TRANSCRIPT
The first step in planning an instructional lesson is to have a very accurate idea of exactly
what learning you want to take place
This should be based on the needs of the specific audience
you are trying to teach.
1- Define your topic and goals
Example of a goal,
Many of our students have bicycles. Most of them ride after school.
In warm weather many ride them to and from school. We need to instill in our students proper and safe ways
to operate their bikes.
Define the Audience
Accurately define the characteristics of your audience.
The motivation, age, prior knowledge or training, and the environment
in which they live must be taken into account in this audience definition
Example of Audience Description,
The audience will be second graders of average to above average Intelligence. They live in a large, urban, community in
New York City. The students are curious and very interested
in environmental matters. The school lacks well equipped Audio-Visual resource room.
Students have already learned how to…..
3- Develop your objectives
Students usually do not know what is important to focus onDuring the instruction.
They need some specific, concrete, and measurable, Objectives.
An instructional objective is a statement
not of what the instructor
plans to put into the lesson but of what the learner
ought to get out of the lesson
The statement of objectives should be as specific as possible.
For example,
‘My students will improve their mathematical skills”Is far too general to qualify as a specific lesson objective.
it does, however, qualify as a goal- a broad statement of the purpose.
The second-grade students will be able to solve correctly any single-digit addition problem.
A good example,
Why should we state instructional objectives?
1- In order to make appropriate selection of methods (sequence of activities)and media selection.
2- to prepare the environment an equipments.
3- to help assure proper evaluation. The teacher will have a criterion to evaluate whether students have achieved an objective.
4- students will know what is expected of them.
5- the objectives is contract between the teacher and the learner.
Know, understand, really understand, appreciate, fully appreciate, grasp the significance of,
enjoy, believe, have faith in,Internalize, learn
Words open to many interpretations
Vague terms such asdo not
communicate your aim clearly.
Verbs open to fewer interpretations
Write, recite, define, identify, sort, predict, solve, state, construct, demonstrate, build, classify, compare, contrast,
smile, describe, categorize, name.
which denote observable performance
Add, alphabetize, analyze, apply, arrange, assemble, attend, bisect,
Build, carve, categorize, choose, classify, color, compare, complete, compose, compute, conduct, construct,
Contrast, convert, correct, cut

More examples
A statement of objectives should include the conditions
under which the performance is to be observed.
What tools or equipment will the student be allowed
or not allowed to use in demonstrating mastery of the objectives
For example, are students allowed to use notes
in describing the consequences of excessive use of alcohol?
Without notes, textbook, or any library materials, the student will be able to write a 300-word
essay on the relationship of nutrition to learning.
Given a political map of Europe, the student will be able to
mark the major coal-producing areas
More Examples
Degree
Well-stated objectives should indicate the standard, or criterion, by which
acceptable performance will be judged.
What degree of accuracy or proficiency must the learner display?
How well a student should perform the taskHow quickly must the observable behavior be performed?
How accurate must a behavior be performed?How perfect should a task be performed?
Sometimes qualitative criteria, should be used such asOriginality, flexibility, fluency,…etc.
Example
Classification of objectives
Three categories (or domains), of learning are widely used
Cognitive SkillsAffective Skills
Motor Skills
1. Knowledge of specific information
2. Comprehension or low level understanding
3. Application of a rule or principle
4. Analysis of an idea’s parts and relationships
5. Synthesis or put the parts together for new
6. Evaluation or making judgments about materials and methods
LEVEL 1: KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge of: •specifics •ways or means of dealing with specifics •the universals and abstractions in a field You're expecting the learner to:•remember an idea phenomenon, or a fact in somewhat the same form in which they learned it.
For example you might design a learning objective which requires the learner to:
•Write (or tell) the formula for the area of a triangle •Spell the word "taxonomy" •List the names of U.S. presidents since 1980. •Recite the poem "Auto Wreck"

Comprehension: •Translation •Interpretation •Extrapolation You're expecting the learner to:Communicate an idea or thing (event) in a new or different form (Comprehension ) See relationships among things. It may also mean qualifying ideas in relation to one's own experiences (Interpretation) Project the effect of things (Extrapolation)
LEVEL 2: COMPREHENSION
For example you might design a learning objective which requires the learner to:
Reword the "Pledge of Allegiance" (Comprehension)
Explain the meaning of FDA's "Four Freedoms." (Interpretation)
Offer three ways of life in prison that would change if inmate were allowed to dress as they please. (Extrapolation)

LEVEL 3: APPLICATION
Application is described by Bloom as "the use of abstract forms in particular and concrete situations. The abstractions may be in the form of general ideas, rules or procedures, generalized methods." You're expecting the learner to:use what they know (data) from a variety of areas to find solutions to problems relate or apply ideas to new unusual, or noble situations
For example, you might design a learning
objective which requires the learner to:
•Make use of the clothes you are wearing to stay afloat for several hours
•Utilize a pail and mop to remove the water from a
plugged sink

LEVEL 4: ANALYSIS
Analysis of: •elements •relationships •organizational principles You're expecting the learner to:•break something down into its component arts •uncover the unique characteristics of a "thing"
For example you might design a learning objective which requires the learner to:
Simplify "ballet" to its basic moves
Take apart an alarm clock
Inspect the house for poor workmanship
Search the "Last Supper" to uncover as many principles of art as possible

More Examples
LEVEL 5: SYNTHESIS Synthesis •communicating in a unique way •developing a plan or proposing a set of operations •developing a set of abstract relations (to hypothesize) You're expecting the learner to:•think creatively (divergently) •to make or create new or original "things" •take "things" and pattern them in new ways
For example you might design a learning
objective which requires the learner to:
Develop a way to teach the concept of "adjective."
Create a new opening line for the song "Mary Had a
little Lamb."
Combine elements of drama, music, and dance into a stage presentation.

LEVEL 6: EVALUATE Evaluation: •in terms of internal criteria •in terms of external criteria You're expecting the learner to:•make judgments about "things" based on either external or internal conditions or criteria •rate ideas, conditions, objects •accept or reject "things" based on standards
For example you might design a learning objective which requires the learner to:
Decide which candidate would best fill the position of principal
Award the contract to the best proposal
Rank the principles of "good sportsmanship” in order of importance to you
Recite the poem "Auto Wreck"
