This document outlines the ABCD method for writing instructional objectives. The ABCD method specifies that objectives should include: A) Audience - who the learners are, B) Behavior - what the learners will be able to do, C) Condition - the context/circumstances of the learning, and D) Degree - how well or to what level the learning must be achieved. Terminal objectives describe what learners can do after instruction, while enabling objectives describe prerequisites. Verbs should be used to specify behaviors involving facts, concepts, rules, or principles. Conditions provide circumstances and degrees specify standards for performance.
