Who: Benjamin Bloom
What: Taxonomy of Learning Domains
Where: Some Colleges
When: 1956
This article on Bloom's Taxonomy is mainly about the three types of learning which are Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor. The Cognitive Domain is the domain in which a person's learning deals with more of the mental skills. They broke down the Cognitive Domain to six categories; knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. This domain involves knowledge and intellectual skills. As you start from the first category, you will soon progress to the next category in which it can be easily seen as going to the next level every time one is mastered. The next domain, would be the Affective domain in which a person's learning deals more on the growth of feeling and in the emotional areas. There are five different categories in this domain; receiving phenomena, responding to phenomena, valuing, organization, internalizing values. The Psychomotor Domain is the last of the domains. This domain is mainly on the motor skills and the physical areas. This domain is broken down into seven categories; perception, set, guided response, mechanism, complex overt response, adaptation, origination. These types of learing is used in our daily lives without us knowing it. If I had never read this article, I wouldn't be educated on this topic and unaware that everything I do deals with Bloom's Taxonomy.
The experiences that I had with Blooms Taxanomy can be seen in multiple activities conducted during class. Many of our activities involve the use of physical skills, mental skills, and the use of skills in the emotional areas. The three types of learning is commonly used in our daily lives. One example of an activity that deals with physical skill would be in a PE class where everyone is active and moving. That would fall under the Psychomotor Domain. Where as a english class deals with more on the mental skills i.e Jeopardy. That would fall under the Cognitive Domain. Even as simple as class discussions. That would fall under the Affective Domain.
It's short but i think it has a good understanding of what the article is trying to say and how the classes workd on every thing that Bloom explained.
