Understanding Learning Objectives
Learning objectives are not list of topics covered under a session
A learning objective should describe what a student should be able to do after going through a particular session
Parts of a Learning Objective
Performance: What the learner will be able to do after completing the session. This
part is known as performance or behavior
Condition: Under what constraints the learner
demonstrates the expected performance or behavior,
known as condition
Criterion: At what point the performance is acceptable. What are the standards of
acceptance? This part is known as criterion
A well written learning objective should consist of three parts, performance, condition and criterion
Example
“At the end of this session you will be able to describe at least 10 unique features of the Speedo Bike, without referring to the sales
manual.”
Performance
Criterion Condition
Non Example
A non example will be, “At the end of this session you will understand why Speedo Bike is unique.”
You can clearly see that in the later example it is impossible to measure the effectiveness of the training
Summary
In this session we learned that:
A learning objective should describe what a student should be able to do after going through a particular session
A well written learning objective should consist of three parts, performance, condition and criterion
