    Study Notes

    The Affective Domain

    • The Affective Domain focuses on learning objectives that emphasize feelings, emotions, and acceptance/rejection.
    • It's harder to objectively assess than the Cognitive Domain, ranging from simple attention to complex character traits.

    Taxonomy of the Affective Domain

    • Receiving: Being aware of and willing to tolerate ideas, materials, or phenomena.
      • Examples: Differentiate, accept, listen, respond.
    • Responding: Actively engaging with ideas, materials, or phenomena.
      • Examples: Comply, follow, commend, volunteer, spend leisure time.
    • Valuing: Willing to be perceived as valuing certain ideas, materials, or phenomena.
      • Examples: Increase proficiency, relinquish, subsidize, support, debate.
    • Organization: Relating values to existing ones, creating a consistent philosophy.
      • Examples: Discuss, theorize, formulate, balance, examine.
    • Characterization: Acting consistently with internalized values.
      • Examples: Revise, require, be rated high in value, avoid, resist, manage, resolve.

    Focal Concepts in the Affective Domain: Attitudes

    • Definition: A mental predisposition to act, expressed by evaluating an entity with favor or disfavor.
    • Attitudes focus on objects, people, or institutions, and relate to mental categories (values).
    • Components:
      • Cognitions: Beliefs, theories, expectancies, perceptions.
      • Affect: Feelings towards the attitude object (e.g., fear, liking, anger).
      • Behavioral Intentions: Goals, aspirations, expected responses.
      • Evaluation: Judging the attitude object as good or bad, often stored in memory.

    Importance of Studying Attitudes

    • Attitudes can influence how we act and think within our social communities.
    • They serve as frameworks for forming conclusions and interpreting or acting for or against entities.

    Motivation

    • Definition: Reason(s) for engaging in a particular behavior, ranging from basic needs to desirable goals or states of being.
    • Geen (1995): Motivation encompasses the initiation, direction, intensity, and persistence of behavior.

    Theories of Motivation

    • Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs:
      • Unsatisfied needs influence behavior, satisfied needs do not.
      • Needs are arranged in order of importance, from basic to complex.
      • Progression to higher needs depends on satisfying lower ones.
      • Higher needs lead to more individuality, humanness, and psychological health.
      • Needs: Physiological, Safety and security, Social, Self-esteem, Self-actualization.
    • Herzberg's Motivation-Hygiene Theory:
      • Motivators: Challenging work, recognition, responsibility (lead to positive satisfaction).
      • Hygiene Factors: Status, job security, salary (do not motivate but their absence demotivates).

    Assessing the Affective Domain: Semantic Differential Scales

    • Measure an individual's reaction to words, ideas, or concepts using bipolar scales with contrasting adjectives.

    Development of Assessment Tools: Thurstone and Likert Scales

    • Thurstone: Developed the concept of attitude continuum, measuring favorability towards an issue.
    • Likert Scale: Individuals rate their agreement or disagreement with statements about an attitude object.

    Development of Assessment Tools: Checklists

    • Simple instruments where students or teachers mark items as "present" or "absent."
    • Checklist construction:
      1. Enumerate attributes and characteristics to be observed.
      2. Arrange attributes as a list.
      3. Ask students to mark present attributes and leave blank those not present.
