GUIDING PRINCIPLES IN DETERMINING AND FORMULATING LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1.) “Begin with the end mind”

-Begin your lesson with a clearly defined lesson objective, which means to
begin each day, each task, or lesson in this particular, with a clear vision of your desired
direction and destination. With a specific objective, our lesson becomes more focused.
We do not waste nor kill our time for we are sure of what we teach, to teach, what
materials to use. Hence, we have the direction to guide our daily activities and we must
take control.

2.) Share lesson objective with students.

-Make your students own the objective. You don’t merely write your
objective on the board or tell it to your students. They must be able to know their learning
goal. Let them know of the benefits they can get from studying the lesson. In this way, you
will be able to know whether or not they really understood the lesson.

3.) Lesson objectives must be in the two or three domains:

knowledge(cognitive),skill(psychomotor), values(affective).
-Lesson objective must integrate objectives in the cognitive, psychomotor
and affective domains for a wholistic lesson. It is complete when it dwells on knowledge
and values or on skills and values, or on knowledge, skills and values. If we teach only
knowledge it is incomplete ,this may not touch or bring about change in the learner. So it
is necessary that our own lesson gets direction from objectives in the two or three
domains, with the affective domain always present.
4.) Work on significant and relevant lesson objectives.
-Our lesson objective must be connected to our students’ life experiences. It
will increase the level of their self-motivation if relevant to their daily life. They will be
self-propelled or able to learn by themselves as we teach.

5.) Lesson objective must be aligned with the aims of education as embodied in the
Philippine Constitution and other laws on the vision-mission statements of the
educational institution of which you are apart.
-Education Act of 1982,an act providing for the establishment and
maintenance of an integrated system of education. Educational institutions must filter
down to the course objectives stated in the course syllabi and in lesson objectives laid
down in lesson plans.

6.) Aims at the development of critical and creative thinking.

-The whole brain must be used for balanced learning not just the left for
critical thinking but also the right for creative thinking. In addition to, critical and creative
thinking capability aims to ensure that students develop understanding of thinking
processes and ability to manage and apply these intentionally, skills and learning
dispositions that support logical, strategic, flexible and adventurous thinking.

7.) For accountability of learning, lesson objectives must be SMART.

*S-Specific. We have a particular objective, it answer the 5 W questions
*M-Measurable Objective can be measure, answer the question how.
*A-Attainable. Lesson objectives must be realistic to be able attainable.
*R-Result-oriented Relevant. Objective must be based on outcome.
*T-Time bound and Terminal. You have a target time to achieve your goal
-With SMART lesson objectives, there is a greater match between
instruction and assessment. There is curriculum alignment. SMART provides clarity, focus
and motivation in achieving your objective.
