OBJECTIVES
Describe the teaching-learning context.
Consider learners’ characteristics.
Determine required skills and knowledge and incorporate these into delivery and
assessment.
Determine dimensions of competency and incorporate these into delivery and
assessment.
Determine Key Competencies / Employability skills and incorporate these into
delivery and assessment.
Determine appropriate and engaging learning activities.
TEACHING-LEARNING CONTEXT
It describes the context of the planned teaching-learning activities. It also finds
out information specific for the learning environment the applies to a competency;
including relevant processes, activities and facilitation skills.
LEARNER’S CHARACTERISTICS

learners’ characteristics and levels of understanding.
REQUIRED SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE

deadlines, handle a sequence of interrelated
tasks and progress smoothly between tasks.
4 PARTS OF AN ABCD OBJECTIVE
1. AUDIENCE
Describe the intended learner or end user of the instruction.
2. BEHAVIOR
Describes learner capability
Must be observable and measurable
The “behavior” can include demonstration of knowledge or skill in any domains
of learning: cognitive, psychomotor, affective, or interpersonal.
3. CONDITION
Equipment or tools that may (or not) be utilized in completion of the behavior.
4. DEGREE
States the standard for acceptable performance. (time, accuracy, proportion,
quality)
PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT
Reiterative process where content is compared to objectives to determine if the
content being delivered actually enables the student to meet the objectives.
WRITING OBJECTIVES FROM COMPETENCIES
OBJECTIVES AND COMPETENCIES
1. COMPETENCY: The desire knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) a
participant needs successfully perform specific task.
2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: A very specific statement that describes exactly
what a participant will be able to do after completing the course or program.
ABOUT LEARNING OBJECTIVES

It is written in behavioral terms
It contains action verbs that are observable and measurable.
EXAMPLES OF WRITING OBJECTIVES FROM COMPETENCIES
COMPETENCY: Correctly change the oil on an automobile in less than 10 minutes.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Related to the competency above:
1. By the end of this course, the participant will be able to:
2. Locate and remove drain plug
