Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Bloom's Taxonomy divides educational objectives into three domains of learning: the Cognitive domain (intellectual abilities such as recalling facts, understanding concepts, and applying knowledge), the Psychomotor domain (physical movement, motor skills, and coordination), and the Affective domain (emotions, attitudes, interests, and values).

The question asks specifically for the domain that deals with attitudes and values — this is precisely the defining scope of the Affective domain.

  • Knowledge domain is not one of Bloom's three formal learning domains; it names a level within the Cognitive domain (recalling facts), not a domain of learning in itself.

  • Cognitive domain governs intellectual skills — recalling, understanding, applying knowledge — not emotions or values.

  • Psychomotor domain governs physical movement and motor coordination — not attitudes or values.

  • Affective domain governs emotions, attitudes, interests, and values — matching the question exactly.

Hence, the domain dealing with attitudes and values is the Affective domain, as defined in Bloom's Taxonomy (confirmed against the official CTET July 2024 answer key).
