Bloom's Taxonomy (Affective Domain) - Simplest Explanation Ever

Summary

This tutorial video explores the affective domain of Bloom's Taxonomy, focusing on how emotions and values are integrated into learning. It contrasts with the cognitive version, emphasizing emotional responses to knowledge. The affective taxonomy is hierarchical, starting with 'receiving' and progressing to 'characterization by value set'. The video provides examples for each level, from basic attention to internalizing values that guide behavior, illustrating how learners can deeply engage with and be transformed by educational content.

Q & A

What is the main focus of the effective version of Bloom's Taxonomy?

The effective version of Bloom's Taxonomy focuses on how we deal with things emotionally, studying emotions like feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasm, motivation, and attitudes.

How does the effective version differ from the cognitive version of Bloom's Taxonomy?

While both are hierarchical and represented as triangles, the effective version deals with emotional responses to knowledge, whereas the cognitive version focuses on the intellectual processes involved in learning.

What are the levels of the effective version of Bloom's Taxonomy?

The levels are receiving, responding, valuing, organizing, and characterization (or characterization by value set).

What does the first level, 'receiving,' entail in the effective version of Bloom's Taxonomy?

At the receiving level, learners are expected to attend the learning session, be aware of the knowledge being imparted, and be willing to listen or receive the knowledge.

Can you provide an example of what a learner might do at the 'responding' level?

At the responding level, learners would actively participate in a group discussion, contribute to it, and possibly give a presentation, showing they are not just receiving information but also responding to it.

How is the 'valuing' level different from the previous levels?

The valuing level is where learners attach value to the knowledge, associate with the topic, and demonstrate commitment to certain values, indicating that the knowledge is being emotionally internalized.

What does it mean for a learner to reach the 'organizing' level?

At the organizing level, learners prioritize different values, resolve conflicts arising from them, and may emphasize these priorities to others, showing a deeper integration of the values into their thought processes.

What is the ultimate goal for a learner at the 'characterization' level?

At the characterization level, learners internalize the values to the point where they control their behavior, making their actions predictable and consistent with the values they have learned.

How can one remember the levels of the effective version of Bloom's Taxonomy?

One can remember the levels by associating each level with a verb: accept (receiving), respond (responding), value (valuing), organize (organizing), and characterize (characterization).

What is the significance of reaching the highest level of the effective version of Bloom's Taxonomy?

Reaching the highest level, characterization, signifies that the learner has fully integrated the knowledge into their value system and lifestyle, which is often the goal of effective learning and teaching.

Is there a plan to cover other aspects of Bloom's Taxonomy on the channel?

Yes, the speaker mentions that the psychomotor aspect of Bloom's Taxonomy will be covered in subsequent videos on the channel.

🌟 Introduction to the Affective Domain of Bloom's Taxonomy

The video begins with an introduction to the affective domain of Bloom's Taxonomy, which focuses on the emotional aspects of learning. The speaker contrasts this with the cognitive domain, which they have previously covered. Both versions of the taxonomy are hierarchical and represented as triangles, with basic levels at the bottom and more advanced levels at the top. The speaker emphasizes that each level in the taxonomy builds upon the previous one. The affective domain specifically deals with emotions, values, appreciation, enthusiasm, motivation, and attitudes. The speaker then introduces the levels of the affective taxonomy: receiving, responding, valuing, organizing, and characterization by value set. They explain that learners progress from receiving knowledge to internalizing it and letting it shape their character.

📚 Deep Dive into the Levels of Affective Bloom's Taxonomy

In this segment, the speaker delves deeper into each level of the affective Bloom's Taxonomy. 'Receiving' is the most basic level where learners are expected to be attentive and receptive to new information. 'Responding' is the next level where learners actively engage with the material, showing willingness to participate and react. 'Valuing' is where learners attach importance to the information, integrating it into their value system and demonstrating commitment. 'Organizing' is an advanced level where learners prioritize values and resolve conflicts between them, often advocating for these values to others. Finally, 'Characterization' is the highest level where learners internalize the values to the point where they guide their behavior. The speaker uses examples such as group discussions and social changes to illustrate these levels.

🔑 Memorizing and Applying the Affective Bloom's Taxonomy

The final paragraph provides a method for memorizing the levels of the affective Bloom's Taxonomy. The speaker suggests remembering the progression from receiving to responding, valuing, organizing, and characterization as a journey of accepting, actively participating in, valuing, organizing, and internalizing knowledge. They use the analogy of multi-level marketing to illustrate how individuals can be deeply invested in a value set, to the point where it characterizes their behavior and lifestyle.

Keywords

💡Bloom's Taxonomy

Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification system that categorizes educational goals into different levels of complexity and specificity. In the context of the video, it is used to explain how well a skill is mastered and how learning progresses from basic to advanced levels. The script discusses both the cognitive and effective versions of Bloom's Taxonomy, emphasizing the hierarchical nature of learning and the progression from lower to higher levels of understanding and application.

💡Cognitive Version

The cognitive version of Bloom's Taxonomy focuses on the intellectual skills and abilities that students develop as they progress through their education. It ranges from lower-order thinking skills such as knowledge and comprehension to higher-order skills such as evaluation and creation. The video script contrasts this with the effective version, highlighting that both are used to define mastery of skills but differ in their focus.

💡Effective Version

The effective version of Bloom's Taxonomy deals with the emotional aspect of learning, focusing on how learners attribute emotions to the knowledge they receive. It is concerned with feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasm, motivation, and attitudes. The script explains that this version studies how these emotional responses are formed and how they influence the learning process.

💡Hierarchical

The term 'hierarchical' refers to the structure of Bloom's Taxonomy, which is organized like a pyramid with basic levels at the bottom and advanced levels at the top. In the script, the hierarchical nature of the taxonomy is emphasized to show how each level builds upon the previous one, increasing in complexity and depth as one moves up the pyramid.

💡Receiving

Receiving is the first level in the effective version of Bloom's Taxonomy. It involves the learner's ability to attend and be aware of the knowledge being imparted. In the script, it is exemplified by a student attending a lecture and being attentive to the information presented.

💡Responding

Responding is the second level in the taxonomy, where learners actively react to and engage with the knowledge. The script uses the example of a group discussion where participants are willing to contribute and respond to the topic being discussed, indicating a higher level of engagement than mere reception.

💡Valuing

Valuing is the third level, where learners attach importance or value to the knowledge they are receiving. The script explains that when knowledge becomes part of a person's value system, it indicates a deeper level of learning. An example given is proposing a plan for social improvement, showing a strong association with and commitment to the topic.

💡Organization

Organization is the fourth level, where learners prioritize and resolve conflicts among different values. The script mentions emphasizing the importance of work-life balance or balancing freedom of speech with responsible behavior as examples of organizational skills in learning.

💡Characterization

Characterization, also known as characterization by value set, is the highest level in the effective version of Bloom's Taxonomy. It involves internalizing values and letting them guide one's behavior. The script uses the example of multi-level marketing, where individuals are so committed to the business model that they lead a lifestyle around it, demonstrating the knowledge and values to others.

💡Value System

A value system refers to the principles, standards, or ideals that guide a person's behavior and decision-making. In the context of the video, it is discussed in relation to how learners incorporate the knowledge they receive into their personal value systems, which can then influence their actions and attitudes.

💡Multi-level Marketing

Multi-level Marketing (MLM) is a business model where individuals sell products and recruit others to sell the same products, creating a hierarchical network of salespeople. The script uses MLM as an example of a context where individuals reach the highest level of Bloom's effective taxonomy, characterized by a deep internalization of the business's value set and a lifestyle built around it.

Encouragement for feedback and subscription to the channel

Transcripts

hello everyone and welcome to mr.

simplifies tutorials in this video we

will be looking at the effective version

of the Bloom's taxonomy now in my

channel I've already covered the

cognitive version of the taxonomy and I

therefore decided to move on to explain

the effective version of the taxonomy in

a similar way so that it helps complete

the cycle so since we have already

looked at the cognitive version of the

taxonomy and I highly recommend that you

check out my video if you haven't I'll

leave the link in the description

decided to start off with a little

comparison between the cognitive and the

effective versions no they're both

Bloom's taxonomy and they're both used

to essentially define how well a skill

is mastered so they're both they're both

normally typically represented as a

triangle with the basic levels being at

the bottom and the enhanced advanced

levels being at the top and they both

hierarchical so you start off from the

base and move towards the top of the

triangle and difficulty level in terms

of the learning increases from the

bottom to the top and then in both

taxonomy x' each level builds up on the

lower level

so each high level incorporates whatever

is in the lower level and is an advanced

version of the same the effective

version how is it actually different

than the cognitive version the effective

version effectively deals with the

manner in which we deal with things

emotionally so what emotions do we

actually attribute to the knowledge that

is being imparted upon us is what is

actually studied in the effective

versions of the taxonomy

thinks things like feelings values

appreciation enthusiasms motivations and

attitudes are formed the basis of the

effective version of the taxonomy so

let's take a look at the actual taxonomy

as we see it just like the cognitive

version it deals with a beggar pardon it

is represented as a triangle so the

basic level starts from the bottom to

the advanced levels subsequently

reaching to the top which is

characterization so we start off with

receiving moving on to responding to

valuing to organization and to

characterization also known as

characterization by value set so when we

take our learners through a journey we

accept them to first receive and then

respond then to stop valuing it and then

to start organizing it in their minds

and then to build our own characters

based on the knowledge imparted that is

the goal of any learning session or any

tutoring session

that you might be providing let's let's

look at each level individually with

some examples as always in a very simple

and straightforward manner to try and

impart this knowledge into your minds

the first level is receiving so at this

level the learner will be expected to

basically attend the learning session be

aware of what knowledge is being

imparted be willing to hear or receive

the knowledge that is being imparted and

in general just be attentive and listen

to whatever knowledge is being imparted

foreign for example during the normal

course of any lecture or lesson that is

being covered a new lesson for instance

it is common practice that each

participant is is allowed to be

introduced to the class

so at this level a participant will be

able to be aware of the names of the

newly introduced participants or even

recollected so that level is is sort of

like the most basic level so if you're

attending a lecture in your college just

attending it you will automatically be

at this level because you've chosen to

attend the lecture the second level is

responding so you're doing more than

just attending here your learners are

actually responding to the knowledge at

this level the learner will be willing

to respond will be reacting not just

listening to the knowledge being

imparted and at a mental level be

satisfied to respond or be motivated to

respond how do we how do we explain that

in an example for instance you you

decide on running a group discussion

then the the participants at this level

will be willing to take part in the

group discussion will have something to

contribute to the group discussion will

possibly even give a presentation so

they will not just be receiving

information they will be responding to

it in their own manner next level is

valuing now this is where the advanced

levels start from because at this level

the participant is not just receiving

the information or responding to it he

or she will be attaching some level of

value which is extremely important if if

if a particular topic or a phenomenon

makes its way to the person's value

system then the knowledge is definitely

being imparted and there's more to it as

we'd say at this level the learner will

attach value to the phenomenon strongly

associate with the topic and then also

demonstrate commitment to certain values

being imparted

so not just is the person actually

receiving the information

it's affecting the person emotionally so

the person is willing to go our auto

case or away and associate value to the

topic and build upon it they'll also be

able to build upon the topic because

they associate value with it they are

willing to take it to the next level for

example the the topic of discussion is

assumed to be some social changes

bringing earn or being brought about in

the school or the organization whatever

the context is the individual who will

be at this level will be it will be able

to propose a plan to bring about a

certain improvement and that improvement

will not just improve things for him or

her

it will improve things on a social level

so that is the importance of valuing the

knowledge imparted moving on to the next

level

it is organization so at this level the

learner who has already valued the

knowledge being imported will prioritize

the different values and possibly even

resolve conflicts arising from them and

he or she will not just prioritize the

values himself or herself they would

also be emphasizing prioritization to

other people for example emphasizing the

priorities of work-life balance in an

organization or a proposition to balance

freedom for instance freedom of speech

with responsible behavior so

organization is a very advanced level

and it is highly desirable for the for

that for the teacher or the tutor that

the students or the participants be at

this level and it is definitely

desirable and is normally associated

with a successful training or tutoring

session

the final level in the effective version

is characterization or characterization

by value set at this level the learners

will completely internalize his or her

values and behave in accordance be

predictable in his or her behavior in

supporting the values let the value

system control his or her behavior so I

am assuming that you're kind of getting

the drift of this now the learner has

actually progressed to a level where in

he or she has internalized the concept

and is actually letting it chain his or

her behavior the learner will be will

have actually absorb the knowledge to

such an extent that it is it is it is

typical of his behavior to be able to

demonstrate that knowledge to other

people for example the learner displays

consistently through the commitment

thorough commitment towards the ethical

practice of the value system another

example would be a very common example

that a lot of people might have

encountered in their regular lives

multi-level marketing no multi-level

marketing business models are based on

each person marketing the business to

another person and bringing that person

in in such a way that the person brings

another person along and builds up a

sort of a hierarchy of people selling

the same products the same commodities

that the original person selling and

multi-level marketing normally requires

employees or marketeers to to get

themselves to this level of emotion

where in there so bought into the

concept that they're actually leading a

lifestyle around this value set for it

for example just as an example

Amway could be thought of as a

multi-level marketing business where

each

marketeer promoting the products will be

at this particular level will be at the

highest level it is he or she will be

expected to be at the highest level and

that is what the organization would

recommend because it's only at the

highest level that the person will be

able to demonstrate that level of

competence confidence and motivation to

be able to draw people in to the same

level and then build up a hierarchy

hopefully that was clear and just like

the the cognitive version what I'm doing

is I'm giving you a simpler way of

memorizing it to remember the taxonomy

now how do we actually proceed from the

bottom to the top

receiving responding valuing organizing

and characterization the best way of

remembering it is remember that at the

first level you're accepting knowledge

the second level you're being responsive

to it at the third level you're valuing

it at the fourth level you're organizing

it in your mind and at the fifth level

you're letting it become a part of you

or a part of your character that's why

it's called characterization so you

accept knowledge you receive knowledge

you respond to it you do something about

it you just not just accept it but you

actively participate in it so you

respond to it then you start valuing it

taking it inside your mind so that is

the level of valuing and then you

organize these thoughts in your mind and

prioritize them that is organizing and

then you let it become a part of your

character that is characterization okay

hopefully that was helpful to you if you

if you found this video helpful let me

know in the comments and let me know in

the comments what aspect you want

covered obviously there's also the

psychomotor aspect of the Bloom's

taxonomy the psychomotor version which

will subsequently be covered in this

channel so watch out for that

and thank you very much for your
