Domain of learning

A. Cognitive Domain

The cognitive domain involves the development of our mental skills and the acquisition of
knowledge. The six categories under this domain are:

1. Knowledge: the ability to recall data and/or information.


Example: A child recites the English alphabet.

2. Comprehension: the ability to understand the meaning of what is known.


Example: A teacher explains a theory in his own words.

3. Application: the ability to utilize an abstraction or to use knowledge in a new


situation.
Example: A nurse intern applies what she learned in her Psychology class when she talks
to patients.

4. Analysis: the ability to differentiate facts and opinions.


Example: A lawyer was able to win over a case after recognizing logical fallacies in the
reasoning of the offender.

5. Synthesis: the ability to integrate different elements or concepts in order to form a


sound pattern or structure so a new meaning can be established.
Examples: A therapist combines yoga, biofeedback and support group therapy in creating
a care plan for his patient.

6. Evaluation: the ability to come up with judgments about the importance of


concepts.
Examples: A businessman selects the most efficient way of selling products.
