LEARNING EPISODE 3 – THE THREE DOMAINS OF KNOWLEDGE/LEARNING

ACTIVITIES

My Learning Episode Overview


Benjamin Bloom cited three (3) domains of knowledge - cognitive, psychomotor and affective. Kendall
and Marzano also gave three (3) groups of learning - information (declarative knowledge), metacognitive
procedures (procedural knowledge) and psychomotor procedures (motor or physical skills). This Episode
will focus on these domains of knowledge and learning.

My Intended Learning Outcomes


In this Episode, I must be able to:

 classify the lesson/s under Bloom's taxonomy of knowledge and Kendall's and Marzano's domain
of learning activities.
 reflect on what lesson is more meaningful and relevant based on the domains of knowledge and
learning activities

My Performance Criteria

a. quality of my observations and documentation,
b. completeness and depth of my analysis,
c. depth and clarity of my classroom observation-based reflections,
d. completeness, organization, clarity of my portfolio and
e. time of submission of my portfolio.

My Learning Essentials

A. Three domains of knowledge (Kendall and Marzano):

1. Information - Declarative Knowledge; eg. Facts, concepts, generalizations, principles, laws

2. Mental Procedures - Procedural Knowledge; e.g. writing a term paper, reading map algorithms like
computing long division

3. Psychomotor/Physical Procedures /Motor skills - Skills e.g. playing basketball, building furniture

Concrete examples:

Information:
1. Vocabulary - isosceles, equilateral, right triangle
2. Generalization - All right triangles have one angle of 90 degrees.

Mental Procedures - Conducting proofs and figuring the length of the side of a right triangle

Physical/Psychomotor Procedures / Motor skills


Constructing a right triangle with a compass and a ruler

B. Three Domains of Knowledge/Educational Activity (Bloom, B.)

1. Cognitive knowledge - What will students know?


2. Psychomotor skills - What will students be able to do?
3. Affective - values, attitudes - What will students value or care about?

Concrete examples

Cognitive - Air pollution


Psychomotor - Researching on the level of air pollution in the locality and the causes of air pollution
Affective - What to do to reduce the level of air pollution

Kendall's and Marrzano's Domains of Knowledge

Concrete Example/s for each Domain of Knowledge


Domain of Knowledge from my Observation (What did your Teacher teach?
What was the focus of your Teacher's lessons?)
1. Cognitive Domain - Information Teacher Jessica recalled their past lesson, which was
(Declarative Knowledge) - Vocabulary, terms, all about "Go, Grow and Glow Foods." She asked her
facts, concepts, principle, hypothesis, theory students what the three types of nutritious foods and
their examples are. She then explained what these
types of food are. She provided the meaning of each
type of food through an online visual display. She also
provided examples of each different type of food.

2. Mental Procedures (Procedural Knowledge) Teacher Jessica let her students give an example of
- e.g. mental skills such as writing a paragraph go, grow and glow foods. She also prepared an
activity wherein she showed some pictures of foods.
Students have to identify whether it is a go, grow, or
glow food.

FIELD STUDY 2 – EXPERIENCING THE TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS


3. Psychomotor – skills Teacher Jessica conducted an individual activity
wherein they will get their Science book and will
answer their activity sheet about their lesson.

The students are raising their hands to answer.

4. Affective -values, attitudes As a summary, Teacher Jessica asked her students,


:What are the importance of eating go, grow and glow
foods?” And students answered, “They are very
important to make and keep our body healthy”. Some
said, “For us not to be sick.”

Kendall's and Marrzano's Domains of Knowledge

Concrete Example/s for each Domain of Knowledge


Domain of Knowledge from my Observation (What did your Teacher teach?
What was the focus of your Teacher's lessons?)
1. Cognitive Domain - Information
(Declarative Knowledge) - Vocabulary, terms, Teacher Joy asked her students about their past lesson,
facts, concepts, principle, hypothesis, theory which is about “Skip Counting by 2’s”. Moving
forward, their lesson that day is “Skip Counting by
5’s”. She explained to her students how to skip count
by 5’s. With the same method and strategy, she
discussed that they would keep adding the same
number each time to the previous number.

2. Mental Procedures (Procedural Knowledge)


- e.g. mental skills such as writing a paragraph Teacher Joy used blocks for the students to quickly
understand the lesson. Then, she let her pupils answer
the missing number with regards to skip counting by
5’s. She allowed her students to use their strategy and
conceptualize what number should be next by skip
counting.

3. Psychomotor – skills As per my observation, Teacher Joy asked her pupils


to bring out their math book, and they will answer an
FIELD STUDY 2 – EXPERIENCING THE TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS
activity regarding their lesson. Grade 1 pupils
presented their output and raised their hands whenever
Teacher Joy called their name to answer.

4. Affective -values, attitudes


In summary, the pupils are now able to find the
following number on skip counting by 5’s. They can
now determine whether the arrangement of numbers is
skipping counting by five or not. They already learn
that to skip count in fives, they will just add five to get
to the next number.

School: Woodfield Academy of Bataan Grade/Year Level: Grade 2 Subject Area: ___________

Kendall's and Marrzano's Domains of Knowledge

Concrete Example/s for each Domain of Knowledge


Domain of Knowledge from my Observation (What did your Teacher teach?
What was the focus of your Teacher's lessons?)
1. Cognitive Domain - Information
(Declarative Knowledge) - Vocabulary, terms, Teacher Julie made a recall to their past lesson. She
facts, concepts, principle, hypothesis, theory asked her pupils about what is a singular noun. One of
her students answered that singular noun is a noun that
is only one. Teacher Julie showed some picture of a
noun or a thing that has a label in a singular form on
it. Then her students read it aloud.

2. Mental Procedures (Procedural Knowledge)


- e.g. mental skills such as writing a paragraph Teacher Julie then showed pictures of things that are
two or more. The pupils identify that these are so
called plural nouns. Teacher Julie asked her students
what do they mean when we say plural noun. Then her
pupils answered that these are the nouns that are two
or more. She introduced their new lesson which is all
about “Plural Nouns”. She discussed the rule no.1 in
making noun a plural form by adding s.

FIELD STUDY 2 – EXPERIENCING THE TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS


3. Psychomotor – skills
Using the online learning platform that they are using,
pupils answered a short activity about it by the means
of utilizing interactive whiteboard in Peardeck. The
pupils are very engaged and eager to answer.

4. Affective -values, attitudes Teacher Julie asked her students about the importance
of knowing how to form plural nouns. One of her
pupils answered, “It's important to learn how to
form plural nouns because in this world, there is
never a single thing of something.” Now they can
easily apply the rules of plural form whenever
they will construct or will tell a noun that are two
or more.

FIELD STUDY 2 – EXPERIENCING THE TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS


My Analysis

1. Were the lessons focused on information/ cognitive domain only or mental procedures only or
psychomotor procedures/physical skills only? Or were the lessons combinations of two or three?
Explain your answer.
The focus of the lessons is on the three key learning domains. The teacher used a variety of
techniques to get the students' attention. The teachers discussed the three domains of cognition and how
they presented the subject matter to the students. After the teachers finished the lesson, they asked the
pupils a question in the affective domain. They inquired about the significance or function of the purpose
for which the students engaged in the topic. There are a few exercises that will support the students'
learning that is followed in support of the psychomotor domains. All the domain are evident in their
presentation.

2. Were the lessons focused on cognitive tent only or psychomotor content only or affective content
only? Or were the lessons combinations of two or three? Explain your answer.
The lecture contains three domains, one of which is the cognitive element, in which she
introduces the subject matter. Affective domains are where the teacher inquires about the significance or
function of something and how they would impart it in their real-life settings, which is also incorporated
in the lesson plan. The teacher also demonstrates the psychomotor component by involving the students
in an exercise in which they can apply their knowledge to specific activities.

3. What was the effect on learning when teaching was focused on only one domain?
Because three domains affect a learner's cognitive skills, a lesson should include all three
domains of learning. When teaching is solely focused on one domain, there is a possibility that students
will not understand the lesson and that all stages of learning will be missed. As a result, the students are
unable to develop the higher-order thinking skills required to continue their schooling. It would also make
instruction less effective and meaningful. In summary, it will be a "boring" class for pupils, and the worst
case scenario is that they will not pay attention at all.

4. Is it really possible to teach only in one domain like affective only or cognitive only or
psychomotor only? Or based on Kendall's and Marzano's taxonomy, information only or mental
procedures only or psychomotor procedures only? Explain your answer.
Yes, however the concept was not as effective as it could have been in terms of allowing pupils to
forget about the subject matter because there is a link between all of the domains that pass through each
learner's mind. Before beginning the lesson, a teacher must follow a set of guidelines or procedures.
Remember the guiding principles for lesson objectives in our which is the guiding star of the teacher in
FIELD STUDY 2 – EXPERIENCING THE TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS
her lesson in Episode 2, it is mentioned that "for meaningful teaching and learning, lesson objectives must
be integrated with three domains" (cognitive, psychomotor and affective). The three-domain lesson will
be effective, meaningful, and relevant in improving a learner's thinking skills. Every domain played an
important part in preparing students for each step of their education and their lives. If only one area is
covered in a single lesson, a child's entire skill set may be compromised.

5. Do Kendall's and Marzano'a knowledge taxonomy and Bloom's taxonomy of learning activities
contradict each other? Explain your answer.
No. Bloom's and Marzano's have a lot in common. Their language is nearly identical. Bloom
employs nouns to demonstrate levels of learning, whereas Marzano uses verb forms. The categories of
Marzano do not build on one another.- Bloom's Taxonomy was designed as a framework for instructors to
employ in order to focus on higher-order thinking. Marzano's theory is more research-based, and it can
assist teachers in enhancing their students' thinking skills. These taxonomies do certainly aid in the
development of high-quality learners. They differ in certain ways, but when I examine them more closely,
I see that they share the purpose of ensuring that the child learns throughout all domains.

My Reflections/Insights

Based on your observations in class and on your understanding of the domains of knowledge and learning
activities from Bloom, Kendall and Marzano, how can you make your teaching-learning activity more
meaningful and more relevant? Is lesson more relevant when you teach only in the cognitive or when you
teach in the cognitive domain combined with the affective or psychomotor combined with the affective?

According to my findings, in order to produce a more meaningful and relevant teaching-learning


activity, a teacher should use a combination of domains of knowledge and learning. Students would be
more interested in learning and cooperating in the classroom if this were done. In addition, the teacher can
involve his or her students in lesson-related activities in this manner. Learning should come not only from
teachers but also from pupils. When students can connect their learning to their daily lives, it becomes
more comprehensive and productive.

The three domains have been quite helpful to me as a potential teacher in making classes relevant
and meaningful. These areas will ensure my student's mental capacity to learn and develop a solid
performance. I can readily tell if students are learning from the class based on these three domains. It
improves their ability to accomplish tasks in class.

The teacher asked them if have they’ve been to a zoo and what
kind of animals they usually see in a zoo.

Student/s stated generalizations.

Teacher Jessica prepared an online tour in a zoo through


watching video entitled, “Phoenix Zoo”. She then let her
students write down all the animals mentioned in a video.

Student's identified factual/logical errors.

Students find out the positive side or the results if people are
taking care of animals in a zoo and negative results if people
don’t have the care for animals in a zoo.

Student/s did classifying.

The pupils are able to classify between the positive and


negative aspects/results of not caring for or not caring for the
animals in a zoo.

animals in a zoo even on their own little ways like feeding
them, listening to the information about it and importantly,
gaining knowledge from a zoo experience. Through that, they
can make a difference to help save wildlife.
5. Meta-cognitive system Students specified their learning goals.

Teacher Jessica helped the students comprehend the lesson


instead of specifying it to them. As with the problem, she
offered a step-by-step approach for students to follow in order
to arrive at the proper solution and thereby accomplish the

FIELD STUDY 2 – EXPERIENCING THE TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS


My Analysis

6. Were all Bloom's levels of processing information demonstrated by the learners in class? Why or
why not?
Yes, all of this is demonstrated by the students in class, as I observed the teacher using it as a
medium of instruction to help her students learn.

7. Which levels of processing cognitive information in Bloom's taxonomy was most displayed? least
demonstrated? Give proofs.
The most displayed level of processing information was applying. teacher Julie emphasized to her
learners the insights or the moral lesson of the story they read. She asked them on how these life lessons
from the story be applied to their real life. In that way, teacher Julie can help her learners form the very
core of their being and at an early age, they can build their positive character.

8. Were all of Kendall's and Marzano's levels of processing of information, mental and physical
procedures demonstrated by the learners in class? Why or why not?
Not all, particularly at the metacognitive and self-system levels of information processing. They
were not well observed. Although the teacher had a role in monitoring the class and assisting them in
comprehending the lesson, we cannot ensure that the learning is retained by the pupils unless and until
there is an assessment to determine whether to continue with the behavior or engage in a new activity.

9. Which levels of Kendall's and Marzano's processing information was most demonstrated? least
demonstrated? Give proof.
Retrieval was the most evident process, since all of the classes I watched engaged in lesson recall.
The teacher will always ask about their topic discussion last meeting at the start of class. The least
displayed were metacognitive and self-system abilities, which are frequently overlooked in classrooms.

10. Are Bloom's cognitive taxonomy of learning activities (cognitive, affective and psychomotor)
very different from the new taxonomy of Kendall and Marzane (informative, metacognitive
procedures and psychomotor)? Explain your answer.
No. Bloom's and Marzano's are quite close. Their language is nearly same. Bloom's hierarchy of
learning use nouns, whereas Marzano's hierarchy of learning employs verb forms. Marzano's categories
FIELD STUDY 2 – EXPERIENCING THE TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS
are self-contained. When Bloom's theory was developed, it was intended to provide teachers with a
framework for focusing on higher order thinking. Marzano's approach is more research-based and aims to
assist teachers in improving their students' thinking.

My Reflections/Insights

Analysing the levels of processing that were demonstrated by students in the classes that you
observed, what conclusion can you draw regarding the level of processing of information that takes place
in schools? (Are all the higher levels of processing information done in classrooms? Or are classrooms
limited mostly to the lower levels of information processing such as remembering or retrieval?)
Bloom's hierarchy of processing was primarily discussed in class. I can tell that the teacher is
adjusting her activities to the student's processing level. Additionally, she has the capacity to encourage
and focus the learners' attention on the class. Additionally, I can see that she is making a concerted effort
to keep the lesson interesting and enjoyable. I discovered that, based on my observations, the majority of
teachers in classes focus exclusively on the lower stages of information processing, such as remembering
and comprehension. There are a handful who truly exerted effort to impose learning on students, but none
who exerted sufficient effort to enable students to complete all assigned tasks.

Write your reflections on the level of information processing among students in class. Does
teacher contribute to the level of processing that students do in school? If students are engaged only in
low level information processing, can teacher be blamed for such?
Yes, teachers are to blame since they are the key influencers in the classroom and the degree of
information processing must begin there because they are the primary source of knowledge. The teacher
encourages the students to think about what they do at home and define it as a positively or negatively
act. She offered a variety of scenarios that are extremely familiar to all students and are tailored to their
cognitive abilities. Creating is the least utilized stage of cognitive information processing. She's more of a
remembering type of person. Regarding Kendall and Marzano's levels of information processing, I
believe the majority of it is given and used in class. The teacher is assisting the students in making
judgments and has offered scenarios that are quite typical in each student's daily life. When children are
engaged in what they are doing and have a say in what they are learning, they learn more effectively.
Teachers can provide students more control over their education and a higher degree of information
processing by employing these varied tactics.
