Learning and the Affective Approach

About the Book

My book, Learning and the Affective Approach, is a demonstration of the importance of affection, love, association, and integration for kids, preschoolers, and schoolers in their immediate environment and learning journey. That was an intellectual work that led us to a profound reflection on learning and on human intelligence (which we redefined in chapter 1), which facilitates the learning process—how we acquire knowledge, what makes people appear more intelligent or less, and what hinders the process of acquiescing knowledge. Lastly, we have come to understand why Benjamin Bloom had so much success with the publication of his “Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: Cognitive Domain” in 1956. In addition, we understood why David Krathwohl had to build upon Bloom’s ideas to publish a new book on educational taxonomy related to affection. The former infuses cognitive notions into the kids’ mind, and the latter relaxes it to facilitate the reception (chapter 2).

About the Author

Acene Fleurmons earned a bachelor degree in social work at Florida International University, in Miami, Florida (2004); a master of art in management at Ashford University (2010); and his doctorate degree in organizational leadership at Argosy University (2014). He is an educational researcher and the founder of Educational Services and Research Center. He is the author of New Paradigms of Becoming a Leader, published in 2013. Acene has dedicated his entire life to educational research. He actually is conducting research on education, teaching, and learning, focused especially on Benjamin Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: Cognitive Domain and David Krathwohl’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: The Classification of Educational Goals. The author/researcher wishes readers to have new and deep insights into Bloom’s taxonomy like never before. This is a subject that will never become old and classified as unfashionable educational thoughts. It just needs updaters like you and me. It implies that after the present publication, where one can find a profound analysis of the first part of the educational objective, Acene’s next step is going to be a reflection on the affective domain related to how people learn and the role of affection in education at home and in public areas and the role of the mind and brain in the process of learning. Acene’s main goal is to help increase the literature on education as a practitioner and educational theorist. Consequently, it is sure that he will help educators and teachers make progress in focusing on the students’ successes, starting with the way of teaching and educating and the way of testing. In other words and lastly, Acene wants to see change in the educational system for the good of not only the United States but also the world. That’s all his endeavors, and he needs nothing else.
