Goals
Goals are statements about general aims or purposes of education that are broad, long-range intended outcomes and concepts; e.g., “clear communication”, “problem-solving skills”, etc.
e.g. Students will be competent in critical questioning and analysis
General Objectives
• General Objectives: are statements of what you would like to see achieved in the programme.
• They are characterized by– broad generalized statement of an area of curriculum.– usually not behaviourally stated.– large homogenous units of study.
• e.g. Students will gain an understanding of the historical origins of art history
Learning Objectives/Outcomes
• An intended outcome of instruction that has been stated in terms of specific and observable student performance.
• In writing good learning objectives it will be helpful to consider that it is learner centred not teacher centred
e.g. Students should be able to :• Locate and identify features on topographic maps by latitude and
longitude and township and range.• Contour a topographic map and construct a topographic profile.
How Do Goals, General Objectives and Learning Outcomes Differ?
• Goals state the broad, overall purpose of a course in general terms.
• General objectives describe what will be covered in the course or what students will gain
• Learning outcomes are explicit, observable and measurable behaviors that describe what the student will be able to do.
From the School of Film and Television Goal : Students will develop critical discernment and be equipped with the technical, theoretical, and aesthetic means to communicate their insights effectively to an audience.
One of the general objectives drawn from this mission: Students will understand the theoretical and practical elements of sound recording, reproduction and design.
Some of the outcomes drawn from this general objective: Students will be able to effectively edit and process
sound for film and television media.
Students will be able to create technically competent and aesthetically pleasing mixes for those media.
ACTIVITY
• Goals, Objectives or Outcomes?
• In pairs, review the information in the handout and determine which are goals and which are outcomes
Learning Objectives/Outcomes
• A statement which specifies in behavioural terms what a learner will be able to do as a result of instruction
• An intended outcome of instruction that has been stated in terms of specific and observable students performance
Characteristics of Learning Objectives
• They should be measurable• They should be time-bound• They should be learner-centered/oriented.
Therefore, the objectives should state what the learner will be able to do after instruction
• They should describe observable behaviour• They should be specific• They should be well-defined
Learning Objectives
A.The Audience
The Learner
B. The Behaviour
The task or observable action the learner is expected to
perform
C. The Condition/s or Environment
The specific conditions under which learning will occur
D. The Degree or Criterion
The minimum acceptable performance standard
