We are also interested in students’ attitudes toward science, scientist, learning science and specific

science topic. We want to find teaching methods that encourage students.


Affective topics in educational literature include attitudes, motivation, communication styles, classroom
management styles, learning styles, use of technology in the classroom and non verbal communication,
interests, predesposition and self-efficacy. As teachers, we need to be careful about our own actions
that may negatively impatct on students’ attitudes which go straight into the affective domain.

The affective domain is the least studied and most often overlooked domain in educational literature
despite the fact that almost every researcher or author begins with premise on the importance of the
affective domain in the teaching learning process. The reason, perhaps, is the fact that the affective
domain is the most nebulous and the hardest to evaluate of bloom’s three domains. However, it is
important to realized that by tapping the potentials of the affective domain in enhancing learning, we
increase the likelihood of real and authentic learning among our students’.

4.2 Affective Learning Competencies


Affective desired learning competencies are often stated in the form of instructional objectives. What
then are instructional objectives?
 Instructional objectives are specific, measurable, short-term, observable student behaviors.
 Objectives are the foundation upon which you can build lessons and assessments that you can
prove meet your overall course or lesson goals.
 Think of objectives as tools you use to make sure you reach your goals.
 The purpose of objective is not to restrict spontaneity or constrain the vision of education in the
discipline; but to ensure that learning is focused clearly enough that both students and teacher
know what is going on , and so learning can be objectively measured. Different archers have
different styles, so do different teachers. The important thing is that they reach your target and
score that bullseye.

We have reproduced the taxonomy of educational objectives in the affective domain below as adopted
from Krathwohl.
