Answer the following questions:

1. Enumerate the different levels in the taxonomy of the affective domain. Discuss each of these levels.
 
Answer: 
 The affective domain is one of three domains in Bloom's Taxonomy, with the other two being
the cognitive and psychomotor (Bloom, et al., 1956). The affective domain (Krathwohl, Bloom,
Masia, 1973) includes the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, such as
feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes. The affective domain has
five major levels. These are recieving, responding, valuing, organizing and characterizing.
 
2. What is an "attitude"? Why is the study of attitude important? How will understanding of attitudes
and predisposition enhance teaching?

Answer: 
 The term 'attitude' refers to an individual's mental state, which is based on his beliefs and
principles, emotions and the tendency to act in a certain way. One's attitude reflects how one
thinks, feels, and behaves in a given situation. According to Winston Churchil "Attitude is a little
thing that makes a big difference." Our attitude shows how we respond to such specific situation
that may give a negative or positive impact to others. It is indeed essential to study attitude
because attitude can be positive or negative. As an individual who promotes peace and
solidarity it is important to acquire and practice positive attitude towards people, situation and
communication. As a teacher, you must remain positive and strong-willed. 
 
3. What is "motivation"? Discuss the need theories on motivation: Maslow, Herzberg and ERG theories.
 
Answer:
 The simplest definition of motivation boils down to wanting (Baumeister, 2016). We want a
change in behavior, thoughts, feelings, self-concept, environment, and relationships. One of the
top common theories of motivation are Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory, Herzberg's Motivation
Hygiene Theory and ERG theories.
 
4. Why are the needs" as presented by Maslow arranged in a hierarchy? What is meant by hierarchy of
needs?
 
Answer:
 Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory presented in hierarchical manner because he believed that
once a given level of need is satisfied, it no longer serves to motivate man. Then, the next higher
level of need has to be activated in order to motivate a man. The hierarchy of needs is meant to
show classification of all human needs from lower to higher order in this way we will be able to
understand how every need were met. 
 
5. The phrase: "Motivation-Hygiene" is often used to describe Herzberg's two-factor theory.  What are
hygiene factors? Why are they important in the educative process?

Answer:
 The phrase "Motivation-Hygiene" is often use to describe Herzberg's two-factor theory because
it groups motivators into these two categories, hygiene and growth. The theory emphasizes the
importance of these two motivators.

6. What is “self-efficacy”? How does this concept figure in the educational domain for each of the levels
in the taxonomy of Krathwohl et.al. Assume that you are teaching a subject in your field of specialization

Answer:
 Self-efficacy is a personal belief in one's capability to organize and execute courses of action
required to attain designated types of performances. It is often described as task-specific self-
confidence and has been a key component in theories of motivation and learning.
