week 6: lecture on domains of learning and writing learning objectives

In this lecture,

we learnt about the 3 different domains of learning.

1. the cognitive (to increase one's knowledge)

2. the affective (feelings and attitudes to change attitude)

3. psychomotor (the actual doing: physical skills)

We also learnt that goals must be specific instead of vague/fuzzy.

attitudes and ideologies tend not be stated as goal objectives because there is no way to measure attitudes, neither is there any benchmark for such objectives.

There are 7 levels of cognitive outcomes,

namely knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis. synthesis and evaluation.

(these ranges from the lowest to the highest level of cognitivism)

There are 5 levels of affective outcomes,

ranging from receiving, responding, valuing, organising and characterising.

Lastly, the outcomes for psychomotor learning.

It comprises of perception, set, guided responses, mechanism and complex overt response.

Action verbs are often used to describe these affective outcomes.

But very often, psychomotor learning activities cannot be held through e-learning due to the limited user movements.
