  2. Objective • Upon completion of this presentation, you will be able to: • write effective objectives.

  3. Guiding Questions for LZHS • What do we want students to learn? • How will we know that students have learned it? • How will we respond when students don’t learn? • How will we respond when students already know it? • Course objectives help us answer the first question and guide us in developing assessments to answer the second.

  4. Purpose of Objectives • Objectives answer: • What should students learn? • What is worth learning? • What are the key competencies of the course? • What is the level of the course?

  5. How to Write an Objective • The objective should describe what the learner will be able to do after a period of learning. • Objectives should: • have a measurable, action verb • Verbs tell the student what is to be accomplished. • Verbs tell the teacher what to look for to see if the student has accomplished what the teacher specified.

  6. How to Write an Objective • Step 1: Pick an action verb from the list provided by Bloom’s Taxonomy. • The level of thinking you want from a student in an assignment is based on the level from which you select the verb to use. • Step 2: Complete the sentence. • The more understandable the sentence, the greater the chance that the student will do what is intended.

  7. Example • Step 1: Pick an action verb from the list provided by Bloom’s Taxonomy • List (from the Knowledge level of Bloom’s Taxonomy) • Step 2: Complete the sentence. • the parts of the IPDE process • Objective: • List the parts of the IPDE process.

  8. Example • Step 1: Pick an action verb from the list provided by Bloom’s Taxonomy • Translate (from the Comprehension level of Bloom’s Taxonomy) • Step 2: Complete the sentence. • the words in a sentence. • Objective: • Translate the words in a sentence.

  11.

  12. Example • Step 1: Pick an action verb from the list provided by Bloom’s Taxonomy • Rate (from the Evaluation level of Bloom’s Taxonomy) • Step 2: Complete the sentence. • the works of art in their use of complementary colors. • Objective: • Rate the works of art in their use of complementary colors.
