The organization level of the affective domain is distinguished from the lower levels by existence of several values, beliefs, or attitudes, and exploration of the relationships among them.
The fifth and highest level in the affective domain is characterization by a value, according to Krathwohl et al. (1964) Students have assimilated a belief of value system to suck a extent that they are characterized by that value- “She is a feminist;” “He is a scholar of German history” The values become integral to a person’s worldview or philosophy. Hauenstein(1998) calls this level behaving, defining it as a “disposition to demonstrate and modify a behavior in accord with a value or belief” (p.77) It reflects a habit of mind.
I will dedicate my life to the study of music
Students in this program will become caring professional educators.
I will leave my current position and become an entrepreneur.
It is not that often that we develop objectives at this level for others, except as program goals. When a person already had a great interest in and commitment to a field, she may set such goals for herself.
Psychomotor Domain
In the psychomotor domain, various organizational schemes have been developed, some hierarchical and others categorical. Kibler, Barker, and Miles (1970) describe four categories of psychomotor learning: gross body movements (running, jumping); finely coordinated movements (driving a car, operating a lathe); non-verbal communication (mime, facial expression); and speech (pronunciation of sounds). Simpson’s (1966) taxonomy is more hierarchical in nature. The objectives at the lower levels are simpler and generally need to be learned before the higher levels.
Hauenstein (1998) is critical of Simpson’s and others work in that the taxonomies have tended to emphasize the motor rather than the “psycho” components of psychomotor learning. He reminds us that taxonomies in general should be useful and relevant in the teaching and learning process and should be totally inclusive
