Bloom & Krathwohl’s taxonomy for the affective domain

Skills in the affective domain describe the way people react emotionally and their ability to feel another living thing's pain or joy. Affective objectives typically target the awareness and growth in attitudes, emotion, and feelings.
There are five levels in the affective domain moving through the lowest order processes to the highest:
1. Receiving
The lowest level; the student passively pays attention. Without this level no learning can occur. Receiving is about the student's memory and recognition as well.
2. Responding
The student actively participates in the learning process, not only attends to a stimulus; the student also reacts in some way.
3. Valuing
The student attaches a value to an object, phenomenon, or piece of information.
4. Organizing
The student can put together different values, information, and ideas and accommodate them within his/her own schema; comparing, relating and elaborating on what has been learned.
5. Characterizing
The student holds a particular value or belief that now exerts influence on his/her behaviour so that it becomes a characteristic.
