Audience: learners interested in the objectives Behaviors: what is the learner expected to perform Conditions: how the lesson will be learned Degree: to what degree will objective be accomplished
Mager (1984)
Outcomes VS ProcessThe objective is an intended outcome of instruction rather than the process of instruction.
