A goal is a statement of a purpose or intended outcome. It is expressed in general terms or verbs like understand, grasp, learn, know and more.
An objective is a more specific statement. There are three components of an objective: behavior, condition, and criterion. The condition is the setting, the behavior is the action is expressed by the verb, and the criterion is the expected performance level. The formula is "Given (a task or materials) the students will (verb) with (an expected level of performance)".
Amanda,
ReplyDeleteAlthough this blog entry is short, I feel that it is very interesting and useful. I like that you began this blog by posing a question to the reader. This really caught my attention. From watching the video, I learned a great deal and I think that it is a very good resource to use in the classroom with any age group. Defining goal and objective at the end tied the video and what we learned in class together nicely.
