Writing Effective Learning Objectives

The document discusses creating learning objectives for training events by having participants: 1. Identify a learning outcome they want participants to achieve. 2. Write a learning objective statement describing what participants will learn and how they will demonstrate it, focusing on a specific, measurable task. 3. Get feedback from colleagues to improve the objective statement so it clearly defines the expected learning outcome.

Core Concepts of Training:

Creating Learning Objectives

Identify a learning outcome for a training event you are or will be


developing: What is one thing you want participants to have learned by
attending this training? Write one brief phrase below.

Now, write a learning objective statement for this learning outcome. This statement
should be a clearly worded sentence that expresses what participants will have learned
and how they will demonstrate their learning. To assist you as you write your learning
objective statement, complete the steps below. You may want to begin your statement
with: By the end of this training you should be able to…

Step A: Use the following questions to guide you as you develop your objective.

1. Does your statement identify what learning domain it is in (i.e., does it focus on
teaching information, improving a skill, changing an attitude?).

2. Is it realistic for your proposed audience, available resources, and the length of
the training?

3. Is it focused on one specific job-related task or knowledge area?

4. Is it worded as a behavioral statement — something they actually have to do, not


just understand or believe?

5. Is the statement specific and precise about what they are supposed to be able to
do?

6. Is the entire learning objective stated clearly, with no extra words?

7. Can you measure it in some way to determine if learners have successfully


demonstrated the outcome?

8. Is anything missing?

STEP B: Ask a colleague to analyze your learning objective statement. How can it be
improved?

STEP C: If necessary, rework your learning objective statement so it helps learners


achieve the learning outcome you identified at the beginning of this exercise.
