The psychomotor domain includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas. Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance, procedures, or techniques in execution.

3. INTRODUCION
The psychomotor domain, as described by Benjamin Bloom and
his colleagues in their taxonomy of educational objectives, is
divided into different levels or stages that represent the
progression of physical skills and abilities. These levels range from
simple to complex, with each level building upon the previous one.
The psychomotor domain levels are often used in education and
training to design learning objectives and assess skill
development.

4. Levels Of Psychomotor Domain

5. 1 PERCEPTION:
At this level, individuals become aware of and can
recognize specific stimuli or cues. They are not yet
physically responding but are developing the ability to
perceive and identify relevant information. For example,
a novice musician learning to recognize musical notes.
Keywords: Identifying, Recognizing, Noticing

6. 2 SET:
In this stage, learners are mentally prepared to perform
a skill. They are getting ready to execute a physical
action but have not yet begun the movement. For
instance, an athlete preparing to start a sprint.
Keywords: Preparing, Getting ready. Organizing

7. 3 GUIDED RESPONSE:
At this level, learners begin to mimic and imitate physical
actions. They are following step-by-step instructions or
demonstrations and may require guidance and feedback.
Think of a beginner in a dance class mirroring the
instructor's movements.
Keywords: Imitating, Following instructions, Copying

8. 4 MECHANISM:
In this stage, learners start to develop basic motor skills
and coordination. They can perform actions with less
guidance and fewer errors. For example, a novice typist
who can now type with fewer keystroke errors.
Keywords: Developing coordination, Performing basic skills,
Executing movements

9. 5 COMPLEX OVERT RESPONSE:
At this stage, individuals can perform more complex and
coordinated movements with less effort. They have
honed their skills to a higher level of proficiency. An
example might be a skilled woodworker creating intricate
joinery.
Keywords:
Proficient performance, Skillful execution, Mastering techniques

10. 6 ADAPTATION:
Learners at this level can modify their movements and
actions based on changing circumstances. They have the
ability to adapt their skills to different situations and problem-
solve in real-time. Think of a professional driver adjusting
their technique to handle various road conditions.
Keywords:
Adjusting to changes, Modifying technique, Problem-solving in real-time

11. 7 ORIGINATION:
This is the highest level in the psychomotor domain. At this
stage, learners have mastered their skills to the point where
they can create new movements or actions. They can
combine different skills and techniques creatively. For
instance, a master chef inventing a new recipe.
Keywords:
Creating new movements. Innovating techniques, Inventing novel approaches
