Page 4: Didactic unit

Timing: 5 sessions of 50 minutes a week, periodof 2 weeks (Total of 10 sessions)

Topic: you can choose the topic, but you have to justify your choice, referring to the curriculum

You need to specify (you can invent this):

- age/grade of students

Specify the level or criterion for the knowledge, skill, ability that the student must demonstrate

Include conditions under which they should be able to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, abilities

The Three Domains of Learning

(Bloom, et al. 1956)

Cognitive: mental skills (knowledge)

Affective: growth in feelings or emotional

areas (attitude or self)

Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (skills)

Page 13: Didactic unit

The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the

development of intellectual skills (Bloom, 1956).

There are six major categories of cognitive processes, from the simplest to the most complex:

▪ Remembering

▪ Understanding

▪ Applying

▪ Analyzing

▪ Creating

▪ Evaluating

abilities, knowledge, values, and attitudes? Are the outcomes simply stated? Is it possible to collect accurate and reliable data for

the outcomes? Can they be used to identify areas to improve? Are they written using action verbs to specify definite,

observable behaviors? Does the language describe student rather than

teacher behaviors? Does the language describe a learning outcome, not a

process?
