    Study Notes

    Writing Objectives in Three Domains

    • Goals are broad aims or purposes of a course
    • General Objectives are broad statements of learning outcome, typically immeasurable, and don't include specific course content
    • Performance Objectives are precise, measurable statements of observable performance, including specific course content, usually one concept per objective

    A Learning Outcome

    • Focuses on the products of learning, not the process
    • A measurable learning outcome, intended as a result of instruction
    • Represents what students should be able to do at the end of instruction

    Advantages of Objectives

    • Shift in emphasis from what the instructor teaches to what the student should be able to do
    • Help students understand the connection between the course and curriculum
    • Facilitate fair delivery and evaluation
    • Establish a learning sequence
    • Encourage self-assessment
    • Improve learning efficiency and reduce anxiety

    Writing Objectives

    • Objectives should be related to performance or behavioral outcomes
    • Objectives should be specific, clear, and concise
    • Objectives should be observable
    • Objectives should be measurable
    • Objectives should include action words

    Complete the Phrase

    • "Upon completion of this session, the participant will..."

    Conditions

    • Objectives can be applicable "Upon Completion" or "During the Experience"
    • Objectives can be demonstrated "With Assistance" or "Independently"
    • Objectives can be measured by "100% Performance" or "75% Accuracy"
    • Objectives can be measured "One Time" or "Repeated Measures"

    Use Observable Action Words

    • Use action words: List, Maneuver, Design, Explain, Calculate, Position, Provide, Sort, File, Demonstrate
    • Avoid words like Understand, Know, See, Think (which are not observable)

    Classifying Objectives

    • Bloom's taxonomy classifies educational objectives into three domains: Cognitive, Psychomotor, and Affective

    Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (Cognitive Domain)

    • Knowledge (simple)
    • Comprehension
    • Application
    • Analysis
    • Synthesis
    • Evaluation (complex)

    Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (Psychomotor Domain)

    • Perception (simple)
    • Set
    • Guided Response
    • Mechanism
    • Complex Overt Responses
    • Adaptation
    • Origination (complex)

    Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (Affective Domain)

    • Receiving (simple)
    • Responding
    • Valuing
    • Organization
    • Characterization by a value or value set (complex)

    Write Stronger Affective Domain Objectives (Examples)

    • Example 1:*
    • From this: Attend two history seminar sessions. What is the expected participation level?
    • To this: Demonstrate a willingness to learn about women's roles in this period of history by participating in discussions at two seminar sessions.
    • Example 2:*
    • From this: Read textbook assignments on computer technology in schools. How will exposure to these topics alter the student's assessment of technology?
    • To this: Demonstrate interest in at least one topic from the assigned reading by reviewing an outside book or movie that addresses that issue.
    • Example 3:*
    • From this: Join a student organization. What level of commitment is required?
    • To this: Demonstrate leadership skills by volunteering for a committee in a student organization.
    • Example 4:*
    • From this: Describe radiographic evidence of child abuse. (Passive, only between student and faculty)
    • To this: Design an interactive poster or website (with self-tests and case studies) about evidence of child abuse for display in the hospital lounge.
