Benjamin Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains (Cognitive, Affective, Psychomotor)

Bloom’s Taxonomy provides important knowledge about how individuals learn, which in turn have affects on how facilitators teach and the instructional strategies selected (Stavredes, 2011). Mary

Initially, 'Bloom's Taxonomy' was created within an academic context, (the development begins in 1948), when Bloom chaired a working group of educational psychologists, based in American education. The plan was to grow a system of categories of learning behavior to support the design and consideration and to assess educational learning (Knowles, Holton & Swanson, 2012). Mary

Moreover, the idea of domain of multimedia learning includes theorist Benjamin Bloom and his associates’ three domains of educational objectives. First is cognitive (“which deal with the recall of recognition of knowledge and the development of intellectual abilities of skills”) (Knowles, Holton & Swanson, 2012, pp. 15-16). Second entails affective (“which describe the changes in interest, attitude, and values, and the development of appreciations and adequate adjustment” (Knowles, Holton & Swanson. 2012, pp. 15-16). Third is psychomotor, “which include all the human senses and their domain” (Knowles, Holton & Swanson. 2012, p. 16). Mary
