Study Notes
Using Educational Objectives in Preschool and Kindergarten
- The use of behavioral objectives is becoming popular in some preschool programs to identify curriculum goals.
- Behavioral objectives help teachers prioritize valuable goals and define how to measure their achievement.
Definition of Behavioral Objectives
- A behavioral objective is a clear statement that identifies a specific goal deemed important by the teacher.
- It typically consists of a sentence or two that describes the desired behavior when the goal is achieved.
- Behavioral objectives should be based on observable behavior.
- They should cover various areas of learning, not just cognitive domain.
Examples of Behavioral Objectives
- A teacher valuing originality of ideas might write: "When presented with a problem, the child will think of and try out various solutions until finding one that works."
- A teacher prioritizing physical development might specify: "Given one or two trials, the child will be able to catch a large ball at a distance of 5 feet."
