Cognitive Psychomotor and Affective Domain Objectives

Nurse educators write measureable objectives in all three domains of Bloom’s taxonomy: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. It is relatively easy to write measureable objectives in the cognitive and psychomotor domains. The challenge is writing measureable objectives in the affective domain that relate to feelings, values, and beliefs. Beliefs and values are important concepts, and nurse educators must develop skills in writing affective domain objectives. For this discussion, you will write a total of four affective learning objectives, two for the classroom and two for the clinical setting.
