What the learner will be able to do when he has mastered the objectives
What learner will be doing or behavior the teacher will accept as evidence that the ‘objectives’ have been achieved
using verbs that denote observable action
“at the end of the lesson, the students should be able to identify….”

There are different types of behaviours can be specified in writing the instructional objectives

15. Bloom’s Instructional Objectives
Benjamin Bloom (1956) proposed the most helpful guides for the behaviour classification
He created a scheme that classifies instructional objectives in a systematic way
He divided the objectives into 3 domains:
Cognitive domain : knowing fact and information
Psychomotor domain: performing physical skills
Affective domain: exhibiting personal attitudes
