Which option represents a psychomotor objective?

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

Answer: (B)

Psychomotor objectives focus on physical action and motor skills that learners can perform and demonstrate. They involve observable movement, coordination, and manipulation of tools or the body, often through hands-on practice or demonstrations. In childbirth education, this means learners would physically perform techniques or procedures—like coordinating breathing with movements, changing positions, or practicing a hands-on skill on a model—so the outcome can be seen and assessed.

The other domains don't match this. Affective objectives involve attitudes, feelings, or values and are demonstrated through responses or choices rather than physical performance. Cognitive objectives target knowledge, understanding, and mental processes like recall or reasoning. Metacognitive objectives involve awareness and regulation of one’s own thinking and learning strategies.
