Are Objectives Important? Why or Why Not?
I work in a school and I have heard teachers talking (Complaining) about writing their objectives. For many of them Objectives were just one more on their endless list of paperwork. I have heard so many teachers say "They can get more paperwork from me or they can let me teach my students."
The way the Objective was explained to us tonight made it's usefulness so much more clear. As a teacher I need to to know who will be learning A-Audience (students), what I want them to learn B-Behavior, know the context or the way that I will be teaching C-Condition, finally I want to know my expectations for my students D-Degree.
After looking at objectives this way I can see how important they are. They help a teacher know what their students need to know, how they can teach it, and how they can find out if the students have learned to the extent that the teacher needs them to.
Question #2
Write an objective for something you've wanted to get done at home:
Given the paint and brushes that I purchased from LOWES, I will finish painting the cupcake stands with 100 % accuracy.
I love your personal objective and expect to see a photo posted next time! LOL. Your explanation is awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo attachment! It definitely made me laugh! I cannot image having to write a learning objective without using ABCD style. It is very simple to find the A-Audience and B-Behavior but sometimes the C-Condition and D-degree is difficult. Very creative learning objective for your home! Hope you had a great weekend!
