Writing student-centered
objectives is critical to student success. Students want to know what is
expected of them when they complete the course. Clear student objectives stated in terms of the behavior(s) the student will perform can make learning
come alive in your course and make your job as an instructor easier. You
will spend less time explaining what the student has to do.
When writing the objective you ask these questions:
1. What will the students be able to do at the end of this course?
2. At what level of thinking do I want my students
to be?
*Bloom's Taxonomy is a tool to assist you with answering both
questions and provides a framework from which to choose action verbs to use in
writing the objective as well as to select verbs from different levels of
thinking.
