Educational Objectives

The document discusses educational objectives, which are statements that describe what students will learn by the end of a lesson. Educational objectives should be specific, attainable, suitable for students' level, and comprehensive. They have four parts - an action verb, specification of content, support material, and degree of learning. Objectives help guide teaching and learning. Bloom's Taxonomy categorizes objectives into cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains according to six levels of cognitive skills - knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The workshop aims to help participants create effective objectives using verbs from Bloom's Taxonomy.
