2. Behavioral Objectives
• "Intended change brought about in a
learner." (Popham, et. al. 1969)
• "A statement of what students ought to be
able to do as a consequence of
instruction." (Goodlad, in Popham et al.,
1969)
• "Explicit formulations of ways in which
students are expected to be changed by
the educative process." (Bloom, 1956)

4. 1.Good behavioral objectives
are student-oriented. A
behavioral objective, which is
student-oriented, places the
emphasis upon what the
student is expected to do, not
upon what the teacher will do.
5. 2.Good behavioral objectives
describe learning
outcomes. The important thing to
keep in mind here is that we are
interested in what the students will
learn to do. In other words, it is
the learning outcome that is
important, not the learning
activities that should lead to that
outcome.
6. 3.Good behavioral objectives are
clear and understandable. The
first prerequisite for a clear and
understandable objective is
explicitness. It should contain a
clearly stated verb that describes a
definite action or behavior and, in
most cases, should refer to an
object of that action.
7. 4. Good behavioral objectives
are observable. The
evaluation of learning
outcomes hinges on the
ability to observe those
outcomes. The key to an
observable objective is an
observable verb.
