Guidance for writing your Behavioral Learning Objectives
When developing your behavioral learning objectives,
consider if they are:
- Focused on the learner
- Observable and measurable (i.e., use action verbs that describe measurable behaviors)
- Statements clearly describing what the learner should be able to do at the end of the course
- Appropriate in breadth (not too few or too many for the length of the program)
- Sufficient in depth (does the whole of the objective make sense and is it appropriate for CE)
- Fully linked to the program narrative, adequate references that support content, & are listed on promotional materials
Suggested verbs for formulating behavioral learning outcomes:
Knowledge – list, describe, recite, write, identify
Comprehension – compare, compute, discuss, explain, predict
Application – apply, demonstrate, review, use, utilize
Analysis – analyze, diagram, differentiate, question, separate
Synthesis – compile, create, design, plan, prepare
Evaluation – assess, critique, rate, revise, select
Verbs to avoid
- know, understand
- learn, appreciate
- become aware of, become familiar with
Three /four learning objectives: Learning objectives should clearly describe what participants are expected to learn; and how participants can apply this knowledge in practice or professional contexts.[/ultimate_icon_list_item][ultimate_icon_list_item icon=”Defaults-check” icon_color=”#8cc63f”]Educational Content/description (500 words or less) (Synopsis of program) a brief description of the rationale, content of the program, and how objectives will be met.[/ultimate_icon_list_item][ultimate_icon_list_item icon=”Defaults-check” icon_color=”#8cc63f”]Brief description (1-3 sentences) on how your topic impacts families, relationships or the community[/ultimate_icon_list_item][/ultimate_icon_list]
