Objectives Guidelines
Learning objectives must contain 4 parts:
- Audience – Whose behavior do you hope to change?
- Behavior – What is the new knowledge, skill, and/or attitude you hope to achieve?
- Condition – What are the circumstances under which they will demonstrate the behavior?
- Degree – How well or how often will they demonstrate the behavior?
Ex: You will be able to write learning objectives, using the ABCD model provided above, including all four components in every objective without assistance.
The objectives should be:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Time-Bound
Try to focus on what the learner will do, not what the learner will learn.
Learning objectives will fall into one of the three categories of Bloom’s Cognitive Domain:
- Knowledge – Example objective verbs: Describe, recall, recognize, identify, explain, paraphrase, distinguish, give an example, summarize.
- Skills – Example objective verbs: Apply, modify, construct, produce, solve, use, predict, evaluate, devise, design, create.
- Attitude – Example objective verbs: Relate, implement, illustrate, show, defend, apply, critique.
