A language teacher is designing a lesson plan for Grade 3 students to promote foundational literacy. She includes activities for students to summarize family stories, appreciate cultural diversity in tales, and chant poems with coordinated gestures. Which combination of Bloom's domains is most directly reflected in this approach?
Answer: A. Cognitive, affective, and psychomotor — Concept: Bloom's taxonomy sorts learning objectives into three domains. The cognitive domain covers knowledge and thinking processes such as recalling,…

Correct answer: A
Concept: Bloom's taxonomy sorts learning objectives into three domains. The cognitive domain covers knowledge and thinking processes such as recalling, understanding, analysing and summarising. The affective domain covers feelings, attitudes, values and appreciation. The psychomotor domain covers coordinated physical action such as gesture, rhythm and articulation. A lesson plan reflects a domain whenever at least one of its planned activities demands that kind of learning.
Application: Map each planned activity of this lesson to the kind of learning it demands:
Planned activity | Kind of learning demanded | Bloom's domain |
|---|---|---|
Summarising family stories | Understanding a text and restating its gist in one’s own words | Cognitive |
Appreciating cultural diversity in tales | Receiving and valuing the cultures of others; forming attitudes | Affective |
Chanting poems with coordinated gestures | Producing rhythmic speech synchronised with controlled body movement | Psychomotor |
Cross-check: All three kinds of learning are planned, so no two-domain description can cover the whole lesson.
“Cognitive and psychomotor only” would account for the summarising and the gesture-coordinated chanting, but leaves the appreciation of cultural diversity in tales unclassified.
“Cognitive and affective only” would account for the summarising and the appreciation of cultural diversity, but leaves the gesture-coordinated chanting unclassified.
“Affective and psychomotor only” would account for the appreciation of cultural diversity and the gesture-coordinated chanting, but leaves the summarising of family stories unclassified.
Therefore the lesson plan most directly reflects the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains together.
