BEHAVIOURAL THEORY
Introduction.
Benjamin Bloom's conceptual approach for learning activity is also commonly known as Bloom’s Taxonomy and it
entails three main fields of learning namely, cognitive, affective as well as psychomotor (Radmehr & Drake, 2018).
The framework is among the most acknowledged learning theories in the education sector.
The approach is crucial in helping educators to be aware of the fact that they will experience a challenging time while
handling different students. It is hard to make them pay attention as well as to stop bothering other students since it is
Moreover, the framework is helpful in identifying various ideas and approaches key in explaining how individuals
learn.
BEHAVIORAL THEORY.
The theory emphasizes on how people or students learn. It affirms that all habits or behaviors are learned or acquired
through constant intercation with the sorrounding or environment (Torun et al., 2021).
The behavioral theory is crucial for teachers and educators since it influences how students behave and react in the
classroom, and recommends that educators can directly impact how students behave.
The theory is crucial in helping teachers understand the impact of home lifestyle and environment to their habits, aiding
Cognitive objectives stressed on thinking capacities including the abilitiy for intellectual
The most common fields for setting learning objectives and goals for students is the cognitive domain
The six learning levels of cognitive ojectives in Bloom’s taxonomy are assessment, synthesis,
Psychomotor
Psychomotor relates to the physical motor capacities.
Moving physically, coordinating movements, and utilizing motor skills are all elements of this learning
domain.
According to Harrow’s taxonomy, the domain focuses on the establishment of body control, agility,
dexterity, and physical fitness to attain a high expertise level (Shaker, 2018).
The taxonomy is organized in accordance to the coordination degree including learned capabilities and
involuntary responses.
Learning Objectives.
Affective
The domain relates to attitudes, interests, values, appreciation and emotions of learners.
Affective objectives aim to change an individual’s interpersonal interactions, decisions, and outlook
Therefore, students must be willing to accept the goal and pay mush attention to various stimuli to meet
The main goal of the domain is to help students to comprehend their values or attitudes and learn how

When utilizing knowledge or skills in a new and irregular environment, a person will demonstrate
set of values and beliefs that will motivate students to have interest in the learnig
Fistly, the edicational issues that form the instructional material’s motive
• Learning evaluation can be conducted through carious ways such as self reports, observation, surveys, and quizzes.
• Evaluation plays a key role throughout the learning process as it helps sudents and teachers in enhancing learning
• Evaluation of learning is an ongoing exercise and a continuous process. When taking quizes, students receive
• Therefore, the process can outline both their achievements and areas that require improvements. Besides,it can
enhance the growth attitude and mindset that a teachers wants to instill in their students.
Conclusion.
• According to the behaviourist perspective, information is promarily sent from the educator to the learner with the suitable
• Hence, the education purpose is to equip learners with the fundamental behavioral range to respond effectively to multiple
• A behaviourist approach includes rewarding students for their achievements and hardwork with appreciation points or
accolades.
• The concepts utilizes the similar behavior modification strategies that Skinner reinforced to make students aim for excelence or
behave properly.
