What are Instructional
Objectives?

What is the importance of


Instructional Objectives?
Instructional Objectives
• An instructional objective is a statement that will describe
what the learner will be able to do after completing the
instruction. (Kibler, Kegla, Barker, Miles, 1974).

• "a collection of words and/or pictures and diagrams intended


to let others know what you intend for your students to
achieve“, (Mager, 1984)

• An objective does not describe what the instructor will be


doing, but instead the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that the
instructor will be attempting to produce in learners
Instructional Objectives
•An instructional objective is the focal point of a lesson plan.
Objectives are the foundation upon which you can build lessons
and assessments and instruction that you can prove meet your
overall course or lesson goals.
•Begin with the end in mind
•The purpose of objectives is not to restrict spontaneity or
constrain the vision of education in the discipline; but to ensure
that learning is focused clearly enough that both students and
teacher know what is going on, and so learning can be
objectively measured.

Different archers have different styles, so do different teachers. Thus, you


can shoot your arrows (objectives) many ways. The important thing is that
they reach your target (goals) and score that bullseye!

1. Receiving
• Awareness, willingness to hear selected attention
• One is expect to be aware of or to passively attend to
certain stimuli or phenomena. Simply listening and
being attentive are the expectations.

2. Responding

• Attends and reacts to a particular phenomenon
• One is required to comply with given expectations by

3. Valuing
• The worth or value a person attaches to a particular
object, phenomenon, or behavior,
• Display behavior consistent with a single belief or
attitude in situations where one is neither forced or

4. Organization
• Commitment to a set of values. This level involves 1)
forming a reason why one values certain things and
not others, and 2) making appropriate choices
between things that are and are not valued.
• One is expected to organize likes and preferences into
a value system and then decide which ones will be
dominant.

Levels of Learning Outcomes


5. Characterization / Characterization of Values
• All behavior displayed is consistent with one’s
value system. Values are integrated into a
pervasive philosophy that never allows
expressions that are out of character with
those values. Evaluation at this level involves
the extent to which one has developed a
consistent philosophy of life
