1. PLAN YOUR LESSON


INTRODUCTION
Training is a systematic process which aims to improve the knowledge, skill,
and attitude of an individual. For all training activities a clearly defined
purpose is necessary. As a trainer one must understand the intention of the
training and the outcome to be achieved. Systematically planned work will
yield a successful result. An Instructor, who is responsible for imparting
quality training and capacity building of skilled trainees need to understand
the intention of teaching a lesson and the outcome to be achieved in order to
plan the instruction systematically.

Instruction is a goal oriented pre-planned teaching process. Planning of a


lesson should be one of the most practical and constant concerns of all
Instructors. Planning is thinking, bringing sound general ideas upon a
particular situation. The better one thinks comprehensively and will be able to
plan systematically and successfully! This topic aims to describe the
importance of planning a lesson, simple format of a lesson plan, various
components and steps involved in preparing a lesson plan, advantages of
planning a lesson, and few models of lesson plan and demo plan.

IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING A LESSON


Lesson is a body of instruction, in which the learning material to be presented
must be highly structured to ensure active participation of the learners. The
reason why you should plan a lesson systematically is that it allows you to
think about the problem for more comprehensively and discriminately, so that
you can produce a better practical result.

The important reasons of planning a lesson are:


 It ensures you the right allocation of teaching time to each topic.
 It allows you to bring your subject matter up-to-date.
 It assures you the intended outcome through the well written
objectives.
 It builds you to revise and modify the teaching material in the light of
previous performance and past experience gained
 It helps you to prevent unnecessary overlapping of subjects, lessons,
and repetition of information.
 It makes you think that each lesson can be prepared as part of a
logical progression.

Moreover, adequate planning boosts your self-confidence in your ability to


teach in an interesting, effective and efficient way!

LESSON AND LESSON PLAN


‘Lesson’ is defined as a period of instruction in which learners are taught
about a particular subject. Lesson is a smallest part of a unit of instruction
prepared after analyzing the syllabus. A lesson should not be too much, too
less for a single sitting class. It must be sufficient to understand and digest.
‘Lesson Plan’ is a detailed description of the individual lesson that a teacher
plans to teach on a scheduled day. Lesson plan contains the important
information to be imparted about a lesson in the class and the other activities
to be followed during presentation. A lesson plan traditionally includes the
name of the lesson, the date of the lesson, the objective the lesson focuses on,
the materials that will be used, and a summary of all the activities that will be
used. Each lesson plan must have link with previous lesson and next lesson.
While there are many formats for a lesson plan followed by Herbart, Glover,
Fuller, Morrison, McMurray, Dewey, Bloom, Hunter, etc. most lesson plans
contain some or all of these elements, typically in this order:

 Title of the lesson


 The amount of time required to complete the lesson
 A list of required materials
 A list of objectives
 Review of previous lesson and previous knowledge
 Motivation
 Relevant visual aids for effective teaching
 Subject matter, information points, and hints reference to the contents
 Summary, which is an opportunity for a teacher to wrap-up the
discussion and for the learners to pose unanswered questions
 Test by which the effectiveness of teaching and the understanding level
of the learners will be known

Johann Friedrich Herbart (1776 -1841) was a German philosopher,


psychologist and educational reformer noted for his contributions in laying
the foundations of scientific study of education, gave new ideas about the
teaching process. He meant that the knowledge imparted to the learners
should be implemented into action in the actual life of the learners. Influenced
by the educational theories of Herbart, Charles A. McMurray (1857-1929) and
Frank W. McMurray (1862 -1936) commonly known as the ‘McMurrays’ (who
made a remarkable contribution to curriculum development and teacher
education in US), strongly recommended Herbart’s instruction that, ‘a good
teachers must plan and prepare well before teaching’.
Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA 3

Herbart’s method of lesson plan consists of five steps: (1) Preparation (2)
Presentation (3) Comparison and Association (4) Generalization, and (5)
Application. Though the five step method emphasis important features of
good teaching, but it is not applicable as a whole to all teaching situations
and at all levels of instruction. In the present scenario one has to give
importance to the teacher’s creativity in planning, innovation in teaching, and
time factor, a lesson plan can be a simple one!

THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF A LESSON PLAN


A simple method of planning a lesson is ‘four-step’ lesson plan method. The
major components of a lesson plan are:

(1) Preparation
(2) Presentation
(3) Application, and
(4) Testing

Step – 1: Preparation
The first step of a lesson plan is preparation. Preparation includes both
instructor’s preparation as well as the learner’s preparation. You must
prepare yourself to state the objectives clearly. The duration of quality time of
teaching depends on clearly stated objectives. If the objectives are not clear,
the teaching time may exceed more than the allotted time. The learner’s
participation can be invited by asking introductory questions, and thought
provoking questions. You may ask questions to link the learner’s previous
knowledge to the present topic. You can motivate the learners by telling the
purpose of learning of the particular lesson with suitable examples. In
preparation stage you must remember following points:
 Precise title of the lesson
 Instructional objectives to be achieved after instruction
 Essential teaching aids
 Create willingness to learn by appropriate motivation
 Review previous knowledge to connect the present lesson
 Selection of teaching methods
 Planning for learner participation for active learning
 Assignment to be given
 Over all time required for teaching and
 Feedback activities
Proper planning leads to success. Instructor has the responsibility to improve
the knowledge, skill, and attitude of the learner. You have to mould the
trainees from unskilled level to skilled level. The success of moulding
proficient and competent trainees depends on your experience in teaching
4 Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA

learning processes. The successful planning in a teaching learning processes


also includes planning the practical or shop floor activities in addition to the
classroom activities. As an instructor you must give importance to:
 Workshop or practical lab, where the practical skill will be performed
 Arrangement of required tools, equipments, and materials needed
 Checking the working condition of the equipments
 Selection of work area and allotment of place for trainees to perform
practical work
 Issuing of necessary tools, equipment and raw materials to the trainees
 Instructional materials such as information sheets, assignment sheet,
job sheet, operation sheet required
 Safety procedure to be followed in case of practical / machining work
 Evaluation process to check the trainee’s performance
Step – 2: Presentation
In the preparation step the learners are prepared to learn a lesson. In the
presentation step you should present the information in sequence, simple to
complex. As per the objectives you must present the topics, developments,
information points, hints step by step in a systematic and effective way. You
should teach the lesson by associating the present information with the
subject or lesson already taught. If it is a first lesson, you can relate the
previous or basic knowledge which they have. You should confirm whether the
learners are following properly. Eye contact is important. See all the faces and
teach to the whole class interestingly. The more the stimulus, the more will be
the response. Stimulate the learners by giving examples, showing models, and
other visual aids. Use visual aids in the appropriate time. Do not show the
visual aids at the end after completing your lecture. Ask questions time to
time. Questioning is not only at the end of the teaching process. It can be at
all the stages. By asking questions, with their response you can get
satisfaction that the learners are following what you are teaching! If required,
you can put more efforts to make them understand the subject well, by
explaining the subject more comprehensive and using visual aids. The
learner’s ability to understand the subject depends on the effective
presentation skill of an instructor. So prepare well to present well! For
effective presentation, teaching practice guidelines are listed in the Appendix
C which may be referred.
Step – 3: Application
The third step- application is the most important step in teaching learning
process. As an efficient communicator you might have presented the lesson
or demonstration well. But it is important to know the effectiveness of
teaching. To what extent the intended outcome is achieved. Unless your
teaching makes the learners to understand and gain thorough knowledge, the
Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA 5

purpose of teaching will fail. Learners learn at different rates. All will not have
same capacity to learn. Some learners will understand the subject well and
store the knowledge gained in their permanent memory. Whereas some of
them may store in their cache memory, in which they will forget as soon as
you finish your teaching! Therefore it is your responsibility to check the
learners how much they followed your presentation, and learnt new
knowledge. After presentation it is desirable to provide opportunity to apply
the learners’ knowledge which they have gained. If theory, ask simple and
direct questions, probing questing, connected to the lesson. If practical
demonstration, you may ask the learners to imitate the demonstration. If the
learners are given opportunity to apply the knowledge and skill gained, they
will not forget easily the subject you taught. Your presentation will also be
successful!
Step – 4: Testing
The fourth step- testing is considered as the most essential one in any
teaching learning situation. The quality and quantity of achievement is
determined at this step. Test is a tool to evaluate the knowledge as well as the
skill level of a learner. Evaluation is a process to find out to what extend the
instructional objectives are achieved by the learners. Teaching or training one
must be meaningful only when the learner has completely acquired the
intended knowledge and skill. Therefore, as an instructor your responsibility
is not only effective teaching but also to determine the abilities attained by the
learners. The test may be written, oral or performance. It is important to you
to know how much your teaching is successful, and also to the learners where
they are standing in their class. After the test, evaluation must be done.
Through evaluation you must try to bring the average and below average
students to above average and excellent levels.

THE MINOR COMPONENTS OF A LESSON PLAN


The major components Preparation, Presentation, Application, and Testing
have minor components that are explained further:
(1) Title
Indicate the lesson heading or title clearly.
(2) Objectives
Objectives are intended outcome of a teaching learning process. Intended
outcome is, after teaching a lesson what the learner will be able to achieve.
For a lesson, there must be three or four objectives which covers the ‘must
know knowledge’ of the subject matter. If the objectives are more, the matter
to be taught may be too much for the learner and if the objectives are too few,
there may not be sufficient materials for the Instructor to impart during the
6 Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA

period. To teach a theory lesson, 30 to 40 minutes may be allotted.


Continuous theory teaching leads to mental fatigue and reduce in the rate of
learning among the learners. For a practical demonstration, required time
may be allotted.
While stating the objectives, ambiguous statements must be avoided.
Ambiguous statements are the terms which are not clear and not measurable.
For example if you write an objective as: at the end of the lesson the learner
will be able to know the subject, or understand the lesson, the terms
mentioned are not measurable. To what extent he knows; how much he
understands? Objectives must be written with measurable terms. For a theory
lesson, the Instructional Objectives are- the learner will be able to: Define
Ohm’s law, Explain the principles of projection, Differentiate first angle and
third angle projection, Describe topology, etc. For practical skill
demonstration plan, the Behavioural Objectives may be written as: Create a
document, Type a letter, Stitch a garment, etc. according to your trade.
Objectives should be stated clearly in terms of what the learner is expected to
learn from a lesson. Following chapters illustrates proper way of writing
objectives and use of action verbs in detail.

(3) Teaching Aids


Senses are the gateway of knowledge. Learning becomes easier, interesting
and deeper, when multiple senses of the learner are employed. In a teaching
learning process, teaching aids plays very important role to create interest,
make the learners to understand difficult subject. You may prepare and use
visual aids such as models, pictures, charts, etc. and other objects to make
the learning environment more realistic. Use of charts, models, films, and
projector slide shows would help the learner to see besides listening. The
items that you have selected and planned to use in the classroom to support
the presentation must be listed in the lesson plan.
(4) Introduction
Method of introducing the new lesson in the class must be written briefly.
Depending on the subject matter of the lesson and its relation to previous
lesson, you have to use this as a link between the known to unknown. It is
the stage that effective motivation is done to insist in the learner and keen
desire to the new lesson. Introduction does not have to be a long one. A few
relevant points properly developed with realistic examples, which the learner
can understand would serve the purpose. The success or failure of the
presentation of a lesson would be a large extent depends in the manner in
which the introduction to the lesson or preparation of the learner is done.
Under review and motivation only brief notes are to be written in the lesson
plan with the help of which you should be in a position to explain while
presenting the lesson.
Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA 7

(5) Review
The fact that the learners are physically present in the class does not
necessarily mean that they are mentally ready to receive your presentation.
Before teaching a new lesson to the class, you should make the learners to be
ready or prepared to receive, the new lesson. As part of the preparation, one of
the first things you have to do in a class is to discuss the important topics of
the previous lesson. Here you can ask questions about the previous lessons to
make sure that the learners have remembered what you taught in the
previous class. You may tell the importance of present lesson with previous
lesson by linking the main points. If the lesson is a first lesson in a class, in
that case instead of linking previous lesson, you can review the previous
knowledge gained by the learners.

(6) Motivation
Motivation is creating willingness. As an instructor, you must create interest
and willingness towards learning by telling the purpose of learning with
suitable examples. Method of creating interest in the minds of learner to learn
the new lesson must be written briefly.

(7) Presentation
After preparation, presentation of the subject matter of the lesson is to be
followed. In a lesson plan format, the presentation stage consists of three
columns namely, Topic, Information Point, and Spot Hints. By referring the
objectives which are stated in the preparation step, each topic must be
explained briefly in a logical sequence. Brief hints, formula, symbols may be
added in the hints column. You need to write the information in brief.
Detailed explanation may be given in the information sheet or notes of lesson
which you need to prepare for each lesson plan.
(8) Topics
The important points of the lesson as planned are to be developed with
catchwords written clearly so that you can refer and pickup at a glance.
Complete information need not be written under the topic column. Selected
topics according to the lesson to be taken so as to reach the aim or fulfill the
objectives of the lesson. This has to be written in sequential order.

(9) Information Points


You need to write the must know information of each topic properly.
Information may be written in the space provided in brief, step by step
procedure with reference to the objectives and topics.
8 Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA

(10) Spot Hints


You need to enter spot hints in the appropriate place. Write hints such as
codes, symbols or simple diagrams to attract the learner’s attention and make
the instruction as effective as possible. Hints can be given through charts,
models or abbreviations that can make you convenient or familiar, that all
your efforts are directed towards better teaching. For instruction at a
particular stage of development of the lesson a chart is to be shown, may
indicate in the hints column as ‘Chart’. If a question is to be asked during the
presentation, the indication may be ‘Question’ or a key word as the entire plan
is made and used by you in the presentation stage. Display of teaching aids in
an appropriate time is very important.

(11) Application
Learning takes place only when the learner has an opportunity to apply the
knowledge to various situations. Necessary time for applications of knowledge
may not be available in the class during presentation. Hence the manner in
which such opportunities are provided in respect of the subject matter
covered in the lesson must be stated in the application stage. There is a
separate step for test and assignment, so avoid asking complicated questions
at this stage. Ask simple and direct questions related to the topics. This is an
opportunity for the learners to answer the questions and showing their level of
understanding. You may clarify the learners’ doubt. Interact with them. After
questioning, remember to Receive the answer (yes, yes, nodding your head,
etc.), Reward the answer (good, very good, etc.), and Repeat the answer.

(12) Summary
After the presentation, and interaction, you may feel good that your learners
followed your instruction, and understand the lesson. Now this is a time to
sum up all the important topics of the lesson taught in the class. In the
summary time, you must emphasis and reinforce the points, which are
important to the lesson. Main topics of the lesson may be written under
summary or you can recapitulate the main points of the lesson.
(13) Test
At this step, comprehensive questions about the lesson taken should be asked
to the learners. This can be done either by oral or in written form.

(14) Assignment
Series of questions about the lesson already taken are to be written under
assignment. Related problems, exercises, drawing of sketches including
various types of questions like objective and subjective types can be given as
separate assignment sheet.
Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA 9

(15) Next Lesson


Title of the next lesson to be taken has to be mentioned under this heading. A
brief insight into the next lesson must be given to help the learners to think
ahead of the subject and make them to understand better.

ADVANTAGES OF PREPARING A LESSON PLAN


A Lesson Plan which you prepare cherishes many benefits to you as well as to
the learners. The advantages are:
To the Instructor:
1. It forms as a record of teaching-learning activity
2. It assists you to place the information in sequence
3. Help you to get confidence, as you need not always depend on your
memory!
4. Facilitate you to select and use teaching aids at appropriate time
during presentation
5. It serves you to organize complete teaching-learning activity in a
smooth way and manage the entire class activities within the
stipulated time
6. It assures you that all the points are covered about the lesson taught
in the class
7. Helps to maintain the learner’s interest till the finishing of the class
because they are understanding the subject correctly and also they are
getting time for interaction
8. It also helps in imparting uniform instructions in different classes at
different timings
To the Learner:
1. Learners are getting interest in thinking and learning more and more
by attending a planned instruction by an instructor
2. Learners are getting confidence and satisfaction in the subject what
instructor has presented by systematic and sequence order
3. Serves the purpose to meet the requirement of learners at different
levels
4. Expected standard of knowledge is being acquired because instructor
has taught the lesson in a planned manner
A FEW DRAWBACKS
1. Instructor becomes ineffective if the lesson plans are not revised to
accommodate innovative techniques and new information
2. Lesson plan must be used as an instructional material to refer the
systematically written objectives. It must be a supplement and support to
an instructor. You should not completely depend on it.
3. Preparation of lesson plan for the entire syllabus is a time consuming
work.

CONCLUSION
A simple format of a Lesson Plan which is described in this chapter is a
simple procedure applicable to any instructional situation. It is logical to
proceed by first gaining the attention and interest of the learner in a teaching
process. When this is accomplished, then presenting the information to the
learner, providing opportunity to practice the information learnt, and finally
determining what the learner has actually learnt, is the natural sequence of
teaching. Once a Lesson Plan is developed, it may be used repeatedly with
slight changes to accommodate individual or group differences, and
technological changes. Periodically the Lesson Plan should be renewed, so
that the obsolete and old items can be removed and new developments and
changes can be accommodated. Lesson Plan can be modified according to the
level of the learners in the class, educational or training institute’s
requirements and also personal interests of an instructor.

2. WRITING OBJECTIVES FOR A LESSON PLAN


INTRODUCTION
While preparing a Lesson Plan, Instructors often tend to write objectives as -
‘What is Ohm’s Law?’; ‘How many types of topologies are there?’;
‘Introduction to Computer’, etc., Which are not correct! The objectives must
be written in behavioural terms starting with action verb. This chapter will
guide the Instructors to state the objectives precisely. In the Preparation Step
of a lesson plan, objectives plays very important role as the duration of quality
time of teaching depends on clearly stated objectives. If the objectives are not
clear, the intended outcome cannot be achieved. A precisely stated objective
often determines the nature of training method, media and process of testing.
Learning activities are classified under acquisition of knowledge, development
of skill, and modification of attitude and habits. For effective implementation
of the training programme, and in the context of instructional design,
objectives play a very important role.
This chapter aims to describe the difference between ambiguous statements
and performance statements, illustrates the systematic methods of writing
instructional objectives which are used in lesson plan and demo plan. The
importance of using action verbs for writing the objectives is also emphasized.
The taxonomy of educational objectives classification which is useful for
writing instructional objectives in behavioural terms is briefed with examples.
The terms goal, aim, and objectives which are interchangeable and used as
synonyms to each other, are distinguished with simple examples to help you
to state the objectives clearly without any ambiguity!

AMBIGUITY WITH GOAL, AIM, AND OBJECTIVES!


The three Musketeers……!
Every training course and a teaching learning process will have ‘Goal’, ‘Aim’,
and ‘Objectives’. Are the three words same or interchangeable? No! In the
training parlance these three terms have separate meanings. It is necessary to
understand the usage of the terms- ‘goal’, ‘aim’, and ‘objective’ without any
ambiguity. The term ‘goal’ is much wider than the terms ‘aim’ and ‘objective’,
although they are often found synonymously used. It may be seen in the field
of education that, hierarchical distinction is maintained in the usage of these
terms. An ambiguous statement can be interpreted with more than one
meaning or may confuse without any meaning. Unless you have a clear,
unambiguous objective both you and your learner will reach a place where do
not know! (Robert Mager.1975). If the objectives are not clear, as a trainer you
44 Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA

have to waste your time, your learners’ time, and probably a considerable
amount of your employer’s money.

The variance of word meanings in natural language has always posed


problems for those who attempt to construct an unambiguous and consistent
statement. It is often the case that a written statement could be interpreted in
several ways by different individuals, thus rendering the statement subjective
rather than objective. ‘Goal’ stands for ‘broad and ultimate category’, ‘aim’
refers to ‘a more specific set of purposes’; ‘Objectives’ however, are ‘the most
precisely defined ends in view’. The specification of objectives is essential for
the implementation of any programme or project. For all training activities it
is essential that there is a clearly defined purpose. Institution, learners, and
trainers should understand the intention of the training and the outcomes to
be achieved.

Following illustration will present a clear distinction between Goal, Aim, and
Objective.

Fig. 1 Fig.2 Fig.3


(Goal-broad ambition) (Aim- set the target) (Objective- achieve the target)

GOAL
Goals are broad, generalized statements about what is to be learned.
Educational goals are general aim or purpose of education that is stated as a
broad, long-range outcome to work toward. Goals are used primarily in policy
making and general programme planning. The terms ‘goals’ and ‘objectives’
are sometimes used interchangeably. This is wrong. They are different. Goals
are broad and sometimes difficult to directly measure. Goals help us to focus
on the big and important picture.
Eg.1: The right of children to free and compulsory education is the main
goal of Right to Education act.
Eg.2: In instructor training, the trainees develop attitude to become a
competent instructors.
Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA 45

AIM
Aim is the general declaration of intent that gives direction to a programme. In
other words, aim may be defined as an answer to the question of the type
‘what for a programme of personality development undertaken?’ and objective
as an answer to the question of the type ‘what will be achieved if the
programme is completed?’. “In educational discussions and in language
teaching, a hierarchical distinction is sometimes made between ‘goals’ as a
very broad and ultimate category, ‘aims’ as a more specific set of purposes,
and ‘objectives’ as the most precisely defined ends in view which can often be
described in terms of behavioural outcomes” according to Stern.H.H (1983).

Eg.1: To train clerical staff to use the Computer.


Eg.2: To develop proficiency in the basic skills of reading, writing, and
arithmetic.
The purpose of the aim is to draw attention to the training being provided,
and communicating the intention to a target audience that will include
learners, management, and clients.

OBJECTIVE
Objective is a point which one aims at reaching after a certain amount of
learning experience. Clearly defined objectives would not only help the
teachers and learners to understand what exactly they are supposed to do,
but also provide the means for evaluating their own achievements. The
statement of objectives is therefore expected to be specific, observable and
presented in performance terms. For example, achieving national integration
is one of the goals of education. But how this goal is going to be achieved is
required to be spell out through objectives!

Goal: To become a professional tailor


Aim: To teach / to learn stitching of garment
Objectives: 1. Take proper measurement.
2. Draft paper pattern
3. Cut the material
4. Stitch the garment

AMBIGUOUS STATEMENTS OF OBJECTIVES


In training, one of the important tasks of an instructor is to conceive clearly
the learners’ expected terminal behaviour. What one conceives clearly can also
be expressed clearly. The success of the teaching process depends on stating
the specific learning outcome – the objectives! While writing the objective
statement, you should remember that it should not make any ambiguity.
Words representing either vague or ambiguous concepts that cannot be
46 Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA

precisely measured must be avoided. Ambiguous terms: knows, understands,


appreciates, grasps, enjoys, and believes, etc. must be avoided.
For example, following statements can be interpreted in more than one way.
This type of statements must be avoided.

 Learners will understand objectives. (What is ‘understand’? Will


learners be expected to say what objectives are, or just name the
components, or must they be able to write objectives?)
 The trainee will have knowledge about photocopy machine. (What
is ‘knowledge about’? Do they just place the paper and take copies,
or they are skillful to operate the machine including multi copy, size
adjustment, and also maintenance?)
 The trainee will appreciate the benefit of yoga. (What is meant by
‘appreciate’? Quite a number of people appreciate the benefit of
yoga, but fail to do it!)
 The trainee knows stitching. (What are the limits of ‘knowing’? do
they know measuring, drafting, cutting, etc.?)
These examples are vague and could be interpreted by ten different learners in
ten different ways. It is the responsibility of an instructor to state clearly what
the trainee will be able to do on completion of training.

EXAMPLES OF PERFORMANCE STATEMENTS


As described in the following examples, objectives must be written in
performance related terms with appropriate action verbs.

1) The Assistant will be able to list the principles of noting and drafting.
2) The Section Officer will be able to manage the records of his office.
3) The architectural assistant will be able to draw a layout of the
building.
4) The trainee will be able to name the parts of a computer system.
5) The mechanic will be able to replace the tyre of a two wheeler.
6) The electrician will be able to connect the wire.
7) The trainee will be able to create charts for available data using MS
Excel.
8) The machine operator will be able to drill the job as required.
9) The Income Tax Inspectors will be able to list modes of tax recovery.
10) The trainee electrician will be able to explain the function of a
transformer.
11) The fitter will be able to weld a job.
12) The Storekeepers will be able to arrange the items of his store in order.

Words in bold clearly indicate the actions required of the learner.

EXPERTS’ VIEW ON OBJECTIVES


‘An objective is a description of a performance you want learners to be able to
exhibit before you consider them competent. An objective describes an
intended result of instruction, rather than the process of instruction itself’
Robert Mager (1975).
‘A fruitful way to state instructional objectives is in terms of the types of
outcomes we expect from our teaching. The focus should be on the learning
outcomes attained by the students. The objectives should direct attention to
the student and to the types of behaviour he/she is expected to exhibit as a
result of the learning experience. Our focus shifts from the teacher to the
student and from the learning process to the learning outcomes’ Norman
E.Gronlund (1978).

‘A performance objective is a detailed description of what students will be able


to do when they complete a unit of instruction. It is also referred to as a
behavioural objective or an instructional objective’ Dick and Carey (1978).

From the above extracts of the experts’ views, it is obvious that all are
considering objective as an ‘intended learning outcome’.

METHODS OF WRITING OBJECTIVES


An objective is a precise, clear statement of what the learners will be able to
do at the end of a learning event. A few methods are followed to state the
objective clearly.

1. Mager’s Method
2. SMART Method
3. ABCD Method
4. Gagné and Briggs Method

MAGER’S METHOD
As per Robert Mager (1975), for stating objectives there are three elements to
be included, or at least considered:
1) A statement of the performance to be achieved by the trainee. This
enables the acquisition of knowledge and the development of skills to
be focused only on what is essential.
2) A statement of the conditions under which it is being done. This
enables the learning event and assessment to include conditions
needed for effective transfer to job performance.
3) A statement of the minimum standards of performance a trainee must
attain. This enables us to check accurately if the trainee has achieved
the objective. Equally important, it tells the trainee what is expected to
be achieved.
48 Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA

The first element ‘Performance’ is a very important element of all the objective
statements; whereas the other two may be added subject to the need of
specificity. This means that the objective statement must include the
performance to be carried out by the learner. If necessary the conditions
under which that performance must be carried out should also be included.
Similarly the acceptable standards of performance a learner must attain, if it
needs to be specified may also be added.
Examples:
1. Performance:
a. The trainee will be able to type a business letter.
b. The trainee will be able to list the advantages of internet.
2. Performance with Condition:
a. The accountant will be able to calculate the revised pay using
the fitment table.
b. The DTP operator will be able to modify the design with the help
of the latest user friendly software.
3. Performance with Conditions and Standards:
a. The data entry operator will be able type 40 wpm without error.
b. The police officer will be able to fire 5 rounds in 3 seconds from
his service revolver on a 25 yard range.

THE ‘SMART’ METHOD


A simple mnemonic used to set objectives is called SMART objectives. Peter
Ferdinand Drucker (1954) widely considered to be ‘the Father of Modern
Management’ in US used this simple term in his seminal work: ‘The Practice
of Management’ to set objectives.
SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time bound.

SMART often called as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in project


management, employee performance management and personal development.
Later, George T. Doran (1981) used in his work: ‘There's a S.M.A.R.T. way to
write management's goals and objectives. Paul J. Meyer (2003) also described
the characteristics of S.M.A.R.T. goals in his book: Attitude is Everything.

1. Specific – Objectives should specify exactly what the learner will be able to achieve.
2. Measurable - Should be able to measure whether you are meeting the objectives or not.
3. Achievable - Are the objectives you set, achievable and attainable?
4. Realistic – Can you realistically achieve the objectives with the resources you have?
5. Time bound – When do you want to achieve the set objectives?

THE ‘ABCD’ METHOD


One of the easiest ways to write objective is to use the ABCD model! This was
developed in the 1970s by the National Special Media Institutes, US. The
Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA 49

ABCD method of writing objectives is an excellent starting point for writing


objectives (Heinich R, et al., 1996). Heinich suggested that well written
objectives have four parts. They call these parts the ABCD's of instructional
objectives. The A stands for Audience, the B represents Behaviour, the C
stands for Condition, and the D for Degree of Accuracy. Each instructional
objective is written in sentence format and should contain the A, B, C and D.
Let's take a closer look at each of these.
As per the ABCD method, the objective need not be written in the order of
ABCD, but it should contain all of these elements.
(1) Audience
Describes the intended learner or end user of the instruction.
E.g 1: The skilled trainees will be able to....
E.g.2: The participants of this workshop…

(2) Behaviour
This describes the learner’s capability. It must be observable and
measurable. The ‘behaviour’ can include demonstration of knowledge or
skills in any of the domains of learning: cognitive, psychomotor,
affective, or interpersonal
E.g.1: ..… will be able to write a report…
E.g.2: …will be able to describe the steps…

(3) Condition
Under what circumstances or context will the learning occur?
Conditions describe the relevant factors associated with the desired
performance.
Equipment or tools that may be utilized in completion of the behaviour.
Environmental conditions may also be included
E.g.1: …after observing the demonstration ..…
E.g.2.: …run 100 meters in a track / up a hill …

(4) Degree
States the standard for acceptable performance (time, accuracy,
proportion, quality, etc) how well will the behaviour need to be
performed?
E.g.1: … without error.
E.g.2: …within 60 seconds.

This is often called the ABCD's of objectives, a nice mnemonic aid!

THE ‘GAGNE AND BRIGGS’ METHOD


The Gagné and Briggs (1979) format for writing instructional objectives
consists of five components. They are:
50 Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA

1. Situation
2. Learned Capability
3. Object
4. Action
5. Tools and Other Constraints

The components of the Gagné and Briggs format match Mager's condition,
performance, and criterion, only to add the object, content of the learning
activity as well as the tools used. Gagné and Briggs were among the early
developers of the concept of Instructional Systems.
Some examples of Gagné & Briggs objectives:

Given a battery, light bulb, socket, and pieces of wire (situation),


demonstrate (learned capability) the making of an electronic circuit
(object) by connecting wires (action) to battery and socket (tools) and
testing the lighting of the bulb (action).
In response to a question (situation), the learner will state (learned
capability) orally (action) three technological trends that will affect the
future capabilities of the army (object). The answer is to be completed in
three minutes (constraints/tools).
Though there are different methods of stating objectives exist, to write
instructional objectives in behavioural terms, in Lesson Plan and Demo Plan,
it is apt to use the ‘SMART’ method.

THE TAXONOMY OF EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES


The taxonomy provides a classification of educational objectives that is similar
to the classification scheme used for plants and animals. The area of
education has seen the emergence of a number of taxonomies specifying the
educational objectives. One of the most helpful guides in identifying and
defining instructional objectives is the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives,
developed by the committees under the direction of Bloom (1956) and
Krathwohl (1964). The taxonomy of educational objectives consists of a set of
general and specific categories that covers all possible learning outcomes that
might be expected from instruction. The classification system was developed
by psychologists, teachers, and test experts for use in curriculum
development, teaching, and testing. The learning outcomes are best described
in terms of changes in learners’s behaviour. Therefore the classification is
useful to teachers, who are attempting to state their instructional objectives in
behavioural terms.
The classified three domains of educational activities are:
Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA 51

o Cognitive: mental ability (Knowledge)


o Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (Attitude)
o Psychomotor: motor or physical skills (Skills)
The Cognitive domain includes those objectives that emphasize intellectual
outcomes, such as ‘the recall or recognition of knowledge and the
development of intellectual abilities’; The Affective domain includes those
objectives that emphasize ‘feeling, emotion, interest, attitudes, values, and the
development of appreciations and adequate adjustment’; and The
Psychomotor domain includes those objectives that emphasize ‘physical
skills, such as, writing, typing, stitching, swimming, etc.

A complete classification system was developed for the Cognitive and Affective
domains by the Bloom and Krathwohl committees. Though the form of
Psychomotor domain was not universally accepted by the academic scholars
as a ‘complete classification’, Simpson (1972), Harrow (1972), Dave (1975)
prepared the major components of Psychomotor domain for various
instructional strategies.

Cognitive Domain:
The cognitive domain (Bloom, 1956) involves knowledge and the development
of intellectual abilities. This includes the recall or recognition of specific facts,
procedural patterns, and concepts that serve in the development of mental
abilities. There are six major categories, which are listed in order, starting
from the simplest behaviour to the most complex. The categories can be
thought of as degrees of difficulties. That is, the first ones must normally be
mastered before the next ones can take place. The categories of Cognitive
domain are: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis,
and Evaluation.

Affective Domain:
The affective domain (Krathwohl, Bloom, Masia, 1973) includes the manner in
which we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation,
enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes. The five major categories are listed
from the simplest behaviour to the most complex: Receiving, Responding,
Valuing, Organization, and Internalizing values

Psychomotor Domain:
The psychomotor domain (Simpson, 1972) includes physical movement,
coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas. Development of these skills
requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance,
procedures, or techniques in execution. The seven major categories are listed
from the simplest behaviour to the most complex: Perception, Set, Guided
response, Mechanism, Complex response, Adaptation, and Origination.
52 Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA

The ‘other two popular versions of psychomotor domain’ components are:


Harrow's (1972): Reflex movements , Fundamental movements , Perception,
Physical abilities , Skilled movements , No discursive communication
Dave's (1975): Imitation, Manipulation , Precision, Articulation,
Naturalization
Anderson (2001) who was associated with Bloom and his committee, revised
the cognitive domain components and made some changes. The changes are
the names in the six categories from noun to verb forms, and slightly
rearranging them as: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analysing,
Evaluating, Creating. The ‘revised taxonomy’ is considered as a more active
form of thinking.
The components of the three domains Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor
will guide us to choose the educational activities related to Knowledge,
Attitude, and Skill and write the instructional objectives appropriately. Some
of the activities or actions related to the three domains are listed below:

Cognitive – Cite, define, describe, name, recite, recognize, modify, verify, etc.
Affective – Realize, behave, cooperate, accept, characterize, customize,
organize, etc.
Psychomotor – Write, repair, type, run, jump, stitch, pull, push, remove,
operate, etc.

Action Verbs are listed separately in the Appendix A. You can categorize and
make use of it to write the objectives properly.

“It is my intention, apart from the alleviation of all kind of hardship, to promote the
Moral, Physical, and Intellectual development of the people.”
- Robert Bosch (1861-1942)

The above inspirational statement connects all the three domains!

Your Objective: Achieving the Target


Plan your Lesson M.SARAVANA 53

THE BENEFITS OF WELL WRITTEN OBJECTIVES TO THE TRAINER AND TO


THE LEARNER:

 Objectives specify, precisely, what the learner has to achieve.


 Objectives focus attention on the outcome of training, rather than the
process.
 Objectives impose a professional discipline on the provision of training.
 Objectives act as a basis for communication between trainers, learners,
and the management or institution.
 Through objectives we can analyse what a person should be able to do, in
terms of performance.

Learners also will be benefitted when you use objectives properly.


 Effectiveness of training is improved if you give learners for what they are
expected to learn.
 Objectives are written in learner terms, intended to help the learner.
 Objectives can include criteria for assessment; learners therefore know
how their performance will be measured.
 Learners may be encouraged to develop their own objectives.

CONCLUSION
The basic definition of an objective is that it is a statement of what a learner
must do to show that he or she has learned. This is a statement of the
performance or outcome to be achieved. This chapter ‘Writing Objectives for
a Lesson Plan’ emphasized the importance of stating instructional objectives
as learning outcomes and of defining each objective in terms of observable
learner behaviour. Various methods of writing objectives, the procedures for
selecting and using behaviourally defined objectives have also been described
and illustrated. Now you will be able to identify proper action verbs to state
the instructional objectives for your lesson plan of each instructional unit that
you are teaching. The Appendix A will help you to choose action verbs to
write the instructional objectives related to your field. Sample objectives are
listed in Appendix B related to various trades and behaviours which can be
used as a reference.

ANSWER KEY FOR EXERCISES


EXERCISE 1.

1), 2) – Knowledge (intelligence); 3), 4) – Skill (performance)

EXERCISE 2.

Compare your answers with the following answers with criteria.

1. Yes, although ‘being able to drive a car’ is a rather demanding statement.


The objective can be observed and measured.
2. Yes, as the learner can be given examples and asked to calculate Sales
Tax.
3. Yes, however, the fact that a learner has switched on a personal computer
does not lead to any measurable outcome related to a job. It is advisable to
link training objectives to desired outcomes.
4. No, although the person may claim to know how to respond to an error
message, how can this knowledge be observed and measured? If ‘know
how to’ is deleted from the statement it becomes a satisfactory objective.
5. No. The objective is vague and has ambiguity. The use of word ‘boost’ may
appear to be an action verb, but is not quantifiable.
6. No. The supervisor may demonstrate how to change the paper roll, but
whom to? This is a trainer centered statement that has no value; as per
the criteria, it could be improved by referring to the ‘learner’ rather than
‘supervisor’.
7. No. The objective is neither expressed in learner terms nor is it a clear
statement of performance which could be observed and measured.
8. No. The objective is neither expressed in clear performance oriented action
verb nor observable and measurable.
9. No. The objective is vague, trainer oriented and does not show any action
verb. At best it indicates intention of the trainer.
10. Yes. Although the learner can describe the classification, it does not
necessarily mean that he or she can actually do it.
11. Yes, however, depending upon the inherent danger fire in high-rise
buildings, the fact that the trainee can state fire regulations does not
mean that this person is competent to comply with them, or to respond
correctly to a fire emergency. The action verb ‘to state’ is not really the
most appropriate one to use as skill.
12. Yes, however, the verb ‘to use’ implies to all assumed performance that
could include setting up the OHP, and carrying out routine servicing and
repairs.

APPENDICES APPENDIX A

THE POWER OF ACTION VERBS


What are Action Verbs?
Why to use Action Verb?
Before getting answer to these questions let us think – ‘Why do we set
Objectives?’
Because ‘we want to Achieve it’. We can say that we have achieved it only after
we are able to ‘Measure it’. Unless an action is involved, it may not be
possible for us to measure it. That is the rationale for an action verb!
Action verbs are powerful words that specifically describe what the subject of
the sentence is doing, and the effort you used to complete a task. As per yoga
science the first and foremost important action of the ‘soul’ is ‘breath’.
Likewise for a clear instruction, action verbs plays very important role. To
make the instructional objectives more meaningful and precise, action verbs
are used. The power of the action verb lies in the meaning and intention
that they contain and how they bring direction and force to the sentence.
Understanding the types of action verb will make instructors better writers
and communicators.
Following are the alphabetized list of action verbs which will help us to choose
an appropriate one for *any behaviour of instructional process and to state the
objectives precisely related to cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. (*
Engineering, Non-Engineering, and Art behaviours, etc.)
