Levels of learning in the cognitive domains and behavioural objectives

Cognitive domains deal with the mind ,or a way of testing pupils' knowledge during learning process.There are several cognitive domains in learning,but lets identify five of them.
Knowledge is the foundation of all other levels .The knowledge of the learners should be regularly tested indifferent ways.Knowledge includes recalling,remembering and recognising.The knowledge helps pupils to remember what they would have been taught and then apply them in an examination situations. Knowledge also helps learners to recall the learnt things and memorise them.Memorisation is the process which enable learners to understand thus recalling.Pupils due to knowledge are able to recognise what they know and what they do not know.Information is taken easily by recognising.Behavioural objectives include: state,list,name,outline etc.
Comprehension:This entails understanding ,explaining ,interpretation ,comparison,contrast ,summarising ,grasping and logical reasoning. To comprehend is to check the understanding from learners through asking questions that needs thinking from what had learnt.
Learners can be tested in explaining like when interpreting.Children can be asked to explain or give explainations from whatever they would have been taught.
Comprehension skills also entail comparison ,where learners should be able to compare and contrast which then calls for higher order thinking in making similarities and differences.
After people able to interpret they can be able to summarise.For example after reading the passage they can able to say or write in their own words what they heard from the passage at the same time they are grasping the main points from the passage.Comprehension demands the use of logical thinking whereby you are expected to think.
Application includes using rules and principles .It is the way of testing pupils ways of thinking from what they would have been taught.What have been taught theoretically should be put into practice.They would have learnt practically and should be applied theoretically and this is when applying rules and principles in both theories and practicals.
Analysis is the level of deductive reasoning and comparison which includes assessment of the causes and effects ,thus it involves breaking the materials into parts and identifying components and the ability to identify relationships between facts and ideas.The behavioural objectives includes analyse, differentiate,distinguish ,determine etc.
Synthesis and Evaluation create a situation,whereby one is suppose to put parts together .It includes modifying and recognizing facts together.A learner may be asked to recognise facts and put in other situation.
Evaluation is when giving judgements from analysed situations .The learner is tasked to read and understand from the passage .The behavioural objectives are summarising,comment ,justify,synthesise,an account and evaluate.
