Domains of Learning Chapter 2 Flashcards

Study Notes

Domains of Learning

Learning is classified into three domains: Cognitive (thinking), Affective (feeling), and Psychomotor (doing).

Cognitive Domain

Associated with mental activity and involves six levels of increasing complexity:
- Knowledge: Remembering information
- Comprehension: Understanding and explaining meanings
- Application: Using learned knowledge in concrete situations
- Analysis: Breaking down information into parts
- Synthesis: Integrating parts to form new wholes
- Evaluation: Judging the merits of ideas and phenomena; the most complex level

Basic Levels of Learning in Cognitive Domain

Four foundational levels:
- Rote: Repeating learned information without comprehension; lowest level
- Understanding: Grasping the nature or meaning of information
- Application: Putting learned information into practical use
- Correlation: Associating new learning with previous knowledge; important for aviation instruction

Affective Domain

Relates to personal attitudes, beliefs, and values, with levels classified as:
- Receiving: Willingness to pay attention; least complex level
- Responding: Voluntary reactions or compliance to stimuli
- Valuing: Acceptance and recognition of values
- Organization: Rearrangement of one’s value system
- Characterization: Incorporating values into life; most complex level

Psychomotor Domain

Concerns physical skill development, classified into seven levels:
- Perception: Awareness of sensory stimuli
- Set: Relating cues and knowing what to do
- Guided Response: Performing as demonstrated by an instructor
- Mechanism: Proficient execution of simple skills
- Complex Overt Response: Skilled performance of complex activities
- Adaptation: Modifying skills for special problems
- Origination: Creating new movement patterns; creativity in skill application

Practical Instruction Levels in Psychomotor Domain

Stages of practical instruction include:
- Observation: Learner watches an experienced individual perform a skill
- Imitation: Learner attempts to replicate the skill
- Practice: Learner repeatedly engages in a specific activity
- Habit: Learner can perform the skill efficiently, usually in half the time of an expert.
