Many faculties aspire to helping students develop affective skills. In this seminar, Krathwohl’s Taxonomy for the Affective Domain (please see attached) will be introduced and the link between it and Bloom’s Taxonomy for the Cognitive Domain will be discussed. Strategies for assessing affective learning outcomes will also be shared. The seminar aims to:
- identify the levels of Krathwohl’s Taxonomy for the Affective Domain;
- explain the relationship between the affective and cognitive domains;
- give examples of the ways that affective learning outcomes can be assessed.
