Module
6: Writing an Instructional Goal and Objectives
In the Module 4: Designing a Collaborative Exercise
assignment, you developed a case study. I would like you to go back to that
case study, and think about what you would like to teach a classroom full of
patients such as the one on the case study to improve their health status. This
could be a one-time training or an ongoing set of classes offered
weekly/monthly/etc.
Now, review the HSC 3243 Learning Objectives for
this course. Then using clearly defined language, develop an education goal
statement for what skill you want these patients to have after
the lesson (not the goal of the training) and two objectives
using the criteria below:
- Write the goal and
objectives from the perspective of the learner and identify
(specifically label) the condition, criterion and performance elements. - Do not use vague words such
as “to understand” as understanding is not able to be measured;
use a more specific verb such as discuss, explain, demonstrate, compare
and contrast, etc. - Share your goals and
objectives with the rest of the class in this discussion.
In your replies, please provide
constructive feedback to other students about how they might improve their
learning objectives. (Note:
To receive full points, this feedback needs to be substantive.) Remember,
there are many ways to correctly write objectives. It depends heavily on the
specific skill being taught.
This discussion forum is VERY
interactive. I will be reviewing the posts and will be providing feedback to
you as will your peers.
- Read as many
posts as you can throughout the week and make improvements to your goals
and objectives based on what you learn from the feedback. This ongoing
improvement is considered in the grade. - Please DO
NOT use the edit feature to change the original post – add a reply to your
original goal and objectives. This is important because these concepts are
difficult and other students can learn a lot from seeing the evolution of
the goals and objectives. Thanks! - 3 peer responses
