LESSON OBJECTIVE

of this lesson?
–Write
a precise lesson objective addressing
one of the 6 levels of Bloom’s taxonomy
A Teacher’s Task is to Uncover
What Should Be Learned
Stop asking, What activity am I going to do?
What video should I show? What
information should I cover?
Start asking, What do I want my
learn, achieve, accomplish?
students to
Remember learning has everything to do with
what the student accomplishes not what the
teacher covers
Creating Effective Lessons

Ineffective lessons involve the teacher telling the
class what will be covered.

Effective lessons let the students know up front
what they are to master or accomplish at the end
of the lesson.

Effective lessons begin with well-defined goals
and objectives.
What Are Objectives and How
Do They Help Teachers?

Objectives are what a student must achieve to
accomplish what the teacher states is to be
learned, comprehended, or mastered.

Objectives help teachers assign and assess.
Creating Effective Objectives

Consider three important learning levels
when developing student goals and
objectives



Acquisition: What information or skill has been
acquired?
Comprehension: Does the student show an
understanding of what has been learned?
Mastery: Can the student use what has been
comprehended?
How Do You Write
Objectives?

First: Consider the learning level:

–Acquisition:


Students demonstrate knowledge
of information, a skill, or strategy
–Comprehension: Students demonstrate they
understand information, a skill, or strategy
–Mastery: Students demonstrate they can apply
learning, or analyze, synthesize, and evaluate
information they have learned
How Do You Write
Objectives?

Second: Write the Objective
– Consider
objectives from various learning
levels
– Pick a verb that clearly states what you
want the students to do. The verb must be
active (e.g., describe, compare, construct,
explain)
– Complete the sentence (Describe what
happens when 2 molds grow together.)
More Tips for Writing
Objective



Objectives must be written before that lesson
begins. They guide what activities and
materials to use.
The more understandable the sentence
(objective), the greater the chance that
the
student will do what is intended.
Do not use verbs that convey unobservable
behaviors (e.g., understand, enjoy,
appreciate)
Keys to Assignment Success

Structure
– The
assignment must have a consistent and familiar
format that the students can recognize
– The assignment should be posed daily and in a
consistent location

Preciseness
– The
assignment must state clearly and simply what
students are to accomplish

Accomplishment
– Give
the students objectives so they know what they are
responsible for accomplishing and procedures for
meeting those objectives
