Goals are broad statements about what the learner will learn, while objectives are more specific statements about the intended outcome of instruction. Terminal learning objectives (TLOs) state the teacher's expectations of student performance at the end of a lesson or unit. Enabling objectives (EOs) are concise statements of steps toward accomplishing the TLO. TLOs specify the condition, task, and standard, while EOs typically only provide the task. The document also defines six levels of learning - knowledge, understanding, application, analysis, evaluation, and creation - and provides examples of each.

2. What is a Goal?
 Goals are broad
statements about
what you hope the
learner will learn.
 Example: Students
will be able to apply
proper grammar to
composition papers.

3. What is objective?
 Objectives are more specific statements
about the intended outcome of instruction.

4. TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVES
& ENABLING OBJECTIVES
 The Terminal Learning Objectives (TLO) is a
statement of the teacher's expectations
of student performance at the end a
specific lesson or unit.
 Enabling Objectives (EOs) are concise
statements of the teacher's expectations
of student performance and might be
considered STEPS in accomplishing the
TLO.

5. Terminal Learning Objectives
 TLO consists of three parts: Condition, Task,
and Standard.
 TLOs are precise, observable, and
measurable.
 TLOs are stated in active terms.
 A TLO may represent a fairly large block
of instruction, but would only rarely range
beyond a single lesson.

6. Enabling Objectives
 They typically provide only tasks.
 They are observable and measurable but
often do not include the
 standard or condition.
 Each one involves a single step within a
TLO.

8. Knowledge
-Exhibit memory of previously learned materials by
recalling facts, terms, basic concepts and answers
 Knowledge of specifics - terminology,
specific facts.
 Knowledge of ways and means of
dealing with specifics - conventions,
trends and sequences, classifications and
categories, criteria, methodology.
 Knowledge of the universals and
abstractions in a field - principles and
generalizations, theories and structures.

9. Understand
-Demonstrate understanding of facts and
ideas by organizing, comparing,
translating, interpreting, giving descriptions
and stating the main ideas.
 Translation
 Interpretation
 Extrapolation

10. Apply
 Using new knowledge. Solve problems in
new situations by applying acquired
knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in
a different way
 Questions like: Which kinds of apples are
best for baking a pie, and why?

11. Analyze
-Examine and break information into parts by
identifying motives or causes. Make
inferences and find evidence to support
generalizations.
 Analysis of elements
 Analysis of relationships
 Analysis of organizational principles

12. Evaluate
 Present and defend opinions by making
judgments about information, validity of
ideas or quality of work based on a set of
criteria.
 1. Judgments in terms of internal
evidence.
 2. Judgments in terms of external criteria.

13. Create
-Compile information together in a different
way by combining elements in a new pattern
or proposing alternative solutions
 Production of a unique communication
 Production of a plan, or proposed set of
operations
 Derivation of a set of abstract relations
