1.What are 2-3 tips to remember when crafting learning objectives? How will you determine if learning objectives have been written effectively and why does this matter?
2.What is the purpose of introducing learning objectives to students? Why is it important to introduce the learning objectives prior to beginning a lesson? Provide two ways to communicate learning objectives to students.
Focus on the Student, Not the Teacher (Audience Focus): The objective should always be phrased from the student's perspective: "The student will be able to..." rather than "I will teach the students..."
Ensure Measurability (Degree Focus): Include a criterion for success (or "degree"). This specifies how well the student must perform to meet the objective. (e.g., "The student will be able to classify the four types of macromolecules with 80% accuracy.")
How to Determine Effectiveness:
An objective is written effectively if it passes the "So What?" Test or the "Assessment Alignment Test."
The So What? Test (Clarity and Action): Can a colleague read the objective and know exactly what the student will be doing and how to observe that behavior? If the objective is ambiguous (e.g., "Students will understand climate change"), it is ineffective.
The Assessment Alignment Test (Measurability): Can the objective be directly translated into a measurable assessment item (a question, a prompt, or a task)? If the objective is "The student will be able to compare and contrast Keynesian and classical economic models," the assessment should require the student to actually compare and contrast those models.
When crafting learning objectives, focus on making them SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) or following the $\text{A-B-C-D}$ model (Audience, Behavior, Condition, Degree). Here are 2-3 essential tips:
Use Action Verbs (Behavior Focus): Objectives must state what the student will do, not what the student will know or understand. Use observable action verbs from Bloom's Taxonomy (e.g., analyze, define, compare, solve, create) rather than vague verbs (e.g., learn, comprehend, appreciate).
