Krathwohl, Bloom, and Masia (1964) describe five levels of learning in the affective domain. Hauenstein (1998) redefines the highest two levels, but otherwise follows the original taxonomy.
At the receiving level, the learner simply attends to and becomes aware of value, belief, or attitude. He or she may listen to someone express an attitude on an issue, attend an art exhibit, or listen to a selection of music. No change takes place, but the student willingly receives and considers the attitude or belief.
I will go on a walking tour of the old section of Montreal in order to observe architectural styles.
We will listen to Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No.1
The group will read two poems by Sylvia plath.
At this lowest level, there need not be any response. The students are exposed to something that may, as learning goes on, change their values or beliefs.
At the responding level of the affective domain, students “actively” attend to others values, opinions, or beliefs. They respond in either a positive or negative manner-they express an opinion on the issue.
Students will enjoy and express enjoyment of tennis during their lessons.
While reading this book, you will become interested in how instructional design can be used in adult education and talk about it with your colleagues.
