Taxonomy

In physical education it is critical to understand the importance of learning in all three domains of cognitive, affective, and pyscomotor. These three domains combined will establish and develop a cirriculum that is very strong and will devleop students into physically educated indivudals.
This being said if we look at the psycomotor taxonomy and what it entails we can see that it includes six different levels of pyscomotor development and learning. These six areas include
Reflex
Fundamental Movements
Perceptual Abilities
Physical Abilities
Skilled Movements
Non-discursive Communication
So as a physical educator looking to develop a comprehensive cirriulum using this form of taxonomy it is important to understand how these componets interrelate and interact with one another. Each area of this taxonomy was developed from simple skills to harder skills. As a teacher is developing their cirriuclum or writing standards, goals, and objectives it is important to take the state standard that the teacher is working from and then develop certain goals they want to be estanblished in each level of this taxonomy. Once the standards and goals have been established it is important to write objectives that can be used to meausre the learning and sucess of these students.
