Problem: According to DeYoung (2015), "Bloom (1984) and his colleagues identified three learning domains: cognitive (knowing), psychomotor (doing), and affective (feeling, valuing)" (p. 55).
Nurse educators write measurable outcomes in all three domains. It is easy to write measurable outcomes in the cognitive and psychomotor domains. The challenge is writing measurable outcomes in the affective domain that relates to feelings, values, and beliefs. Beliefs and values are important concepts, and nurse educators must develop skills in writing effective domain outcomes.
