The domains of learning

The Cognitive Domain
Bloom’s revised taxonomy for the cognitive domain gives six categories or levels, ranging from founda-
tional cognitive processes such as knowledge (e.g. identify or define) to more complex processes such
as creating (e.g. design or construct). This hierarchy is helpful for scaffolding instruction and assessment
as learners build skills and knowledge.
The Affective Domain

The affective domain includes emotions, values, and attitudes. While these may be harder to observe
and quantify compared to cognitive skills, they are vital to developing effective physicians. Like the cog-
nitive domain, they can also be categorized in order of complexity.
The Psychomotor Domain

The psychomotor domain entails physical functions that make up the performance of tasks, skills, or
actions (3). For example, the physical skills needed to start an intravenous line or perform sutures fall into
the psychomotor domain. Objectives in the psychomotor domain can often be measured by observa-
tion and quality of outcomes as well as metrics such as speed, accuracy, and patient satisfaction.

What is the ABCD model for writing learning objectives?

ABCD stands for: Audience, Behavior, Condition, Degree (1,2). The audience is the students or learners,
while the behavior is the specific, measurable behavior that uses an action verb. The condition describes
any resources, interactions, or materials that may be used, and the degree gives the expected level of
mastery. The objective is written from the perspective of the learner and describes what the learner will
be able to do after instruction.

To effectively use the table below and ensure alignment, every objective should have at least one as-
sessment item and every assessment item must align with an objective. Including the domain and
assessment method in the table helps ensure that the components align among domains and assess-
ment types (e.g. written assessments should generally not be used for objectives in the psychomotor
domain). Creating a table such as this gives a quick visual representation of all the elements needed to
align for effective and efficient instruction.
