Objective Domains Analogy

The other day I was working to create an online version of the evaluation we have cooperating teachers and university supervisors complete to assess our student teachers. As I was going through the questions, I realized that the 3 categories sounded familiar. The 3 categories that we assess our candidates on (in accordance with NCATE guidelines) are Knowledge, Skills, and Dispositions. Sound familiar? Yeah, it's the objectives domains: Cognitive (Knowledge), Psychomotor (Skills), and Attitudes (Dispositions). I just thought this connection was interesting.

That's because it all comes back to instructional technology . . .

That is interesting that you are beginning to see the connestions. With each class it seems we are able to make more connections. As I was reading Teaching with Technology for CIED 5720 Technology in Math Ed, I circled some words that I saw several times that caught my eye, they were task, model, and guiding principles. These words have new meaning to me because of this class. I found the connection to be interesting.
