About This Course:

Bloom’s Taxonomy extends beyond intellectual growth to encompass the domain of physical skills, making it a vital framework for adult education. This workshop focuses on the psychomotor domain, which relates to action, movement, and physical coordination, enabling educators and trainers to design effective programs for skill development and mastery.

Bloom’s Taxonomy isn’t just for classroom educators—it’s also a critical tool for adult education and skill development. The psychomotor domain, one of the taxonomy’s three pillars, emphasizes physical coordination and action-based learning. This domain often works in tandem with the cognitive and affective domains to ensure holistic development.

The Adult Learning: Physical Skills workshop equips participants with strategies to design and implement training programs that enhance learners’ ability to perform and master physical skills. Whether it’s technical training, creative arts, or practical hands-on applications, this course helps participants bridge knowledge and action to achieve meaningful results.

How is the psychomotor domain relevant in modern training programs?
The psychomotor domain is vital for any training that involves physical skills, whether in technical fields, manual work, or creative arts. This course provides strategies to help learners effectively acquire and apply these skills.
Does this course focus solely on physical movements?
No, while the focus is on physical coordination and action, the course also explores how the psychomotor domain interacts with cognitive and affective domains to create well-rounded learning experiences.
Will I learn to evaluate learners' physical skill development effectively?
Yes, the course includes methods for psychomotor measurement, enabling you to assess progress and ensure training programs meet their intended goals.
