I think the cognitive domain is the most important. It involves mental processes. It ranges from memorization to the ability to think and solve problems. It seems to me these are characteristics that each person needs to function in society. Anthony Wilson
I agree with Anthony, using the cognitive domain seems to be the most important. I think that problem solving and and the ability to think through important situations is essential to a person being able to function in society.
I believe psychomotor skills are very important in becoming a functioning individual in society. Most jobs require some sort of physical skills, like writing/typing, using a computer, welding, or electrical wiring. These may be very different skills, however they are necessary for a job. It should be emphasized to students society does not exist without working individuals.
I find that psychomotor skills are the most important. In society, people must be able to perform tasks to belong. No matter what profession they belong to, they must be able to use things like computers for communication, lift objects, or be able to simply write.
I feel that the Cognitive Domain is the most important b/c it deals with obtaining knowledge with the ability to recall and recognize things. Just as Bloom's taxonomy, the higher level thinking is what promotes learning and better teaching strategies. We can memorize things and learn them, but we also need to be able to understand and analyze them as well. I also think an Affective Domain emphasizes the desire to learn. The Psychomotor Domain is a key element as well especially with the ability of learners to work with their hands as well as their minds. Israel Easter
I agree with the previous posters in that the most important domain is that of the cognitive. This domain involves mental process from memorization to solving problems. No matter what your profession one has to have the abliity to solve problems, maybe not extremely complex ones but problems none the less. However, affective and psychomotor domains are important for everyday life as well. ~ Jennifer Campbell
I certainly don't think you would want competency in only two of the three. Lacking significantly in any one of the three areas would create a difficult situation I think. If I had to choose the most important I guess I would say psychomotor skills. It just seems like without at least very basic psychomotor skills it would be difficult to function independently from day to day. -- Marlin Campbell

Practically speaking, the domain that I feel is the most important is the cognitive domain. State standards of achievement, college entrance exams, and many professional development programs make this domain an emphasis. This domain centers on what people know and their intellectual abilities. While the other domains are crucial, our world seems to center on one's cognitive learnings and abilities.
I feel that the cognitive domain is the most important because it involves the ability to think and problems solve. However, I think the best results occur when all three domains can be used to challenge students.
In life I believe that we are mostly called to use our cognitive domain on a regular basis. Most of the time when we have to make a decision we are using prior knowledge or mental processing skills. Emotions and physical movements are not always needed. I believe this is why we have more classes on academics, because that is what will help prepare students the most for their future of problem solving.
Although all three domains are important in life and in education, I feel as if the cognitive domain is the most important. Having the ability to think and as Shelly said to use prior knowledge is very important for anyone. This would certainly be true for someone that is learning. If not you be beginning everyday from square one, no matter what abilities or emotions you may possess. To respond to some of the comments above saying psychomotor is the most important:
There have been many cases where people have overcome the short comings of the other two domains and had the ability to be a part of society. People that are physically disabled or have some mental disabilities would agree that cognitive is the most important. Society is a very general term with many different people in it. It is not one singular type of person.
I feel that using the cognitive domain is the most important because it uses the ability to think and solve problems. Problem solving the most important concept we can teach our students.
I also feel that the cognitive domain would be the most important of the three domains. Throughout our lives we face continuous problems that we must solve. I teach Algebra 1 to 7th and 8th grade students and the most common question I am asked is "When are we ever going to use this?" and my answer is "daily".
I believe the cognitive domain would be most important out of the three, although you do not want to neglect the other 2. Thinking skills are the most commonly used skills daily. The ability to problem solve, even the simplest taks, will help you survive in today's world. That is, after all, what we strive to teach children: to think! Samantha Reed
I think that all domains fit together like a puzzle. However, I believe that the cognitive domain is the most important. I agree with the other postings that we must teach our children to be good problem solvers so that they can be successfull in school and throughout life.
I believe the cognitive domain is the most important of the three. Being able to deal with and recall knowledge and the development of abilities and skills are very important for children to learn in todays society. Also the ability to think and solve problems our 2 skills that the children of our future should definetely be able to use.
I also agree that the cognitive domain is the most important because it involves mental processes that range from memorization to the ability to think and solve problems. It is very important that children today know how to think and solve problems on their own. By doing this they can be very competetive in the job market, and it is something they will use throughout their whole entire life.
The cognitive domain is most important in educational situations. But, they all have to be intertwined to a degree. You cannot write neatly on paper without propor psychomotor skills and effective skills are needed to build relationships in school. When it comes down to the grading process the cognitive domain prevails. Shane Reed
Cognitive - the ability to problem solve and analyze a situation is the most important life skill that students (and adults) can develop. Not to say that psycho motor and affective are not important, but cognitive gives you the ability to think for yourself and to solve problems, which unfortunately is the cycle of life. Melissa Ogle
I definitly believe that the cognitive domain has its benefits, but I look at the practical physical use of the body and that leans me more toward the psychomotor domain. I will admit there is a ton of bias to this answer with me being a pe teacher. I just feel that the task at hand whatever it maybe usually requires the body to manipulate something to get by. Yes you must cognitively have the know how to do so, but once again to get the job done some form of manipulation must take place. zack dotson
I really think which domain is most important can vary according to the content area being taught and the learner being taught. Some of my students(SPED),who struggle with fine and gross motor skills will really benefit more the than your average student if they have more psychomotor teaching experiences. Some classes such as computer classes require cognitive and psychomotor skills. If I was teaching government I hope the students would be actively using their affective domain,obtaining some ideas about how to be a good citizen.
