As a graduate student volunteering adult classes, I often wondered how the balancing of school, work, and life was for an adult student but quintessentially why education was not a priority in the growing-up phase of their lives. It seems that the working world taught them the hard way by beating them up every work day for not having an education.  The challenges were many and went both ways for the adult teachers as well as the adult students; teachers for adult learners had to be supportive & encouraging, put up with ingenuity and not to mention the resources made available for the adult students. One such resource was Bloom’s Taxonomy used effectively to promote higher forms of thinking in education as well as a basis for designing educational, training, and learning processes. Bloom’s Taxonomy identifies three domains of learning or educational activities namely:
Cognitive: mental skills (knowledge)
Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (attitude or self)
Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (skills)
Domains may be thought of as categories and the current business world often refer to these three categories as KSAs, the applications of which are widely found in the area of management sciences.   For instance, in the areas of HRM, a combination of KSA’s (Knowledge, Skills & Attitude) is reflected in a job behavior that can be observed, measured and evaluated thus forming the basis for a Competency based HRM.
