The document discusses Bloom's Taxonomy, which classifies learning objectives into three domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. The cognitive domain involves mental skills and ranges from basic recall to evaluation. The affective domain involves attitudes, values, and emotions. The psychomotor domain involves physical skills. Verbs are provided as examples for writing learning objectives within each domain and level.

1. TEFL III Bloom`s Taxonomy (Classification of learning objectives)

2. Presentation objectives Develop a better understanding of the three categories of learning objectives Differentiate the three domains of Bloom’s taxonomy

3. History of Bloom’s Taxonomy Bloom’s Taxonomy was created in 1948 by psychologist Benjamin Bloom and several colleagues. Originally developed as a method of classifying educational goals for student performance evaluation, Bloom’s Taxonomy has been revised over the years and is still utilized in education today.

4. CLASSIFICATION OF LEARNIG OBJECTIVES Cognitive Domain Affective Domain Psychomotor Domain

5. Cognitive domain involves mental operations at all levels Affective domain involves feelings, attitudes, and values at various levels Psychomotor domain involves development of the body and skills it performs, physical skills at all levels BLOOM’S THREE CATEGORIES OF LEARNIG OBJECTIVES

10. 3 . Application It refers to the ability to use learned material in a new situation, different from the original learning context. exhibit, solve, interview, simulate, apply, employ, use, demonstrate, dramatize, practice, illustrate, operate, calculate, show, experiment

11. 4. Analysis It refers to the ability to break down material into its component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood. interpret, classify, analyze, arrange, differentiate, group, compare, organize, contrast, examine, scrutinize, survey, categorize, dissect, probe, inventory, investigate, question, discover, text, inquire, distinguish, detect, diagram, inspect

12. 5. Synthesis It refers to the ability to integrate ideas into a new product or plan compose, setup, plan, prepare, propose, imagine, produce, hypothesize, invent, incorporate, develop, generalize, design, originate, formulate, predict, arrange, contrive, assemble, concoct, construct, systematize, create

13. 6. Evaluation It is concerned with the ability to judge/critique whether information or an argument is good or bad based on specific standards/criteria judge, assess, decide, measure, appraise, estimate, evaluate, infer, rate, deduce, compare, score, value, predict, revise, choose, conclude, recommend, select, determine, criticize

14. Psychomotor Domain involves development of the body and skills it performs: physical skills at all levels Reflex movements Fundamental movements Perceptual abilities Physical abilities Skilled movements Nondiscursive communication

15. Reflex movements: The basis of all movements stretch inhibit relax extend shorten lengthen tense straighten Fundamental Movements slide walk run jump grasp reach support handle crawl creep grasp tighten

16. Perceptual abilities catch bounce eat write balance bend draw from memory distinguish by touching Physical abilities improve increase stop endure start touch bend move precisely

18. Affective Domain involves feelings, attitudes, and values at various levels Receiving Responding Valuing Organization Characterization

19. WRITING AFFECTIVE OBJECTIVES These objectives focus on changing learners’ attitudes The expression of these often involves statements of opinions, beliefs, or an assessment of worth (Smith & Ragan, 1999).
