Impact of Psychomotor Domain in Enhancing Science Learning in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan: A Review

Abstract

Learning can be divided into three categories: emotional (attitudes), psychomotor (skills), and cognitive (knowledge). The Taxonomy of Learning Domains, developed in 1956 by a team of academics under the direction of Benjamin Bloom, provides the clearest explanation of this grouping. The learning domains were initially developed and described between 1956 and 1972. Psychomotor goals are specific to reflexes, interpretive motions, and body processes. It's interesting to note that although cognitive and affective taxonomies were described in 1956 and 1964, respectively, the psychomotor domain was not fully developed until the 1970s.
