Adult Learning: Physical Skills
About This Course
Bloom’s Taxonomy is not just for elementary school teachers. The three domains of the taxonomy apply to adult education as well. In this course, we will focus on the psychomotor domain; the domain of action and physicality. It is important to remember that psychomotor complies with the other domains when implementing it.Please login.

Bloom’s Taxonomy
Bloom's Taxonomy categorizes cognitive skills into six levels: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. It guides educators in developing learning objectives and assessments that promote critical thinking.
Observation
Observation in Bloom's Taxonomy involves recognizing and noting details, behaviors, or phenomena. It serves as the foundational step for higher-order thinking, enabling learners to gather information for analysis and understanding.
Imitation
Imitation in Bloom's Taxonomy involves replicating behaviors or skills demonstrated by others. It serves as an early stage of learning, allowing learners to practice and build confidence before progressing to application and analysis.
Manipulation
Manipulation in Bloom's Taxonomy refers to skillfully handling tools or materials to perform tasks. It involves applying knowledge through practice, enhancing proficiency and confidence, and serving as a bridge to more complex skills.
Precision
Precision in Bloom's Taxonomy involves accurately performing tasks or skills with attention to detail. It reflects a high level of competence and mastery, allowing learners to execute activities effectively and efficiently.
Articulation
Articulation in Bloom's Taxonomy refers to clearly expressing ideas, thoughts, or skills. It enables learners to communicate effectively, demonstrating their understanding and mastery of concepts, which is essential for collaboration and teaching others.
Naturalization
Naturalization in Bloom's Taxonomy involves mastering skills to the extent that they become second nature. Learners can perform tasks effortlessly and intuitively, integrating knowledge seamlessly into their daily activities and problem-solving.
Versions of Psychomotor Domain
The psychomotor domain includes levels of skill development: perception, set, guided response, mechanism, complex overt response, adaptation, and origination, guiding educators in structured training and skill acquisition.
Psychomotor Measurements
Psychomotor measurements assess an individual's ability to perform physical tasks that require coordination, precision, and skill. Common methods include observation, performance tests, simulations, and practical exams to evaluate proficiency and improvement.
Skills to Consider When Planning
When planning training, consider skills in assessment, curriculum design, instructional techniques, communication, organization, flexibility, and evaluation to ensure effective delivery and meet learner needs.
