Week 6 - Domains of Learning

This week we move into the Design-Evaluation phase of the ADDIE model and discuss the 3 different domains of learning - Cognitive, Affective and Psycho motor.

Cognitive Learning has something to do with your thinking and knowledge. it enhances learner's knowledge.

There are 6 Outcomes in the Cognitive Learning as follows:
1. Knowledge - storing information and fact
2. Comprehension - understanding
3. Application - using what has been learnt previously
4. Analysis - recap
5. Synthesis - gathering all your knowledge
6. Evaluation - assessing what you have learnt and done so far.

Affective Learning is linked with feeling and attitudes, and it changes learner's attitudes.

There are 5 outcomes to Affective Learning.
1. Receiving - paying attention
2. Responding - participating
3. Valuing - accepting values/beliefs
4. Organization - categorize and internalize the values/beliefs
5. Characterization - adoption of values/beliefs

* the first 3 are the most practical to deal with instructions. It deals with the level of willingness of learners to accept what has been taught.

Psychomotor Learning involves doing, thereby, building learner's physical skills.

5 Outcomes to Psychomotor Learning
1. Perception - observations of behavior
2. Set - preparation for action
3. Guided Response - acting on assistance
4. Mechanism - acting without assistance
5. Complex Overt Response - auto pilot with facilitation

The next part about writing objectives involved 4 aspects - Audience, Behaviour, Condition and Degree.

Give an example:
Given the current economic situation (condition), Samsung (audience) is likely to cut down on manpower (behaviour) by up to 30% (degree) to maintain a low cost operation.
