Objectives Compare educational taxonomies for the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains Generate measureable objectives in each of the domains.

What is an objective? An outcome statement that captures specifically what knowledge, skills and attitudes the learner(s) should be able to exhibit following instruction

What is the value of objectives to the teacher?

What is the value of objectives? From the teacher perspective, they help us to keep our teaching: On target Learner-centered Focused on content/behaviors Organized with regard to methods and materials

Levels of objectives Program Course Class/module/clinical

Key components of an objective Should be SMART Specific Measurable/observable Attainable for target audience within scheduled time and specified conditions Relevant and results-oriented Targeted to the learner and to the desired level of learning Teacher & Educational Development, University of New Mexico School of Medicine, 2005
