Instructional objectives should clearly specify the learner's performance in observable and measurable terms. They indicate the conditions and criteria that will be used to assess the learner's performance. There are several components to writing effective instructional objectives:
1. The objectives must be clearly stated using precise language and terminology.
2. The objectives should specify the learner, the observable behaviors or skills they will demonstrate, and the conditions under which the assessment will take place.
3. The objectives should also indicate the minimum level of performance expected of the learner.
