Taxanomy of learning Objective

The original Bloom’s taxonomy was conceptualized in 1956 with Dr. Benjamin
Bloom as the leader. For him, there are three types of learning domains: cognitive,
affective, and psychomotor. Domains are also known as categories of learning. In 2001,
Bloom’s former student, Lorin Anderson, reviewed the domains and made some
modifications in the cognitive domain.

The Committee identified three domains of educational activities learnig (Bloom, 1956)

1. Cognitive: Mental Skills (Knowledge)

The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of

intellectual skills (Bloom, 1956). This includes the recall or recognition of
specific facts, procedural patterns, and concepts that serve in the
development of intellectual abilities and skills. There are six major categ ories
of cognitive an processes, starting from the simplest to the most complex

 2. Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (attitude or self)

The affective domain is one of three domains in Bloom's Taxonomy, with the
other two being the cognitive and psychomotor (Bloom, et al., 1956). For an
overview of the three domains, see the introduction. The affective domain
(Krathwohl, Bloom, Masia, 1973) includes the manner in which we deal with
things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation,
enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes.

 3. Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (skills)

The psychomotor domain (Simpson, 1972) 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. Thus, psychomotor skills rage from
manual tasks, such as digging a ditch or washing a car, to more complex tasks,
such as operating a complex piece of machinery or dancing.
