Objectives are often comprised of three key elements
that help communicate what a successful learner will
be able to do:
- Performance (What
do you want the learner to be able to do?)
- Conditions (What are
the important conditions or constraints under which
the behaviour is to be shown?)
- Criterion (How well
does the learner need to perform to have mastered
the objective?)
Every objective does NOT need to state the conditions
or criterion of acceptable performance. The goal is
to add enough description to an objective so that someone
else reading it will be able to determine what the person
writing the objective wanted the learner to be able
to do.
