Bloom's Taxonomy

     The Bloom's taxonomy, what do we really know of this? Well for one thing we know is that Benjamin Bloom found out about this and he identified 3 learning domains, the cognitive, affective and pyschomotor Domains.

     The first domain he identifiedwas the cognitive learning domain in 1956. This domain includes everything you know in your head, like what you know or what you want to know. Cognitive domain has six categories.

• Knowledge
• Comprehension
• Application
• Analysis is
• Keywords
• Synthesis
• Evaluation

     The second domain he identified was the Affective learning domain in 1973. This domains talks about how we handle things. The feeling we have towards everything around us and how it affects us. This domains includes 5 categories.

• Receiving Phenomena
• Responding to Phenomena
• Valuing
• Organization
• Internalizing values

  The last domain he identified was the psychomotor learning domain in 1972. It's more of a hands on learning domain. You build up your skills and learn by doing the work physically instead of watching and taking notes, well something sort of like that. There are 7 categories that fall under this domain,

• Perception
• Set
• Guided Response
• Mechanism
• Complex of Overt Response
• Adaptation
• Origination

Recall an activity in class..
     Well, I think the class I would have to say is Mr. Adsit from chemistry because he gives our class a lot of work. He gives us a homework to do at home, like taking down notes or worksheets and then he gives us a warm up every morning that relates to what we did last night. I think it is a cognitive learning domain technique because he is testing what we should know and he really tries to make us link it together with something we already know to help us remember it better.
     Also, another lesson in chemistry class are the lab works he give us. Its more of a hands on thing and its really fun. I think that falls under the pyschomotor learning domain, because we really get to grasp the idea of the lesson physically instead of just sitting there and listening to him talk all day.
