... Write a behavioral objective for each level of Bloom’s Taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain according to the standards set forth by Mager.
Instructional Objectives
Developed by W. Huitt (1998)
Writing Instructional Objectives
Instructional objectives are statements of educational expectations for students.
Research has NOT demonstrated a strong link between writing objectives and student achievement
Writing Instructional Objectives
Nevertheless, it is still considered good educational practice to have written objectives in order to facilitate communication to students about expected outcomes.
Writing Instructional Objectives
There are a number of approaches to writing instructional objectives:
• Mager -- Behavioral objectives
Writing Instructional Objectives
Mager proposes writing specific statements about observable outcomes that can be built up to become a curriculum (an inductive approach).
• An example of a behavioral objective:
Given 3 minutes of class time, the student will solve 9 out of 10 multiplication problems of the type: 5 X 4 = _____.
Writing Instructional Objectives
There are a number of approaches to writing instructional objectives:
• Mager -- Behavioral objectives
• Gronlund -- General/specific objectives
Writing Instructional Objectives
Gronlund proposes starting with a general statement and providing specific examples of topics to be covered or behaviors to be observed (a deductive approach).
Writing Instructional Objectives
• An example of a general/specific objective:
The student can perform simple multiplication: a. can define what multiplication means, in his our her own words. b. can define relevant terms such as "multiplier" and "product”. c. can solve problems of the type 5 X 4 = ______.
Writing Instructional Objectives
There are a number of approaches to writing instructional objectives:
• Mager -- Behavioral objectives
• Gronlund -- General/specific objectives
• Eisner -- Expressive objectives
Writing Instructional Objectives
Eisner proposes that not all instructional objectives should focus on outcome; some should focus on the learning process itself (expressive objectives).
• Examples of an expressive objective:
a. Students will attend a live symphony performance.
b. Students will use multiplication in everyday activities.
Writing Instructional Objectives
While there are advantages and disadvantages to each approach, we will focus on Mager's approach, because it is the most widely used and perhaps the most inclusive.
Writing Behavioral Objectives
An instructional objective is a clear and unambiguous description of educational expectations for students.
When written in behavioral terms, an objective will include three components:
• student behavior, • conditions of performance, and• performance criteria.

Three Parts of a Behavioral Objective

skill or knowledge to be gained (e.g., two digit numbers, vocabulary words)

Student Behavior
the action or skill the student is able TO DO (e.g., define, count, label, categorize, analyze, design, evaluate, add, multiply, etc.)

Three Parts of a Behavioral Objective
In an oral presentation, the student will paraphrase Dr. Martin Luther Kings's I Have a Dream address, mentioning at least 3 of the 5 major points discussed in class.
Writing Behavioral Objectives
When developing the behavioral objective it is best to write the student behavior first, then the condition statement and finally the criteria.
In an oral presentation, the student will paraphrase Dr. Martin Luther Kings's I Have a Dream address, mentioning at least 3 of the 5 major points discussed in class.
Writing Behavioral Objectives
Write a behavioral objective for each of the following statements:
• The students will grasp the significance of civic responsibility.
• The student will learn the parts of speech.
• The teacher will cover multiplication facts.
Writing Behavioral Objectives
Are these properly written behavioral objectives?
• Given ten rocks, the student will label them as igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks.
• The student will located 12 major bones on the diagram of a skeleton.
