Why I Hate Instructional Objectives – Marc J Rosenberg
That’s why, at the very least, I want to amend the four-part, A-B-C-D objective paradigm with a fifth part:expectations. A-B-C-D-E objectives would require a statement of what the audience will gain from the course and how it will impact their work, competency, and/or career, as well has how it supports the mission and strategies of the organization. With a statement of expectations, students, and the organization will be able to relate what they do in an instructional setting with more meaningful macro success criteria.
