Integrating Affective & Psychomotor Domain in Curriculum
Here are some ways how we can integrate both domains:

Real-World Projects: It helps students learn by doing things that involve both feelings and hands-on
skills, like community projects.

Learning by Doing: Let students learn by actually doing things, such as internships where they use their
feelings and physical abilities.

Reflection and Discussion: Ask students to think about what they did, write about their feelings, and
talk about what they learned.

Collaborative Learning: Have students work together, so they learn to work with others.

Tests & Evaluation: It shows how well students understand their feelings and skills, like practical tests
and thinking about what they learned.

Teaching the Whole Student: Teaching the whole student involves nurturing every aspect of their
growth-academic, emotional, social and physical.

By following these, educators can create a balanced curriculum with both of the Domains.
