Understanding the principles of adult learning is essential for ensuring successful training. The classification of educational learning objectives as it is described in Bloom’s Taxonomy is not just for school teachers. The three domains of the taxonomy – cognitive, affective and psychomotor – apply to adult education as well.

In this course, we will pay attention to the cognitive domain. This is the domain of knowledge and intellect, and it is the main focus of most educators.

This course touches on the history and definition of Bloom’s taxonomy, the cognitive domain and the categories into which it is broken down, the changes introduced by the updated version of Bloom’s taxonomy, the different types of knowledge and the training in the cognitive domain.
