Cognitive, affective, and psychomotor are the three learning domains that are addressed in physical education, and are stated in each lesson outcome. The cognitive domain is described as the knowledge of movement, the affective domain focuses on growth in feelings or attitudes, and the psychomotor domain relates to the physical skills associated with movement literacy. This five-day unit plan was designed so that students develop motor skills, knowledge, and behaviors for active and healthy living. Within the cognitive domain of physical education, students are expected to grasp the intellectual aspects of movement, providing them with a solid foundation of information. The psychomotor domain focuses on nurturing the acquisition of physical skills linked to movement literacy. It involves motor skills, coordination, and physical capabilities, all essential for students to learn and engage in. The affective domain revolves around feelings or emotions of learning. In the context of physical education, it stresses the development of emotions and attitudes related to physical activity. Ultimately, the domains within physical education play a critical role in shaping the growth of students, nurturing not just physical fitness, but also fostering intellectual comprehension, and emotional resilience, and cultivating positive attitudes towards lifelong health and well-being.
