Bloom’s Taxonomy Three Domains

of learning Objectives.

Presented by: Marlon P. Jaugan Jr

An introduction to Bloom's Taxonomy

• Bloom's Taxonomy comprises three learning domains: the cognitive,

affective, and psychomotor, and assigns to each of these domains a
hierarchy that corresponds to different levels of learning.
The 3 domains of bloom’s taxonomy.

Cognitive Domain

• The cognitive domain is focused on intellectual skills such as critical

thinking, problem solving, and creating a knowledge base. It was
the first domain created by the original group of Bloom’s
researchers. The cognitive hierarchy extends from simple
memorization designed to build the knowledge of learners, to
creating something new based on previously-learned information. In
this domain, learners are expected to progress in a linear manner,
beginning at "remember" and ending at "create."
 Cognitive Domain.

The Cognitive Domain develops six areas of intellectual skills that build
sequentially from simple to complex behaviors.
Bloom arranged them this way:
• Knowledge (recall of information)
• Comprehension (understanding of meaning)
• Application (use of concept)
• Analysis (deconstruction of concept)
• Synthesis (combination of information to create meaning)
• Evaluation (judgment of concept
Affective Domain
Affective domain.

The affective domain focuses on the attitudes, values, interests, and

appreciation of learners. The hierarchy associated with it begins with
receiving and listening to information, and extends to
characterization or internalizing values and acting upon them. It
focuses on helping learners understand what their own values are and
how they have developed.
Affective Domain.

The Affective Domain includes five areas of emotional response,

categorized as simple to complex ways of processing feelings and
attitude. Bloom arranged them this way:
• Receiving (passively paying attention)
• Responding (actively learning and reacting)
• Valuing (attaching worth to information)
• Organizing (arranging and elaborating on information)
• Characterizing (valuing belief that influences behavior)
Psychomotor domain
Psychomotor Domain

The psychomotor domain focuses on physical skills such as the

development of hand-eye coordination and the use of motor skills.
Psychomotor skills help people perform physical tasks in daily life and
at work. The areas of this domain include:
• imitation. (Copy)
• Manipulation.(Follow instructions)
• Precision.
• Articulation. (Combine, integrate related skills)
• Naturalization (become an expert)
The importance of learning these domains.

• The domains of learning teach students to think critically by

using methods that make the most sense to them.
• They also give teachers tools to cater the learning experience to
the specific needs of each student.
• By assigning tasks with a learning domain in mind, teachers can
help students understand and retain information based on how
they learn best.
• Each domain of learning has benefits that extend into real-
world situations that students can take into the career they
choose. For example, a student who excels in the psychomotor
domain may perform well as an architect or surgeon.
