Question

I working on an assignment in which i have to write 3 learning objection and an outline using the 3 domains of learning. I have some ideas but would like feedback on which works best as an affective domain and I'm stumped on what to write as an outline for it. please keep in mind I have to "teach" the class my topic- Weight Loss: Healthy ways to alter diet to lose weight and I need a way to evaluate that they learned the lesson.

option one- At the end of the teaching session, students will be able to identify emotional and stress eating habits and discuss ways they can avoid it.

option two- At the end of the teaching session, students will be able to accept their need to lose weight based on their BMI and state ways in which they're willing to incorporate changes into their lifestyle to facilitate weight loss.

if you don't feel either work as an affective objection feel free to suggest something. *please help me figure out what to write as an outline too thanks!

Answer 1

Learning is a process of continual growth and change in the brain's architecture that results from the many ways we take in information, process it, connect it, catalogue it, and use it.

Learning can generally be categorized into three domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.

When writing learning objectives, it is important to think about which domain(s) is relevant to the learning experience you are designing.

The COGNITIVE Domain

The cognitive domain deals with how we acquire, process, and use knowledge. It is the "thinking" domain.

The AFFECTIVE Domain

The affective domain deals with our attitudes, values, and emotions. It is the "valuing" domain.

The PSYCHOMOTOR Domain

The psychomotor domain deals with manual or physical skills. It is the "doing" domain.

When you are teaching a lesson , you are sharing your knowledge with the students. When you want to know if they have learned or understood, cognitive domain must be used to assess the knowledge level.

Cognitive domain includes following components:

Remember - Retrieve relevant knowledge from long-term memory.

When formulating objectives Use words such as Arrange, Cite, Choose, Count, Define, Describe, Duplicate, Identify, Label, List, Locate, Match, Name, Outline, Recall,, Recite, Recognize, Record, Repeat, Restate, Review, Select, State.

Understand - Construct meaning from instructional messages, including oral, written, and graphic communication.
