Three learning abilities in education

Hello there, welcome to my blog once again, I hope you find this point interesting.....

The three learning abilities in education are;

• The cognitive domain which I will talk about today
• The affective domain and
• The psychomotor domain

So for today, I'll talk about the first domain which is the cognitive domain.

The cognitive domain (intellectual process)
The cognitive domain includes this educational objectives which deal with the recall or recognition of knowledge and the development of intellectual abilities and skills.
The following six major classes are identified starting from the highest level of cognition

Knowledge: This involves the elementary skill of recalling or remembering specific information or experiences. The information recalled may include specific pieces of information, terminology and facts; ways and means if dealing with specific conventions, trends and sequencies, classifications, criteria and methodology; knowledge of universals, principles and generalizations as well as theories and structures.

Comprehension: This is defined as the ability to grasp the meaning of materials. This may be shown by translating material from one form to another, by interpreting materials and by estimating future trends.

Application: It refers to the ability to use learned materials in new concrete situations. This may include the application of such things as rules, methods, concepts, principles, laws and theories.

Analysis: This involves the breaking down, or the separation of a whole into it's components parts. It is a process of reasoning or thinking. In its simple form, analysis includes a simple listing elements. A higher level of analysis involves determining the nature of the relationship between these elements. The highest form of analysis includes identifying the organization principle(s) behind the actual material or phenomenon concerned.

Synthesis: This is the ability to put parts together to form a new whole. This may involve the production of a unique combination, a plan of operations or a set of abstract relations.

Evaluation: This is necessary as a standard against which things can be measured. The evaluation can be quantitative or qualitative, direct or indirect, subjective or objective. Usually, judgements are made in terms of internal or external evidence.
