Learning Domains or Bloom's Taxonomy |
| >>Note: Make judgments about the value of ideas or materials |
| >>Note: Builds a structure or pattern from diverse elements. Put parts together to form a whole, with emphasis on creating a new meaning or structure |
| >>Note: Separates material or concepts into component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood. Distinguishes between facts and inferences |
| >>Note: Use a concept in a new situation or unprompted use of an abstraction. Applies what was learned in the classroom into novel situations in the work place |
| >>Note: Understand the meaning, translation, interpolation, and interpretation of instructions and problems. State a problem in one's own words |
| >>Note: Recall data or information |
| >>Note: Creating new movement patterns to fit a particular situation or specific problem. Learning outcomes emphasize creativity based upon highly developed skills |
| >>Note: The skillful performance of motor acts that involve complex movement patterns. Proficiency is indicated by a quick, accurate, and highly coordinated performance, requiring a minimum of energy. This category includes performing without hesitation, and automatic performance. For example, players are often utter sounds of satisfaction or expletives as soon as they hit a tennis ball or throw a football, because they can tell by the feel of the act what the result will produce |
| >>Note: Skills are well developed and the individual can modify movement patterns to fit special requirements |
| >>Note: The ability to use sensory cues to guide motor activity. This ranges from sensory stimulation, through cue selection, to translation |
| >>Note: The early stages in learning a complex skill that includes imitation and trial and error. Adequacy of performance is achieved by practicing |
| >>Note: This is the intermediate stage in learning a complex skill. Learned responses have become habitual and the movements can be performed with some confidence and proficiency |
| >>Note: Readiness to act. It includes mental, physical, and emotional sets. These three sets are dispositions that predetermine a persons response to different situations (sometimes called mindsets) |

| >>Note: Dave, R. H. (1975). Developing and Writing Behavioural Objectives. (R J Armstrong, ed.) Educational Innovators Press. |
| Internalizing values (characterization) |
| >>Note: Has a value system that controls their behavior. The behavior is pervasive, consistent, predictable, and most importantly, characteristic of the learner. Instructional objectives are concerned with the student's general patterns of adjustment (personal, social, emotional) |
| >>Note: Organizes values into priorities by contrasting different values, resolving conflicts between them, and creating an unique value system. The emphasis is on comparing, relating, and synthesizing values |
| >>Note: The worth or value a person attaches to a particular object, phenomenon, or behavior. This ranges from simple acceptance to the more complex state of commitment. Valuing is based on the internalization of a set of specified values, while clues to these values are expressed in the learners overt behavior and are often identifiable |
| >>Note: Active participation on the part of the learners. Attends and reacts to a particular phenomenon. Learning outcomes may emphasize compliance in responding, willingness to respond, or satisfaction in responding (motivation) |
| >>Note: Awareness, willingness to hear, selected attention |
