3. Focus Questions:
• What are objective-related principle and their
implications to teaching?
• What are the three domains of learning?
• How do we write good lesson objectives?
4.
5. 1. “Begin with the end mind”
• In the context of teaching, this means that we
must begin our lesson with clearly defined
lesson objective.
6. 2. Share lesson objective with students.
• Like a seminar that begins with a statement
purpose, our lesson ought to begin with a
statement and clarification of our lesson
objective.
7. 3. Lesson objectives must be in the two or
three domain – knowledge (cognitive), skill
(psychomotor) and values (affective)
• Our lesson maybe dominantly cognitive
psychomotor or affective.
• Dominantly cognitive - meant primarily for
knowledge acquisition and
• Dominantly psychomotor - intended for the
acquisition and honoring of skills.
• Affective domain - mainly focused on attitude
and value formation.
8. 4. Work on significant and relevant
lesson objectives.
• With our lesson
objective becoming our
students’ objective too,
our students will be
self-propelled as we
teach.
9. 5. Lesson objective must be aligned
with the aims of education as
embodied in the Philippine
Constitutions and on the vision-
mission statements of the educational
institution of which you are a part.
10. 6. Aim at the development of critical
and creative thinking.
• This is said more than
done. We need not go
into a laborious
research to be
convinced that the
development of
critical and creative
thinking is wanting in
classroom.
11. 7. For accountability of learning,
lesson objectives must be SMART
• When our lesson objective is SMART it is quite
easy to find out at the end of our lesson if we
attained our objective or not.
13. TAXONOMY OF OBJECTIVES
With educational taxonomy, learning is
classified into three domains namely: (1)
cognitive, (2) affective, (3) psychomotor or
behavioral.
14. Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognitive
Domain
• Benjamin Bloom (1956) led his group in
coming up with the list of instructional
objectives in the cognitive domain.
15. Arranged from lowest to the highest
level, they are as follows:
• Knowledge or recall –
knowledge of
terminology and
conventions, trends and
sequences, classifications
and categories, criteria
and methodologies,
principles, theories, and
structures;
19. Synthesis – putting parts together in a new form
such as a unique communication, a plan of
operation, and a set of abstract relations;
20. Evaluation – judging in terms of internal
evidence or logical consistency and external
evidence or consistency with facts developed
elsewhere;
21.
22. Anderson’s Taxonomy of Cognitive
Domain
In the 1990’s, Anderson, Bloom’s former
student, together with a team of cognitive
psychologists revisited Bloom’s taxonomy in the
light of the 21st century skills. This led to
Anderson’s taxonomy in 2001.

29. Krathwol’s Taxonomy of Affective
Domain
Krathwol’s affective learning is
demonstrated by behaviors indicating attitudes
of awareness, interest, and values of concern,
and responsibility, ability to listen and respond
in interactions with others, and ability to
demonstratethose attitudinal characteristics or
values which are appropriate to the test
situation and the field of study.
30. Krathwol’s Taxonomy of Objectives
Usually the Waterloo of teachers, is the
formulation of objectives in the affective domain.

to what Bloom and Krathwohl did for learning
objectives in the psychomotor domain.

43. Precision – the highest level
of the psychomotor
taxonomy – students can
perform a skill accurately,
efficiently and effortlessly.
Automaticity – the ability to
perform a skill with
unconscious effort, has
developed, which then frees
the student to concentrate
on other elements of the
activity or game.
