Taxonomy of Educational Objectives

The Taxonomy of Educational Objectives is a framework for organizing learning goals, often categorized into three main domains: cognitive (thinking), affective (feeling), and psychomotor (doing). In the context of general knowledge, it helps educators define what they aim to achieve, such as fostering critical thinking, encouraging positive attitudes, or developing practical skills. Each domain is further divided into levels, ranging from basic understanding to higher-order skills, guiding teaching methods and assessments to ensure comprehensive learning that equips individuals to think critically, feel empathetically, and act effectively in various contexts.
