How to use the verb Explain in a course or learning design

To use the 'Explain' verb in the affective domain, the educator can ask the learners to articulate their emotions, beliefs, or values regarding a specific topic or concept. One way to incorporate this in the learning design is by using the question stem 'Explain why you feel strongly about [topic]'. This prompts learners to delve into their feelings and thoughts in a structured manner. In actionable steps, educators can: 1. Introduce the topic or concept that evokes emotions or opinions. 2. Provide examples or real-life scenarios to help learners connect on a personal level. 3. Ask the question stem 'Explain why you feel strongly about [topic]' to encourage learners to express their thoughts. 4. Allow time for reflection and processing of emotions before sharing their responses. 5. Facilitate a group discussion or individual reflection on the different perspectives shared by the learners. By incorporating the 'Explain' verb in this manner, educators can foster deeper self-awareness, empathy, and critical thinking skills among the learners. This approach also helps create a more engaging and personalized learning experience. Keywords: Bloom's Taxonomy, affective domain, explain, learning design, question stem.
