Three Types of Learning

The committee identified three domains of educational activities or learning:

1. Cognitive: mental skills (Knowledge)2. Affective: growth in feelings or emotional

areas (Attitude or self)3. Psychomotor: manual or physical skills

(Skills)

involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills

What is Cognitive?

Cognitive Learning

Is about enabling people to learn by using their reason, intuition and perception, which is often used to change peoples' behaviour.

People's behaviour is influenced by many factors such as culture,

upbringing, education and motivation.

Therefore cognitive learning involves understanding how

these factors influence behaviour and then using this

information to develop learning programmes.

Cognitive Domain

1. Remembering

2. Understanding

3. Applying

4. Analysing

5. Evaluating

6. Creating

Willing to listen and open to new experiences.

Telling in your own words the importance of Chemistry in daily life.

Using the given information on diet and exercise for Person A, predict their change in body mass over a 2 week period.

Film yourself throwing a baseball. Break down your throw into key parts and identify the cues you did and did not perform.

Justify why you chose that offensive play against their defense.

Invent a new dance move for the Waltz.

In cognitive learning, the individual learns by listening, watching, touching,

reading, or experiencing and then processing and remembering the

information. Cognitive learning might seem to be passive learning, because

there is no motor movement.

What is Affective?

includes the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings,

values, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes.

Affective Domain

1. Receive 2. Respond 3. Value 4. Organize 5. Internalize Values

DefinitionWilling to listen and open to new experiences.

Actively responding to an activity.

Attaching value to something and expressing personal opinions.

To express personal views, beliefs, or opinions.

To act consistently according to one's personal beliefs and values.

Example

Listen to the teacher's points about the value of corporate fitness programs.

Participate in the group's discussion

Taking a particular position/stance on a subject.

State your personal belief and explain why.

Meet all of the criteria listed on the rubric for being an active role model.

What is Psychomotor?

includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas.

Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision,

distance, procedures, or techniques in execution.

Psychomotor Domain

1. Imitation

2. Manipulation

3. Precision

4. Articulation

5. Naturalization

DefinitionCopying the action of another.

Reproduce activity from instruction or memory.

Execute a skill reliably without help.

Two or more skills combined and performed consistently.

Automatic mastery of skills at high strategic level.

Example

Watch the teacher and copy her movements.

Perform the backhand throw using the cues listed.

Demonstrate the backhand throw to another student.

Combine inline skating stride 2 and a wrist shot.

Create your own dance routine.

Levels of Psychomotor

1. Perception: to distinguish, to show, to choose, to connect, etc.

2. Preparedness: to preceded, to respond, to prepare, to initiate, etc.

3. Guided motion (simulating an example): to practice, to follow an instruction, to participate, to do/make something, etc.

4. Accustomed motion (grasping on a pattern): to operate, to set up, to demonstrate, etc.

5. Complex motion (gracefulness, agility)6. The adaptation of a vary motion and creativity:

to change, to reform, to create, to design, etc. 

Learning takes place in 3 domains: cognitive, psychomotor, and

affective. The purpose of those taxonomies shown before is to make it easier for the educator to understand how to sequence learning tasks in a

logical order of difficulty. After a learning by using all the three types- which can be

thought as “the goals of learning process”, the learner

should have acquired new skills, knowledge, and/or

attitudes.
