 Cognitive objectives ◦ Describe the knowledge that learners are to acquire  Affective objectives ◦ Describe the attitudes, feelings, and dispositions that learners are expected to develop  Psychomotor objectives ◦ Relate to the manipulative and motor skills that learners are to master

 Knowledge is a starting point that includes both the acquisition of information and the ability to recall information when needed.  Comprehension is the basic level of understanding. It involves the ability to know what is being communicated in order to make use of the information.  Application is the ability to use a learned skill in a new situation.  Analysis is the ability to break content into components in order to identify parts, see relationships among them, and recognize organizational principles.  Synthesis is the ability to combine existing elements in order to create something original.  Evaluation is the ability to make a judgment about the value of something by using a standard.

 The Cognitive Domain (Bloom, 1956) ◦ Knowledge – Remembering the information ◦ Comprehension – Understanding the meaning ◦ Application – Using the information ◦ Analysis – Breaking down into parts ◦ Synthesis – Producing a new whole ◦ Evaluation – Judging the value

 They aren’t simply a list of the topics to be covered.  They are: (A, B C, D’s of learning objectives) ◦ Behavior. The behavior should be specific and observable. ◦ Condition. The conditions under which the behavior is to be completed should be stated, including what tools or assistance is to be provided. ◦ Degree. The level of performance that is desirable should be stated. ◦ (Mager, 1962)
