What is an objective?
An objective is a statement that describes what the learner will be able to do after successfully completing a particular educational experience. An objective describes the specific steps that the student will take. By writing a list of objectives, the instructor can more effectively plan the learning experience. What specifically do you want the student to learn?
What is a goal?
A goal describes what the instructor expects of a student in general terms.
Describe four criteria of a well-written objective.
What are the three domains of learning?
Explain the cognitive Domain
The cognitive domain involves the development of our mental skills and the acquisition of knowledge.
Explain the psycomotor domain
Psychomotor objectives are those specific to discreet physical functions, reflexactions and interpretive movements.
Explain the affective domain
This domain includes the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and attitude.
Cognitive Taxonomic levels
I. Knowledge - recall information II. Comprehension, Application - Understanding Info and applying it III. Analysis,Synthesis,Eval - Problem solving
Psychomotor taxonomic levels
I. Preception, set - awareness of stimuli, readiness of motorskill II. guided Response, Mechanism, complex overt response - Practice in motor skills with increasing prof III. Adaptation, Origination - alter procdures/ create new movements
Affective taxonomic levels
I. Receiving, responding - Awareness & reaction to activity, situation or phenomenon II. valuing - attachment of worth to activity, situation or phenomenon III. organization, Internalization - Commitment to a vaule which is reflected in behavior.

Cognitive Objectives
I. The student will state the reagents used in the glucose test. II. Given the necessary data, calculate a creatinine clearance. III. Given a peripheral blood smear and a smear of a bone marrow aspirate from thesame patient, the student will classify the type of leukemia that is present.
Psycomotor Objectives
I. The student will label test tubes for ABO and Rh typing II. The student will calibrate the chemistry instrument according to the written procedure II. The student will pick a colony from a primary plate for isolation III. Given a procedure for a laboratory test on a single sample, the student will adapt theprocedure for multiple samplings. III. Given a lab procedure, the student will modify the steps to increase efficiency.
Affective Domain Objectives
I. The student will arrive in the laboratory at the expected time. (Demonstrates dependability) I. The student will observe lab safety rules. (Demonstrates a concern for safety) II. The student will report patient results only to authorized persons. (Respect, valuing)Level II: The student will keep the work area neat and well supplied. (Cooperation, assistance) III. The student will offer to help others when his or her own work is completed. (Initiative)
Cognitive Domain Tools
Since the Cognitive domain focuses on facts and information. The tools are: Essay Questions verbal Test True/False test Matching Test Multi Choice test
Psycomotor Domain Tools
Learning outcomes are best assessed by either observing the students as they perform a given task or judging the quality of the final product. The tools are Practical Exams Role-Playing
