Writing Learning Objectives in a Student Affairs Context Chas Brua Instructional consultant & research associate Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence

This session will help you to assess your participants’ learning. By the end of this session you should be able to: 1.Write a learner-centered objective. 2.Say how your proposed learning activity accomplishes your objective. Goal Objectives

Example: Students will be able to produce a well- crafted résumé. Goals are useful as a first step but are too broad and fuzzy for designing instruction. More specific statements of what the learner must “do” are needed. That’s where objectives come in. Goals are broad, generalized statements about the target we want to reach.

Objectives are the key to good assessment ─ they help us see whether our students have learned. Objectives work best when they’re specific and measurable/observable. They answer these questions: If I am a student in this workshop, what should I know and be able to do when I leave? If I am a student in this workshop, how will I demonstrate my learning?

When writing objectives, avoid “weasel words”: Students will … Learn Know Be aware of Be familiar with Have a firm grasp of Understand Appreciate

When writing objectives, avoid “weasel words”: Students will … Learn Know Be aware of Be familiar with Have a firm grasp of Understand Appreciate

Better choices are observable & measurable: Students will be able to: Analyze Compare Critique Integrate Write Design Evaluate

– Audience Who will accomplish the objective (e.g., students) – Behavior What is expected; most helpful when overt and observable – Condition Under what circumstances the behavior is expected – Degree The acceptable performance level There are many ways to write objectives, but one helpful approach is ABCD:

Example of an objective: Audience – (A) Behavior – (B) Condition – (C) Degree – (D) “By the end of the workshop, the student will be able to accurately describe three principles necessary for holistic health.”

Example of an objective: Audience – (A) Behavior – (B) Condition – (C) Degree – (D) “By the end of the workshop, the student will be able to accurately describe three principles necessary for holistic health.” Audience Degree Condition Behavior

Another example: Audience – (A) Behavior – (B) Condition – (C) Degree – (D) “RAs will be able to demonstrate reflective listening when role-playing a meeting with two roommates in conflict over cleanliness. Audience Behavior Condition
