Study Notes

Bloom's Taxonomy by Domain & Learning Level

Bloom's Taxonomy categorizes educational objectives into three domains: Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor
Cognitive domain focuses on knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
Affective domain focuses on feelings, emotions, and attitudes.
Psychomotor domain focuses on physical skills and actions.

Learning Outcomes

What is Competency?

Competency is a combination of skills, knowledge, and attitude that allows an individual to perform a task effectively in the workplace.
It focuses on workplace performance standards.
Competency emphasizes the application of knowledge and skills to actual job tasks and procedures.

Bloom's Taxonomy

Bloom's taxonomy is a classification system for educational objectives.
It categorizes learning objectives into three domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor
The cognitive domain focuses on mental abilities and intellectual processes.
The affective domain involves emotions, attitude, values and self-concept.
The psychomotor domain focuses on physical abilities and skills.

Cognitive Domain

Skills in the cognitive domain are about knowledge, comprehension, and critical thinking within a particular topic.
There are six levels within the cognitive domain which range from the least complex to most complex.

Cognitive Domain Levels

Knowledge: recalling facts and remembering information
- Define, List, Label, Outline, Recall, State, Tell
Comprehension: understanding concepts and interpreting information.
- Translate, Describe, Discuss, Explain, Express, Identify, Report, Compare
Application: applying learned information to solve new problems.
- Implement, Operate, Use, Solve
Analysis: breaking down information into parts to understand relationships.
- Analyze, Criticize, Differentiate, Distinguish
Synthesis: combining parts to form a new whole.
- Construct, Design, Organize, Create, Plan
Evaluation: judging the value of information and quality of a conclusion.
- Assess, Measure, Judge, Critique, Evaluate

Psychomotor Domain

Skills in the psychomotor domain involve using tools and instruments, and focus on physical actions and behaviors.
The psychomotor domain has six levels of skills which range from least complex to most complex.

Psychomotor Domain Levels

Perception: using senses to guide movements.
- Key Words: Estimate, chooses, describes, detects, differentiates, distinguishes, identifies, isolates, relates, selects.
Set: being ready to act physically and mentally.
- Key Words: Begins, Displays, Explains, Moves, Proceeds, Reacts, Shows, States, Volunteers, Demonstrates, Assumes/takes a position
Guided Response: learning basic processes through practice.
- Key Words: Copies, Follows, Reacts, Responds, Attempts, Imitates, Tries
Mechanism: performing skills with some consistency.
- Key Words: Assembles, Calibrates, Constructs, Displays, Fixes, Grinds, Heats, Manipulates, Measures, Mixes, Organizes, Sketches
Complex overt response: performing skilled behaviors proficiently.
- Key Words: Operates, Displays, Calibrates accurately, Fixes tightly
Adaptation: adjusting learned movement to fit specific situations.
- Key Words: Adapts, Alters, Changes, Rearranges, Reorganizes, Revises, Modifies, Varies
Origination: creating new movement patterns.
- Key Words: Arranges, Builds, Constructs, Creates, Designs, Initiate, Makes, Originates

Affective Domain

The affective domain deals with feelings, emotions, and expressions of attitude.
There are five levels within the affective domain.

Affective Domain Levels

Receiving: willingness to receive certain information and ideas
Responding: actively participating in learning.
Valuing: importance assigned to a topic.
Organizing: sorting values into priorities
Characterizing: consistency in a value system

Stages of Learning (Broadwell's Model)

Unconscious incompetence: unaware of a skill or knowledge gap.
Conscious incompetence: aware of lack of skill or knowledge.
Conscious competence: working on refining a skill or knowledge.
Unconscious competence: automatic execution of the learned skill/knowledge

Kirkpatrick Model

A model for evaluating training programs.
Reaction: learner satisfaction with the training program.
Learning: acquisition of knowledge and skills.
Behavior: how learners apply the new knowledge and skills in the workplace
Results: the impact of the training on the organization's goals.

Factors Affecting Learning

Motivation: the drive or encouragement to complete a task
Practice: repetition that improves proficiency in a skill
Environment: the surrounding environment, that includes internal/external factors
Mental group: the influence of people/groups with shared mentality

Five-Step Cycle to Improve Learning in the Classroom

Prior Knowledge (assessing students' prior knowledge)
Presenting new material (effective delivery and methods)
Challenge (effective tasks and activities)
Feedback (demonstrate and provide guidance for improvement)
Repetition (reinforcing knowledge through repetition)
