Portfolio 4
Think about the conditions that shape your lesson plan construction
(calendar year, length of class period, assessments, community
factors, etc.). How might these forces influence your choice of
affective, cognitive, or psychomotor domains?
In the Seifert, K. & Sutton, R reading, the authors write, “Taxonomies
related to abilities and skills that are physical, or psychomotor, have
also been used less widely than affective taxonomies, with the notable
exception of one area of teaching where they are obviously relevant:
physical education” (p. 223). Do you feel this to be an accurate
sentiment of your class or (if you’re not currently teaching) your
teaching philosophy? Do you include any level of psychomotor
complexity in your lessons?
Do you utilize a framework of learning styles to differentiate teaching?
Might these actually reflect a learning domain rather than a learning
style?
This activity will be assessed by your instructor using the Portfolio Activity
Rubric.
Answer
I did my best to construct educational objectives that would cover all three
domains. I taught the middle stage and I get seven periods a week to meet
my students, and for every period I only have 40 minutes. it was hard for me
to include all of these three domains every period. So I took a look at the
curriculum and reflected on the learning activities I can use in my class. I
took considered constructing my educational objectives according to the
curriculum and based on the time frame allotted to achieve these objectives.
I also considered the assessment tools that I can use to know the success
rate of my students' achievements.

To be honest, I am a math teacher, and at first, I thought I couldn't include
the psychomotor domain in my teaching unless I will be teaching P.E.
However if we look at the definition of the psychomotor domain, it is focusing
on performing sequences of motor activities to a specified level of accuracy,
smoothness, rapidity, or force (Kasil lingam, ct.al., 2014). In Math, we teach
the students how to think like mathematicians. And provide them with some
skills that help them to solve the problems. For instance, to be good at math
you must trust yourself, have the basics of math, and practice more and
more to make your brain think correctly and analyze the problem to get the
answer and discuss your teacher and your classmates that is what I did when
I was a student. In my class, I always try to make sure that my students will
be able to realize these psychomotor domains and the level of complexity.
