202110260924 Bloom's taxonomy of emotion

One of the three sections of 202110260923 Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives. The taxonomy of emotion focuses on the affective (emotion-based) domain of development.

This domain describes the way people react emotionally and their ability to empathize.

Receiving

The simplest, lowest level of passively paying attention. Without this base level, no learning can occur. This level is about the person's memory and recognition as well as their emotional response.

Responding

The next level of emotional involvement is the act of responding. The person actively participates in the learning process instead of merely receiving it. There is some sort of reaction.

Valuing

The person attaches a value to an object, phenomenon, or piece of information. They associates a value or some values to the knowledge they acquired. This stage shows that they not only hear and respond, but can understand and appreciate the learning process.

Organizing

This stage shows that the person can put together different values, information, and ideas, and can accommodate them within their own schema. The person is comparing, relating and elaborating on what has been learned.

Characterizing

A person at this level tries to build abstract knowledge. They have heard, responded, understood, and organized learning and are now trying to generalize that in order to learn something new and apply it in different situations.
