2. Psychomotor objectives are those specific to
discreet physical functions, reflex actions and
interpretive movements.
• The psychomotor domain were not fully
described until the 1970s.
3. Traditionally, these types of objectives are concerned
with the physically encoding of information, with
movement and/or with activities where the gross and
fine muscles are used for expressing or interpreting
information or concepts.
This area also refers to natural, autonomic responses or
reflexes. The psychomotor domain is comprised of
utilizing motor skills and coordinating them.
5. is the ability to apply sensory
information to motor activity.
Example: A cook adjusts the heat of
stove to achieve the right
temperature of the dish.
.Perception:
6. is the readiness to act.
Example: An obese person displays
motivation in performing planned
exercise.
Set:
7. Guided Response:
.is the ability to imitate a displayed
behavior or to utilize trial and
error.
Example: A person follows the
manual in operating a machine.
8. is the ability to convert learned
responses into habitual actions with
proficiency and confidence.
Example: A mother was able to cook a
delicious meal after practicing how to
cook it.
Mechanism::
9. is the ability to skillfully perform
complex patterns of actions.
Example: Typing a report on a
computer without looking at the
keyboard.
Complex Overt Response:
10. the ability to modify learned skills
to meet special events.
Example: A designer uses plastic
bottles to create a dress.
Adaptation:
11. is creating new movement patterns
for a specific situation.
Example: A choreographer creates
a new dance routine.
Origination:
13. Dave (1975) developed this taxonomy to represent different
degrees of competence in performing a skill.
Imitation - Observing and copying someone else.
Example: Copying a work of art.
Performing a skill while observing a demonstrator.
Manipulation - Guided via instruction to perform a skill.
Example: Shad was able to solve the math problems by
reading the steps on how to solve it.
14. Precision - Accuracy, proportion and exactness exist in the
skill performance without the presence of the original
source.
Example: Aya masterfully performs a dancing skill.
Articulation - Two or more skills combined, sequenced, and
performed consistently.
Example: Student can link number of skills into a gymnastics
sequence.
15. Naturalization - Two or more skills combined,
sequenced, and performed consistently and with
ease. The performance is automatic with little
physical or mental exertion.
Example: Maneuver a car into a tight parking lot.
17. Harrow (1972) developed this taxonomy. It is organized according to
the degree of coordination including involuntary responses and learned
capabilities. Simple reflexes begins at the lowest part of the taxonomy
while the neuromascular coordination makes up to the highest level.
Reflex movements - Automatic reactions.
Example: Jerking hand on touching hot objects.
Sneezing because of irritants in nasal passages.
Basic fundamental movement - Simple movements that can build
to more complex sets of movements.
Example: walking, jumping, running, kicking, and throwing
18. Perceptual - Environmental cues that allow one to adjust movements.
Example: Classify objects by color.
Discriminates tactually.
Physical abilities - Things requiring endurance, strength, vigor, and
agility.
Example: Marvy performs sit-ups.
Marian and Jean are playing badminton.
Skilled movements - Activities where a level of efficiency is achieved.
Example: Rashima modifies the dance step of their performance in order
to fit it in the music.
19. Example: Al-makri plays volleyball well with his impressive skills.
Non-discursive communication – Are communication through bodily
movement (body language).
Example: Approves using a facial expression, gestures and posture.
