Holistic education not
only involves the development of the cognitive and affective domains. It also
involves the development of the psychomotor domains which pertain to physical
movement, perceptual abilities and non-verbal communication. Harrow, A.J.
developed a taxonomy of objectives for psychomotor with six categories:
1.
Reflex Movements -
this includes segmental reflexes.
2.
Fundamental Movements -
this include walking, running, jumping and etc.
3.
Perceptual Abilities -
this include kinesthetic, visual, auditory, tactile and coordination.
4.
Physical Abilities -
involve endurance, strength, flexibility, agility, and dexterity.
5.
Skilled Movements-
these are the movements necessary in games, sports, dances and the arts.
6.
Non-Discursive Communications -
these relate to expressive movements through posture, gestures, facial
expressions and creative movement.
