Objectives Compare educational taxonomies for the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains. Generate measureable objectives in each of the domains. Align measureable objectives with potential evidence of accomplishment.

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

What is the Value of Objectives to the Learner?.

What is the Value of Objectives? From the learner’s perspective: Knowing what is expected of them/what they should learn Understanding what KAS they should have at the end of the experience Guiding them in organizing their reading/studying

Levels of Objectives Program Course – Where did your Teaching Goal Inventory results fit in terms of types of objectives? Class/module/clinical

Key Components of an Objective Should be SMART S pecific M easurable/observable A ttainable for target audience within scheduled time and specified conditions R elevant and results-oriented T argeted to the learner and to the desired level of learning Teacher & Educational Development, University of New Mexico School of Medicine, 2005

An Overarching Objective for Your Evidence-Based Teaching project Think and write… Then pair Pairs share with the group (Strategy: Think – Pair – Share; variation: Think – Pair – Square – Share)

Educational Taxonomies A taxonomy is a system that describes, identifies, and classifies groups Organized by levels of complexity In education, three domains of learning are classified: Cognitive Psychomotor Affective

Value of Taxonomies?.

Value of Taxonomies Useful for writing objectives and developing test items/evaluations Ensure that important categories of learning are not overlooked

Psychomotor Objective: What is the desired end-state? How would you evaluate?

Challenges of Writing Psychomotor Objectives

Affective Domain Describes the way learners react emotionally; typically targets awareness and growth in attitudes, values, beliefs and feelings Receiving Responding Valuing Organizing Characterizing

Motivational Interviewing Identify affective objective(s) How would you evaluate level of success?

Challenges of Writing Affective Objectives

Universal Design for Learning A way of thinking about the design of learning in order to maximize the success of all learners 3 components of learning are addressed: The WHAT: what is the new content, what are varied ways I can experience it, and how do I fit it into my existing schema? The HOW: what are varied ways I can interact with the new content and put it to use? The WHY: why does this new content matter to me???

UDL … Taking It Further!

Revisit the Beginning Re-examine your own overarching EBT objective. Talking with a partner: IDENTIFY… your learners and the domain(s) in which your objective fits. some of the multiple means of representing the new content that you might be able to use some of the multiple means of application and expression that might be appropriate some of the multiple means of engagement available to you for these learners
