So, we learnt the 3 domains of learning in Lecture.
1. Cognitive. Cognitive, as the term implies, refers to the knowing and thinking components of learning. It seeks to increase learners’ knowledge through learning concepts and facts, remembering and understanding these knowledge and applying them when required.For example, students are taught the mathematical formulae of finding the areas of a square and rectangle. To solve a mathematical problem on finding the area of a solid made up of a reactangle and square, the student has to combine both the formulae for the square and rectangle to correctly solve the problem.
2. Affective.Affective learning focuses on the learner’s attitudes and feelings. It concentrates on changing the learners’ attitudes.For example, the Singapore government tried to get the local population to understand that Global Warming is a serious problem and that every Singaporean has to do his or her best to save the Earth. There was a campaign and advertisements on television showing people how they could do their part by saving electricity and avoiding usage of plastic bags.Supermarkets too jumped the bandwagon and started charging for plastic bags.All these were efforts made to change Singaporeans' mindset and attitudes. By making Singaporeans participate in such efforts,the government hopes to change the mindset of the population. This is called Affective Learning.
3. Psychomotor.
Psychomotor implies the doing component of learning. It refers to building up the learners’ physical skills.For example, cheerleaders in a team will have to go through hours and hours of practice in order to perfect their steps and ensure that every single step is immaculate and coordinated.
