This document summarizes a presentation on assessing learning in the affective domain. It discusses defining instructional objectives that focus on feelings, emotions, and attitudes. Examples of affective learning objectives include arranging a civil rights rally or attending a lecture on civil rights.

6. Affective Learning Competencies
• Instructional objectives are specific, measurable, short-term,
observable student behaviors

of education but to ensure that learning is focused clearly

and so learning can be objectively measured.
