13. Objectives versus SLOs
Objectives Outcomes
Discrete skills, tools, or content
that a student will master by the
end of the course.
Overarching skill that a student
will be able to demonstrate by the
end of a course.
Require the use of basic thinking
skills such as knowledge,
comprehension, and application
(three lowest levels of Blooms).
Require the use of higher level
thinking skills such as analysis,
synthesis, and evaluation (three
highest levels of Bloom’s).
Do not necessarily result in a
product. Most often are
synthesized or combined to
produce something that measures
an outcome.
Result in a complex product that
can be measured or observed and
assessed.

22. SENARIO
You are dispatched to aid a 74-year-old male
with a history of heart “issues.” Upon arrival, the
scene is safe and you enter the home, you see
the police officer doing compressions on the
elderly man. The man’s wife is present and
states he was just watching TV & she thought
he’d just fallen asleep, because she had just
been speaking with him. As soon as she noticed
he was not breathing she called 911 . . .
THIS COULD BE YOUR FAMILY MEMBER
