Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to study the comparison between the learning objectives in Visuddhimagga and the Idea of Benjamin S. Bloom. This was a qualitative research by categorizing data according to the given issues in the scope of research and drawing conclusions with the inductive method. The results showed that the learning objectives between Visuddhimagga and the idea of Benjamin s. Bloom had the main learning objectives component, namely the Tri-sikkha system and the idea of Benjamin s. Bloom. There was purposeful learning that arranged the learning objective elements with a clear relationship with the body, mind, and wisdom, which were the main components. For Bloom's idea, it began the process from cognitive domain which originated from the development of educational psychology concepts which Bloom and his team paid attention in laying out the concept of classifying educational behaviors which had a component that focused primarily on cognitive behavioral learning.  For Visuddhimagga, elements were arranged from the behavior that was expressed in the physical behavior first because the principles and aims of Visuddhimagga were systematic that focused directly on the practice of learning. So it started with an action-oriented component which was the principle practiced from the outside to the inside.
