The Homeschoolers Guide to College Preparation
In 1956, Benjamin Bloom, an America educational psychologist, set a classification of learning objectives, called a taxonomy. In it, he set the standard for learning objectives which build upon each other, making the learning process more efficient and more effective through this holistic approach. He classified these educational objectives into three “domains:” Affective (attitude), Psychomotor (skills), and Cognitive (knowledge).
A famous study at Yale University polled graduating seniors in a class in the ‘50s. The students were asked what their specific and written goals for their careers and finances were. Unfortunately, only 3% of the graduating class had specific and written goals.
20 years later, the class was studied again. The 3% that had specific goals at graduation had amassed more wealth in the 20 years than the other 97% combined! Goals make that type of difference.
