Learning Objective
Learning Objective
Introduction
A Learning Objective pinpoints a specific goal or outcome within your chosen Pedagogy. It tells everyone—learners, instructors, and the AI—what a learner should be able to do, understand, or demonstrate at a particular stage or level.
Key highlights of a Learning Objective include:
Pedagogy Alignment: Each objective is linked to a single pedagogy level, ensuring consistent instructional design.
Measurable Outcomes: Objectives often inform how rubrics and assessments are shaped.
Flexibility: Can be assigned to numerous entities (Curriculum, Pathway, Course, Module, etc.) so the entire learning journey remains goal-focused.
Properties
LearningPedagogyId
Links the objective to a specific pedagogy framework, ensuring the objective adheres to the designated methodology or taxonomy.
Level
Denotes the complexity tier within the pedagogy (e.g., 1 for “Recall,” 6 for “Create” if using Bloom’s). This helps define how advanced or in-depth the objective is meant to be.
Name
A succinct label describing the objective, e.g., “Analyze market data.” Keep it action-oriented.
Description
A more expansive explanation of the objective, clarifying the context, scope, and any criteria for success. This might mention expected outputs or real-world applications.
CreatedDate
Date/time automatically recorded when this objective is created.
ModifiedDate
Date/time automatically updated when changes are made to this objective.
Example
You create a Learning Objective named “Explain the role of marketing analytics in decision-making,” set at Level 2: “Understanding” in Bloom’s. You expand in the description: “Learners should be able to describe how metrics influence strategic planning.” This objective can then be applied to a variety of modules or assignments.
Use Case
An organization wants each module in a “Leadership Skills” course to revolve around clear, measurable goals. They define objectives such as “Demonstrate effective communication” (Level 3: “Applying”) or “Evaluate different leadership styles” (Level 5: “Evaluating”). By linking these objectives to rubrics, the course’s tasks remain aligned with the overall teaching methodology.
