Correct Answer - Option 1 : Knowledge
Objectives are definite, clear, narrow, specific, and can be attained in a short duration. There are two types of objectives of teaching: general and specific.
- General educational objectives are broad and related to school and the educational system.
- Specific objectives are short-term immediate goals or purposes that may be achieved through the classroom instructional/educational process. Thus we may call such an objective an educational objective/instructional objective.
Bloom (1956) had organized various educational objectives in a hierarchical order and we call it Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives.
- Cognitive domain
- Affective domain
- Psychomotor domain
Knowledge-It refers to the ability to recall information of facts, concepts, theories, laws, patterns, structures, generalizations, etc. A child who has the ability to recall mathematical information would be able to proceed to acquire the highest learning. Examples: recalling the definition of a rectangle, formula for finding the area of a rectangle, the definition of a real number, etc.
Cognitive Domain: Cognitive means ‘knowledge’. The levels falling under the cognitive domain are as follows:
- Knowledge
- Comprehension/Understanding
- Application
- Analysis
- Synthesis
- Evaluation
Thus, it is concluded that Option 1 is correct.
