emotions.
    • Includes five levels, from lowest to highest:
    Receiving
    • The learner becomes willing to receive information, such as listening with respect or showing sensitivity to social problems.
    • Example: Listening and remembering classmates' names on the first day of school.
    Responding
    • The learner actively participates in their learning, showing interest in the subject and participating in class discussions.
    • Example : Participating in a class discussion.
    Valuing
    • The learner attaches value to specific information or objects. This involves acceptance of information, ranging from basic acknowledgment to a strong commitment.
    • Example: Valuing diversity and being sensitive to others' backgrounds and beliefs.
    Organizing
    • The learner develops a unique value system and prioritizes values. Comparing and relating previously identified values are central to this stage.
    • Example: Accepting professional ethical standards.
    Characterizing
    • The learner develops a consistent value system that guides their behavior. The individual's beliefs, ideas, and attitudes heavily influence their actions.
    • Example: Displays a professional commitment to ethical standards in the workplace.

    Levels of Learning: Kirkpatrick Model

    • Measures the effectiveness of training programs by considering four levels:

    Level 1: Reaction

    • Measures learner engagement and satisfaction with the training, typically through post-training surveys (often known as "smile sheets").

    Level 2: Learning

    • Measures knowledge and skill acquisition through formal or informal assessments like exams or interviews, including pre-learning and post-learning evaluations.

    Level 3: Behavior

    • Measures how learners apply what they've learned in real-world situations, identifying if the skills are used in the workplace.

    Level 4: Results

    • Measures the impact of training on organizational outcomes, including key performance indicators (KPIs) established before training.

    Factors That Affect Learning

    • There are several factors that influence the learning process:
      • Motivation: The desire to learn and achieve a goal.
      • Practice: Repeating and applying learned skills.
      • Environment: The surrounding context, both external (school, workplace) and internal (family, social groups).
      • Mental Group: The influence of the peer group on individual thinking.

    Five-Step Cycle to Improve Classroom Learning

    • This cycle emphasizes a structured approach to learning:

    Step 1: Prior Knowledge

    • Assessing the learner's existing knowledge, allowing for connections between new information and pre-existing concepts.
