That answer indicates a general lack of knowledge about one of the most basic pedagogical principles in education. The framework consisted of six major categories: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation.
The figures accompanying this article reflect that work. About ninety percent of the questions students handle in any class are memory questions.
The memory level is perfectly respectable and even essential in many learning situations. There are, however, disadvantages in using pure memory that an instructor should keep in mind.
The memory level is a tool that promotes the use of short term memory, and the information may be forgotten if it is not used.
Another problem with the memory level is that it does not guarantee understanding. That is simply not the case. By moving up the scale to teaching that involves students understanding, applying, and analyzing information, their learning outcomes will improve. That is not likely to happen, though, without some thoughtful preparation.
In instructional design, questioning strategies can be as simple as the intentional progression of questions leading to higher levels of thinking and involvement. In education, learning objectives are brief statements that describe what students will be expected to learn by the end of a course, unit, or class period.
Instructors can benefit from using a framework to construct and organize learning objectives for themselves and for students. Having an organized set of learning objectives helps instructors plan and deliver appropriate instruction, design valid assessment tasks and strategies, and ensure that instruction and assessment are aligned with the objectives. Students should be able to:.
In-class questioning can be varied from the most simple to those that require more thought. A learning objective written using action verbs will indicate the best method of assessing the skills and knowledge taught. This shortcoming must be considered by educators if health professionals are to achieve increasing levels of skill and function. Nancy E. Adams, MLIS, ude.

In examining the three domains of learning it is interesting to note that while the cognitive taxonomy was described in , and the affective in , the psychomotor domain was not fully described until the s.
And while I have chosen to use the work of Anita Harrow here, there are actually two other psychomotor taxonomies to choose from — one from E.
Simpson and the other from R. Dave See full citations and hyperlink below. As stated earlier, to avoid confusion, if the activity is simply something that is physical which supports another area — affective or cognitive — term the objective physical rather than psychomotor. Again, this goes to instructional intent. A primary example of something physical which supports specific cognitive development and skills might be looking through a microscope, and then identifying and drawing cells.
Here the instructional intent of this common scientific activity is not to develop specific skilled proficiency in microscope viewing or in reproducing cells through drawing. Usually the key intent in this activity is that a physical action supports or is a vehicle for cognitive growth and furthering recognition skills. The learner is using the physical action to achieve the cognitive objectives — identify, recognize, and differentiate varied types of cells.
If you are using a physical activity to support a cognitive or affective function, simply label it as something physical labeling the objective as kinesthetic, haptic, or tactile is also acceptable and avoid the term psychomotor.
Certainly more complex learning objectives can be written so that they that meld 2 or 3 domains. For instance, students can gain appreciation an affective objective for the culture or country of origin through conducting investigations or listening to stories while learning the dances from other countries. Objectives at this level include reflexes that involve one segmental or reflexes of the spine and movements that may involve more than one segmented portion of the spine as intersegmental reflexes e.
These movements are involuntary being either present at birth or emerging through maturation. Objectives in this area refer to skills or movements or behaviors related to walking, running, jumping, pushing, pulling and manipulating.
They are often components for more complex actions. Objectives in this area should address skills related to kinesthetic bodily movements , visual, auditory, tactile touch , or coordination abilities as they are related to the ability to take in information from the environment and react.
Objectives in this area should be related to endurance, flexibility, agility, strength, reaction-response time or dexterity. Objectives in this area refer to skills and movements that must be learned for games, sports, dances, performances, or for the arts. These movements refer to interpretative movements that communicate meaning without the aid of verbal commands or help. The following page and PPT AGO2 illustrate how you can use all three domains to create more holistic learning experiences.
The following plans were created by my undergraduate students between Even if they are not in a subject area you are interested in, the format can serve as a prototype.
