Which component of Lesson Plan is based on Fink's Taxonomy?

Lesson-plan objectives are usually framed using Bloom's Taxonomy, but a separate framework, L. Dee Fink's Taxonomy of Significant Learning (2003), defines six distinct kinds of learning outcomes: Foundational Knowledge, Application, Integration, Human Dimension, Caring, and Learning How to Learn. Unlike Bloom's hierarchical cognitive levels, Fink's categories are non-hierarchical and interactive, and explicitly cover the affective, values-based dimension of learning that Bloom's cognitive domain does not.

Of the four components listed here, only one is a named Fink category: Caring, where the learner develops new feelings, interests, or values about the subject or its importance. The other three are levels of the revised Bloom's Taxonomy (cognitive domain), not Fink categories:

• Creating - the highest level of revised Bloom's Taxonomy: putting elements together into a new, coherent whole.

• Understanding - the second level of revised Bloom's Taxonomy: constructing meaning from instructional messages.

• Analysing - the fourth level of revised Bloom's Taxonomy: breaking material into its parts and detecting how they relate.

Since the revised Bloom's cognitive-domain taxonomy covers only cognitive skill levels, and Fink's Taxonomy is the one that explicitly names an affective, values-based component, the lesson-plan component based on Fink's Taxonomy is Caring.
