Arrow IMAGE Affective Domain Resources

Below are some examples of explicit consideration of the affective domain in three different educational settings: liberal arts, environmental education, and professional education (i.e., dental assitant). I've also found an affective domain chart with lists of verbs corresponding to each level.

As one might suspect, the institution that appears to have done the best job of thinking about the integration of the affective domain into the curriculum is Alverno College. Alverno publishes an excellent little book--Earley, M. et al. (1980) Valuing at Alverno: The Valuing Process in Liberal Education. Milwaukee, WI: Alverno Productions--that describes how the college has introduced affective outcomes deliberately into the curriculum and related issues.

A few websites address the affective domain issue as well:

http://its.foxvalley.tec.wi.us/iss/curric-assessment/affectivedomain.html
A useful chart with verbs that correspond to each level of the domain. Useful for course planning and evaluation.

http://eelink.net/principlesofenvironmentaleducation.html
EE-Link is a participant in the Environmental Education and Training Partnership (EETAP) of the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE). Their principles of environmental education incorporate consideration of the affective domain explicitly (i.e., valuing the preservation of the environment and behaving accordingly).

http://www.brevard.cc.fl.us/alliedhealth/dental_goals.html
This site incorporates the affective domain explicitly into goals and standards in a program for dental assistants. It also lists several evaluation instruments that might assess mastery of these outcomes.

These resources offer a start to those interested in consciously acknowledging this vital, but often unacknowledged part of the learning process.
