From NTI to the classroom

Every teacher in the classroom should know something about the Cognitive, Psychomotor, and Affective domains of learning. The emphasis in most schools today seems to be the Cognitive domain, since they spend so much time dealing with the SAT or the HSGT. Several of our High Schools are using a multidisciplinary curricula which allows the students to develop their Psychomotor skills, such as music and drama. Not much attention is given to the Affective domain which deals with the student's attitude and values. After looking into the different domains you will realize why most students, especially those in high schools that are full of attitudes without values.

Trevor, I agree. We need to work harder with the Affective Domain. Parents used to instill right from wrong in their children. Parents use to make sure that their children learned the Golden Rule and treated others the way they wanted to be treated. We've lost that in a large part of our society now. Example is still the best teacher. Unfortunately many parents are not good examples. So teachers have to be as good examples as we can be to our students. Maybe our students will pick up at least a few good qualities along the way.

Excellent blog. That is so true. And, way to incorporate this vocabulary into your blog!! Seriously though, these methods could only improve relationships at home, between parents and kids. I mean, the implementation of this methodology could work at nearly every stage of child development.
