CHARACTERISTICS AND INTERESTS OF CHILDREN 

Are broken down into three domain categories:
1) Psychomotor : this domain is based on learning physical skills. These skills are based upon, movement vocabulary, movement of body parts, patterns of movement, moving with others, and movement problem solving.
2) Cognitive: The focus of these areas are knowing rules, health information, safety, and being able to apply such knowledge, they should learn to analyze different activities.
3) Affective: Deals with feelings, attitudes, and values. This domain changes more slowly than the other two. If physical education is to have a lasting effect on students, it is important that students have a positive set of values related to this area.
