Which domain pertains to attitudes toward a subject?

• A. Metacognitive
• B. Cognitive
• C. Psychomotor
• D. Affective

Answer: (D)

Attitudes toward a subject are captured by the affective domain, which deals with emotions, values, and interest in the learning material. It includes receiving, responding, valuing, organizing, and characterizing by value toward the subject. When the question asks about attitude, motivation, or personal interest in the topic, the affective domain is the best fit. In contrast, the cognitive domain concerns knowledge and mental processes; metacognitive involves awareness and regulation of one's own thinking; the psychomotor domain covers physical skills and movement. For example, a student who enjoys math, participates eagerly, and sees value in studying the subject shows affective learning. That’s why this domain is the correct choice.
