WHAT ARE CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD
LEARNING OUTCOME?

1. Good student learning outcomes (SLO) are centered on the

students, on what the learners are capable of doing instead of the
teaching techniques.
• Example: if the SLO is “ The students can explain and illustrate
the life cycle of an insect “ meaning , to guide the students
towards the desired competency.
• The teacher may use the following instructional techniques and
activities.
• Poster presentations of the different stages in the development of a
butterfly.
• Field trip to a botanical garden or nature park to observe the
different stages in the life cycle of a butterfly.
• Submission of an essay on the dangers observed that will
interrupt or abort the life cycle of the butterfly.
• Submission of a proposed project to protect the life cycle of
insects or other useful animals.
• 2. Good learning outcomes are based on the program mission
statement agreed upon by the program faculty in consultation
with other stakeholders like alumni and other professionals.
• Good student learning outcome should be agreed upon by both
teachers and students on the importance of these competencies .

• SOME STEPS FOR THE TEACHER AND THE STUDENTS TO

COOPERATIVELY MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THE
DESIRED LEARNING OUTCOMES OR SKILLS AND
COMPETENCIES.
• H- hooking the students to the desired learning outcome.
• E- exploring and experiencing the supporting student activities.
• A- applying the ideas /knowledge required in contrived simulated or
eal –life situations.
• R-refining , rehearsing , reviewing the target skills/
competencies
• E – evaluating the degree of learning outcome performance
• D- deciding on the action , solution or creative project to apply
the learning outcome.
4. Good learning outcomes include a spectrum of thinking skills

should be expressed as transitive verbs and or action words
which are demonstrable and observable / measurable competency
levels:

• For k-12 grades 3-10 reading, mathematics, language, science

• Numerical Rating Proficiency level
• 1 below basic level
