Abstract :
Humanity has grown in leaps and bounds from humble beginnings, to be the dominant race on planet earth. The exponential growth of humanity is due to rational thinking power and the ability to differentiate the good from the bad. The Symphony is tailored to fit the classroom environment in accordance with Bloom´s Taxonomy and the Affective Domain, to help teachers measure the current attitude levels of children, develop behavioral attitudes in children, analyze different levels of behavioral attitudes and to monitor the behavioral attitude changes in children. The Symphony consists of three major components. They are: role playing game, attitude knowledge based application and grading components. They follow a systematic approach forwarded by Bloom with his Affective Domain. The Affective Domain contains five sub levels: Receive, Respond, Value, Organize and Internalize. All these five levels are perfectly mapped into the application and components of the role playing game.
