191) the learning objectives have been made clear A learning objective refers to the content being taught and indicates a level of understanding or behaviour that the teacher wants the learner to achieve. Objectives communicate your expectations to students, to let them know what they are expected to accomplish and help them focus their learning activities. The learning objectives also guide your assessment strategies. · Biggs (1999) clarifies what objectives are and what they are not and explains how to set up criterion-referenced objectives (pp. 43 - 50). · · Lowman (1984) describes different levels of objectives using Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives (pp. 148 - 152). This taxonomy might be useful in helping to determine objectives for your unit, lesson or activity. · ·
