A Study of Pedagogical Inputs of Learning Outcomes with Respect to Teachings of Bhagavad Gita

Abstract

This paper presents pedagogical inputs of learning outcomes based on Blooms 
Taxonomy in respect to teachings of Bhagavad-Gita. The Blooms Taxonomy of Educational 
Objectives classified into three domains namely cognitive domain, affective domain and 
psychomotor domain which are just equivalent to three disciplines of Bhagavad-Gita namely 
knowledge, devotion and action respectively. This paper saught to investigate systematically 
chapter-wise pedagogical inputs of Bhagavad Gita and learning outcome which are presented 
cohesively based on cognitive, affective and psychomotor of Blooms Taxonomy of educational 
objectives. This paper is based on literature review and hermeneutics, a qualitative research 
methodology which involves study, understanding and interpretation of ancient or classical text. 
The existing findings are interpreted by analyzing the contents of Bhagavad Gita. Three paths of 
knowledge, devotion and action enshrined in Bhagavad-Gita, are not independent of one 
another, but they together form a synthetic whole. This study aims to gain deep understanding 
and insights into three domains of Blooms Taxonomy like cognitive, psycho motor and affective 
domains and three paths of Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga and Bhakti yoga are complementary as 
well as supplementary to each other
