Publisher's Synopsis
Learning is often classified into three areas or domains: mental or Cognitive, emotional or Affective, and physical or Psychomotor. Outstanding teachers have always sought to make their lessons more than mere recalling and understanding facts in the Cognitive domain. In the past fifty years many of them have turned to classification systems such as Bloom's Taxonomy to assist them in helping students develop higher order thinking skills. On further reflection, many teachers came to the realization that teaching in the Affective and Psychomotor domains also involves classification or a hierarchy of levels. This book is the only comprehensive guide available to teachers and curriculum specialists that classifies human learning and behavior in all three domains. It also identifies analogous relationships at each level between the domains, breaks down common teaching practices into levels, and provides examples and exercises at many levels in all three domains.
