ELEV-EU 002: Adult Learning – Physical Skills

Course Number: ELEV-EU 002

Duration: One day

Course Description:

Bloom’s Taxonomy is often associated with classroom learning, but its domains are equally relevant in adult education and training environments. The psychomotor domain focuses on physical skills, movement, coordination, and the ability to perform tasks through action. These skills are critical in roles that require hands-on performance, procedural accuracy, and physical interaction with tools, equipment, or environments.

The Adult Learning – Physical Skills course introduces learners to the psychomotor domain of Bloom’s Taxonomy and its application in adult learning. Learners will explore different psychomotor taxonomies, stages of skill development, and methods for measuring and planning physical skill training. The course emphasizes how psychomotor learning works alongside cognitive and affective domains to support effective training and performance outcomes.

By the end of this course, learners should be able to:

• Explain Bloom’s Taxonomy and its relevance to adult learning
• Describe the psychomotor domain and its role in skill development
• Compare different psychomotor taxonomies
• Identify psychomotor activities and skill levels
• Apply strategies for implementing psychomotor training
• Consider key physical skills when planning training
