GOALS FOR THIS WEBINAR
By the end of the webinar you will be able to:
1. Describe how the InTeGrate/GETSI design approach aligns to the Materials Development Rubric
2. Develop and evaluate learning goals and outcomes1. Give examples of an overarching module-level goal and a more
specific unit-level learning outcome.
2. Describe the difference between the cognitive levels in Bloom’s Taxonomy and why curriculum authors should know this difference.
3. List at least two characteristics of well-designed learning goals and state why they are important.
4. Defend why learning goals should align with assessments for a given module or activity.
3. Access the SERC Content Management System (CMS)

LEARNING GOALS/OUTCOMES
Learning goals identify significant and essential learning that students can demonstrate by the end of the module or course.
– Student centered
– Measurable
– Align with one more assessment elements
![Page 7: GETSI Development Approach & Learning Goals](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a645141a28abf3148b45e8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
LEARNING GOALS: WHAT AND WHY
• What is a “level” for a learning goal?
– How are module-level goals (also called “overarching goals”) different from unit-level or activity-level goals/outcomes?
• So a module-level goal is still measurable but has a broader focus. Unit-level or activity-level goals will be more specific and will mention specific tasks or practices that students will master or least become proficient in.

UNIT-LEVEL LEARNING GOALS

BLOOM’S TAXONOMY – COGNITIVE LEVELS
Three (3) Domains of learning:
1. Cognitive (Knowledge)
• Creating
• Evaluating
• Analyzing
• Applying
• Understanding
• Remembering
2. Affective (Feelings, Emotion)
--Attitude, Sense of Self
Higher CognitiveOrders (HOCs)
Lower CognitiveOrders (LOCs)
3. Psycho-motor (Skills)
--Manual or Physical Skills
![Page 12: GETSI Development Approach & Learning Goals](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a645141a28abf3148b45e8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
BLOOM’S TAXONOMY: ACTION VERBS
– Creating - Create, Invent, Compose, Predict, Plan, Construct, Design, Propose, Devise, Formulate, Combine, Hypothesize, Synthesize, Forecast.
– Evaluating - Judge, Select, Choose, Decide, Justify, Debate, Verify, Argue, Recommend, Assess, Discuss, Rate, Prioritize, Determine, Critique, Evaluate, Criticize, Weigh, Value, Estimate, Defend.
– Analyzing - Analyze, Distinguish, Examine, Compare, Contrast, Investigate, Identify, Explain, Deduce.
– Applying - Solve, Show, Use, Illustrate, Construct, Complete, Examine, Classify, Choose, Interpret, Make, Apply, Produce, Translate, Calculate.
– Understanding - Explain, Interpret, Outline, Discuss, Distinguish, Predict, Restate, Translate, Compare, Describe, Relate, Generalize, Summarize.
– Remembering - List, Describe, Relate, Locate, Write, Find, State, Name, Identify, Label, Recall, Define, Recognize, Match, Reproduce, Memorize.
Note: There is some overlap in the verbs, it depends on the level of the activity you are attempting to capture with the goal.

WRITING LEARNING GOALS
• An action verb identifying performance
• A learning statement specifying the learning
• A standard for acceptable performance
Students will be able to solve interdisciplinary problems.
Students will be able to describe how economic, social and political issues bear on scientific problems.
At the end of the course, students will be able to convincingly make the case that economic, social and political issues are relevant when addressing problems related to climate change.

EVALUATING LEARNING GOALS (ADAPTED FROM ACTIVITY BY B.
TEWKSBURY AND H. MACDONALD)
Understand the fundamental concepts of fluid dynamics.How would you evaluate this goal?
1. Student-centered? (rather than teacher-centered)
2. Concrete? (or vague and abstract)
3. What Bloom’s Taxonomy level? (1-Remember, 2- Understand, 3-Apply, 4-Analyze, 5-Evaluate, 6-Create)
4. What level is it? (module-level? unit-level? activity-level?)
5. Make this goal more challenging? (Hint: think “verb”)
6. Measureable? How? (Suggested activity/exercise to measure?)
![Page 15: GETSI Development Approach & Learning Goals](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a645141a28abf3148b45e8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
EVALUATING LEARNING GOALS
Describe the seven major disasters covered in the course and explain the geologic process associated with the disasters.

Measure the learning outcomes Criterion referenced Consistent with course activities and resources Sequenced, varied and appropriate Address various cognitive levels
• Which part of the world is
represented on this map?
• Does the ocean surface display El
Niño, ENSO normal, or La Niña
conditions and how do you know?
• Where will precipitation fall if these
anomalous temperatures remain in
place?
ASSESSMENT AND MEASUREMENT
![Page 20: GETSI Development Approach & Learning Goals](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a645141a28abf3148b45e8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ASSESSMENT AND MEASUREMENT
Learning Outcome: Compare and contrast two major political positions related to climate change
Assessment: You just accepted a position as a Congressional intern for the Speaker of the House, John Boehner (R), Ohio. As Speaker, he is responsible for maintaining Republican Party unity. He is preparing for hearings on proposed EPA regulations related to CO2 emissions. Write a one page summary comparing and contrasting the two main political views related to climate change that he will have to contend with during these hearings.
