7 U NDERSTANDING GWO LEARNING OBJECTIVES
7.1 Taxonomy
To formulate a measurable learning objective, taxonomy is used to describe the level of expected learning outcome within the learning domains of knowledge, skill and attitude. As an example, belonging to the learning domain of knowledge, to have a participant name or describe something, as opposed to have them explain it in their own words, or even apply or demonstrate what they have learned – describes different performance levels, i.e. different taxonomy levels.
Taxonomy action verbs and levels used in this GWO standard are based on the following:
Domain
Basis

Krathwohl’s “affective taxonomy” - Simpson’s “psychomotor taxonomy” -
Attitude

Physical skills, cognitive controlled and observable
Bloom’s “cognitive taxonomy” -

Demonstrates belief in a process, procedure or set of rules.
Specific examples
Value:
The instructor should present the topic in a positive way. For example, the principle of performing tasks in a safe manner. The participant demonstrates through their attitude to a task that they value the process or the rules and procedures behind the task. For example, the delegate will actively seek and use protective gloves in a given work situation.
