WEB BASED INSTRUCTION FOR PSYCHOMOTOR DOMAIN: A NEED FOR SKILL DEVELOPMENT

In the present scenario, we are moving from knowledge society to wisdom society in which individual must be equipped with the skills, abilities and competencies of applying knowledge in a practical way rather than having formally education. But this is not possible in conventional setup of teaching as it is not providing the platform to develop higher order skills abilities. Teachers teach in vacuum and are more concerned with cognitive domain. But in the digital age where e-resources are easily accessible to everyone, developments in web based instruction have provided both teachers and students with a wide variety of teaching/learning alternatives that will extend the educational boundaries beyond the traditional four walls of the classroom. Web based instructional package not only supports for cognitive learning, but also facilitates learning in other domains of Bloom taxonomy. Such type of packages may help in developing skilled oriented individuals which is the need of the hour.
