Description

Example of presentation of the structure for each domain- this example focuses on the cognitive domain. Cognitive Domain Objective: By the conclusion of our teaching session, John will be able to explain the components of Canada’s food guide as demonstrated by his understanding of the food groups, and recommended food guide servings. Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy of the cognitive domain has six stages of hierarchy (remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create) that are arranged in sequence from lower order thinking skills to higher order thinking skills (Iowa State University, 2012). A learning objective from the cognitive domain contains a verb and an object; the verb is explained by the cognitive process dimension and outlines what action is expected of the client, while the object represents the understanding the client is expected to demonstrate and is described by the knowledge dimension (Iowa State University, 2012). The measurable action of the cognitive learning objective is the term “explain,” which falls into the second cognitive process category understand (Iowa State University, 2012). The measurable objective, explain, relates to the factual level of the knowledge dimension classification; as it involves creating meaning from teaching and then using that instruction to solve problems or gain a better understanding of a topic (Iowa State University, 2012). This lower level of learning is appropriate for John, as he has minimal knowledge in the area of Canada’s food guide and dietary recommendations; therefore, the understanding level of learning would meet his current learning needs. The activated health education model best applies to this learning objective, as this theory engages the individual in an assessment of their health, causes them to dwell on their health choices and ideal behaviour, and then involves individuals in behaviour modification; it relates to this learning objective as the Canada’s food guide will cause John to assess his health choices,

The activated health education model supports the learning objective of the cognitive domain. This model promotes the development of learning through self-awareness, individual assessment of health choices, and participant realization of the need for change; these factors correlate with the measurable objective of this domain in order to cause the client to assess his dietary habits to identify the need for change (Dennison & Golaszewski, 2002, as cited in WHO, 2012). Furthermore, the activated health education model relates to my personal teaching and learning philosophy as it incorporates the use of social support, elements of the social cognitivism theory such as building off of previous knowledge, as well as visual stimuli to achieve change all of which affirm my dominant teaching style (Zhou & Brown, 2015). The activated health education model will motivate the learner as it will cause the client to become aware of the need for change; thus, leading to a desire for change (Dennison & Golaszewski, 2002, as cited in WHO, 2012). John’s learning style has not been indicated; therefore, I will conduct an assessment to determine the client’s needs and learning style for each of the domains. Resources and strategies used will include printed handouts that demonstrate the elements of Canada’s food guide, as well as a brief lecture discussing dietary choices, food groups, and recommended food guide servings....
