Study Notes

Affective Domain Assessment

  • The affective domain is part of a system published in 1965, used for identifying, understanding, and addressing how people learn.
  • It describes learning objectives focusing on feelings, tone, emotion, acceptance, or rejection.

Kratwohl's Taxonomy of Affective Domain (1964)

  • The taxonomy in the affective domain has a large number of objectives.
  • These objectives include interests, attitudes, appreciations, values, and emotional biases.

Taxonomy of Affective Domain (1964) - Descriptions

  • Receiving: Being aware of or attending to something in the environment.
  • Responding: Showing new behaviors as a result of experience.
  • Valuing: Showing definite involvement and commitment.
  • Organization: Integrating a new value into one's general values, ranking among general priorities.
  • Characterization: Acting consistently with the new value.

Behavioral Words (Examples)

  • Receiving: accept, attend, develop, recognize
  • Responding: complete, comply, cooperate, discuss, examine, obey, respond
  • Valuing: defend, devote, pursue, seek
  • Organization: display, order, organize, systematize
  • Characterization: internalize, verify

Affective Topics in Educational Literature

  • Attitudes, motivation, communication styles, classroom management styles, learning styles
  • Use of technology in the classroom, nonverbal communication, interests, predisposition, and self-efficacy.

Importance of Affective Domain

  • Tapping the potentials of the affective domain enhances learning, increasing the likelihood of real and authentic learning among students.

Affective Learning Competencies

  • Affective desired learning competencies are often stated in the form of instructional objectives.

Instructional Objectives

  • Instructional objectives are specific, measurable, short-term, observable student behaviors.
  • Objectives are the foundation for building lessons and assessments.
  • Objectives act as tools to ensure goals are reached.
  • Objectives ensure learning is focused, allowing students and teachers to know what is happening and enabling objective measurement.

Examples of Receiving and Responding

  • Receiving: awareness, willingness to hear/receive
  • Examples: to differentiate, to accept, to listen (for), to respond to
  • Responding: Active participation of students, attends and reacts on phenomenon, willingness to respond
  • Examples: to comply with, to follow, to command, to volunteer, to acclaim

Examples of Valuing, Organization, and Characterization

  • Valuing: worth or value a person attaches, organizes values, emphasis on comparing, relating, and synthesizing values
  • Examples: to relinquish, to subsidize, to support, to debate, to discuss, to theorize, to formulate, to balance, to examine
  • Characterization: act consistently, internalized values, concerned with general patterns
  • Examples: to revise, to require, to manage, to resolve, shows self-reliance, cooperates, group activities, and displays teamwork

Affective Focal Concepts

  • Attitudes: Mental predisposition to act, expressed by evaluating an entity with favor or disfavor.
  • Components of Attitudes:
    • Cognitions: Beliefs, theories, expectancies, cause-and-effect beliefs, and perceptions of the focal object.
    • Affect: Feelings with respect to the focal object (fear, liking, anger)
    • Behavioral Intentions: Goals, aspirations, and expected responses to the attitude object.
    • Evaluation: Central component of attitude, imputing goodness or badness to an attitude object.

Why Study Attitudes?

  • Attitudes influence how people act and think within social communities.

Motivation

  • A reason or reasons for engaging in a particular behavior, especially human behavior.
  • Reasons may include basic needs, an object, goal, state of being, or ideal.

Assessment Tools in the Affective Domain

  • Self-Report: Most common; requires individuals to account for their attitude/feelings toward a concept/idea of people.
  • Rating Scales: Close-ended survey questions representing respondent feedback in a comparative form for specific features/products/services. It's one of the most established question types for online and offline surveys where respondents rate an attribute or feature.
  • Variants of the popular multiple-choice question, widely used to gather relative information about a specific topic.
  • Benefits: Students understand target/outcomes, focus on performance, specific feedback on strengths/weaknesses with respect to measured targets, learning standards, growth and progress.
  • Checklists: Simple items marked as "absent" or "present." Lists tasks, items, or steps and keeps track of progress, ensuring nothing is forgotten.
  • Semantic Differential Scales: Assesses individuals' reactions to words, ideas, or concepts with bipolar scales and contrasting adjectives.
  • Three Basic Dimensions: Evaluation (goodness/badness of a concept), Potency (strength/intensity of a concept), and Activity (level of energy/dynamism associated with a concept).
  • Thurstone Scale: Developed by Louis Leon Thurstone, it measures attitudes using a continuum, determining the position of favorability on a particular issue. Used to assess attitudes about social phenomena and produces quantifiable measures of attitude strength.
  • Advantages and Disadvantages of Thurstone and Likert Scale
  • Likert Scale: Individuals tick a box to report agreement/disagreement ("strongly agree," "agree," "undecided," "disagree," or "strongly disagree").
