This document discusses the three domains of learning: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. It focuses on the affective domain, which involves educational objectives related to attitudes, values, beliefs and appreciation. Krathwohl's taxonomy of the affective domain outlines five levels - receiving, responding, valuing, organization, and characterization. Instructional objectives in the affective domain should be specific, measurable, and observable. Examples of appropriate verbs to use for each level of the affective domain are provided.
