Learning Domains
I think that it is extremely important to prepare instructional objectives in each domain of learning because it allows students to learn basic principles of a content area and have the opportunity to comprehend what it is that they are learning before advancing. As students gain knowledge and comprehension then they can advance to higher levels of learning. I think that it is also important as teachers to be able to recognize when it is time to switch gears and step it up a notch. I have had my share of experiences where I was under the assumption that my student really didn’t have any prior knowledge of a particular unit only to find out that they knew more than I thought, so I would have to use higher level objectives to make it interesting for them and to challenge them so I think that it is very important. If instructional objectives are not presented at various levels then the ways in which our students learn to process and decipher information will be stagnant and unvaried
