Question

1. Class members must identify two attitudinal changes that have occurred in their lives since beginning their nursing education.
2. Class members must list the technical skills they have learned.
3. Class members must demonstrate a favorite nursing skill for the class.
4. Class members must read a paragraph about a new clinical trial, summarize the information, and present it to the rest of the class.

Answer 1

1. Class members must identify two attitudinal changes that have occurred in their lives since beginning their nursing education.

Rationale:
The affective domain of Bloom's theory of learning is also known as the "feeling" domain. It includes emotional responses to tasks such as feelings, emotions, interests, attitudes, and appreciations. Listing technical skills and reading or summarizing information is part of the "thinking" domain, which includes knowing, comprehending, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The psychomotor domain is the "skill" domain and includes hands-on motor skills, such as demonstration.
