1. What is the difference between educational objectives and learning targets?

The key difference between educational objectives and learning targets is that the
educational objective or learning outcome are statements that describes what the students
should learn and can do at the end of a learning period that they cannot do beforehand.
While Learning targets are concrete goals that are also written but in a student-friendly
language that clearly describe what students will learn and be able to do by the end of a
learning period and begins with an “I can” statement.

2. What are the common typologies of learning targets?

The common typologies of learning targets are:

 Knowledge targets
 Reasoning targets
 Skills target
 Product targets
 Affective targets

3. Why is it important that learning targets and assessment tasks/activities are matched?

For us teachers to do the methods or the activities that should be given to our
students aligned with the learning objectives of what I want the students to know and can
do according to the course description and the assessment that will be given should reveal
what they learn based on my teaching strategies and methods. Because if these things
does not matched my students might get frustrated if what they learn was not included on
their assessment and will not reveal what they learn. They may lose their motivation,
interest and confidence and they might receive failing grades from that.

assessment methods? Why?

methods are skills, products and affect because:
