“Goals are our guiding star.”
Guiding Principles in Determining and Formulating Learning Objectives
1. “ Begin with the end in mind”, says Covey, the author
of “Seven Habits of Effective People”. In the context of teaching, this means that we must begin our lesson with a clearly defined lesson objective. With a clear and specific lesson objective we will have a sense of direction. With a definite lesson objective in mind, we do not lose sight of what we intend to teach. Begin you lesson with a clearly defined lesson objective. Guiding Principles in Determining and Formulating Learning Objectives
2. Share lesson objective with students. Like a seminar that begins
with a statement of purpose, our lesson ought to begin with a statement of purpose, our lesson ought to begin with a statement and clarification of our lesson objective. Make known to our students our instructional objective and encourage them to make the lesson objective their own. Make your students own the lesson objective.

3. Lesson objectives must be in the two or three domains
knowledge (cognitive) skill, (psychomotor) and values (affective). Our lesson maybe dominantly cognitive, psychomotor of affective. Dominantly cognitive if it is meant primarily for knowledge acquisition and dominantly psychomotor if it is intended for the acquisition and honing of skills. Lesson objectives in the affective domain are mainly focused on attitude and value formation. A cognitive or a skill lesson must always include the affective dimension for wholistic learning. Lesson objective must integrate objectives in the cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains for wholistic lesson. Guiding Principles in Determining and Formulating Learning Objectives
4. Work on significant and relevant lesson objectives. With our
lesson objective becoming our students’ lesson objective, too, our student will be self-propelled as we teach. The level of their self-motivation all the more increases when our lesson objective is relevant to their daily life, hence, significant. Our lesson objective must be connected to our student’s life experiences. Guiding Principles in Determining and Formulating Learning Objectives 5. Lesson objective must be aligned with the aims of education as embodied in the Philippine Constitution and other Laws and on the vision-mission statements of the educational institution of which you are a part. The aims of education as enshrined in our fundamental law of the land, in the Education Act of 1982, the Ten-Year Medium Term Development Plan must be reflected in the vision-mission statements of educational institutions. In turn, the vision-mission statements of educational institutions must filter down to the course objectives stated in course syllabi and in lesson objectives laid down in lesson plans. The lesson objective must flow from the aims of education enshrined in the Phil. Constitution and the vision – mission statements of schools.

6. Aim at the development of critical and creative thinking.
This is said more than done. We need not go into a laborious research to be convinced that the development of critical and creative thinking is wanting in classrooms. Most questions asked whether oral or written are convergent, low-level questions. Guiding Principles in Determining and Formulating Learning Objectives
