C - Cognitive: Cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills. C1 - Knowledge: Remembering of previously learned material. This may involve the recall of a wide range of material, from specific facts to complete theories, but all that is required is the bringing to mind of the appropriate information. C2 - Comprehension: The ability to grasp the meaning of material. This may be shown by translating material from one form to another (words to numbers), by interpreting material (explaining or summarizing), and by estimating future trends (predicting consequences or effects). C3 - Application: The ability to use learned material in new and concrete situations. This may include the application of such things as rules, methods, concepts, principles, laws, and theories. C4 - Analysis: The ability to break down material into its component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood. This may include the identification of the parts, analysis of the relationships between parts, and recognition of the organizational principles involved. C5 Synthesis (Design): The ability to put parts together to form a new whole. This may involve the production of a unique communication (theme or speech), a plan of operations (research proposal), or a set of abstract relations (scheme for classifying information). C6 - Evaluation: The ability to judge the value of material (statement, novel, poem, research report) for a given purpose. The judgments are to be based on definite criteria. These may be internal criteria (organization) or external criteria (relevance to the purpose) and the student may determine the criteria or be given them. P - Psychomotor: Psychomotor domain includes physical movement, coordination and use of the motor skill areas. A - Affective: Affective domain includes manner we deal with things emotionally (e.g. feelings, interests, attitudes, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations) that might result from instruction.
