How to Plan Learning Objectives

Learning objectives define what students should know or be able to do after instruction.

Formula

Objectives = floor(Course Hours / Hours per Objective)

Assessment Items = Objectives x Items per Objective

Guidelines

  • Each objective needs 2-6 instructional hours
  • Each objective should have 2-5 assessment items
  • Use Bloom's Taxonomy: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create
  • Example Calculation

    48-hour course, 4 hours per objective, 3 assessments each.

    1. 01Objectives = floor(48 / 4) = 12
    2. 02Assessment items = 12 x 3 = 36
    3. 03Hours allocated = 12 x 4 = 48 (fully covered)
