TOPIC:LEARNING OBJECTIVES
AND OUTCOMES
ASSIGNED BY: DR. AMJAD ALI
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
 learning objective is a “statement
of what students will be able to do
when they have completed
instruction” (Arreola, 1998, p. 2).
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
 Clearly defined objectives form
the foundation for selecting appropriate
content, learning activities and evaluation
plans. Learning objectives allow you to:
 Plan the sequence for instruction, allocate
time to topics, assemble materials and plan
class outlines.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
 Develop a guide to teaching allowing you to
plan different instructional methods for
presenting different parts of the content.
(e.g. small group discussions of a common
misconception).
 Facilitate various evaluation activities,
evaluating students, evaluating instruction
and even evaluating the curriculum.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
 LEARNING OUTCOMES are statements that
describe significant and essential learning
that learners have achieved and can reliably
demonstrate at the end of a course or
program
 Learning outcomes are statements of what a
student is expected to know, understand or
be able to demonstrate after completion of a
process of learning
 Objectives are intentions in measureable
terms and are stated as intentions of the
tutor
 Learning outcomes are what result from a
learning process.learning outcomes should
specify the minimum acceptable standard for
a student to be able to pass a module or
course.
COMPONENTS OF LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
 A Learning Objective has three major
components:
 A description of what the student will be able to
DO.
 The conditions under which the student will
perform the task.
 The criteria for evaluating student performance
CHARACTERISTICS OF LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
 Objectives are
 1.Related to intended outcomes, NOT
processes.
 2.Specific and measurable, NOT broad and
intangible.
 3.Concerned with students, NOT teachers.
Why use appropriate learning
objectives?
 Learning objectives are useful for Selection
of content and instructional materials.
 2.Development of instructional strategies
through instructor ingenuity.
 3.Development and selection of appropriate
assessment measures.
 4.Guiding student efforts in the learning
processes (communicating to students what
they are expected to learn)
Learning objectives should
SMART attributes
How to write
learning objectives
:
 1.Include a definite, measurable verb that
signifies a demonstrable learning outcome.
 2.Make sure that each objective contains an
intended performance/behavior, conditions for
demonstrating competence, and a criterion/degree
of performance.
 3.Strive for higher order thinking (analysis,
synthesis and evaluation levels) when applicable
 Another useful tip for learning objectives is to
use behavioral verbs that are observable and
measurable. Fortunately, Bloom’s taxonomy
provides a list of such verbs
