The 'affective domain' describes how we feel about things. "We know that interest, confidence, motivation, and commitment impact learner engagement and performance, but how do we design for these feelings in an intentional way?" That's the question posed in this article, and it draws on Krathwohl's Taxonomy to offer a response: receiving, responding, valuing, organization, and characterization. Unfortunately the meaning of these terms appears to have drifted through time: for example, we read here that 'receiving' is "being aware of or sensitive to the existence of certain ideas, material, or phenomena and being willing to tolerate them", which in this paper it is characterized as "learner pays attention". Similarly, valuing is originally described as "willing to be perceived by others as valuing certain ideas, materials, or phenomena," while here it is "learner believes that what s/he is learning is worthy."
