STEP 4. PREPARE GENERIC OBJECTIVES (OPTIONAL)

It is important for learning objectives to address the knowledge needed across the range of task

performance under all conditions. The use of generic (fill in the blank) learning objectives can provide

management control for ensuring that objectives span the range of knowledge required under both routine

and abnormal conditions, as well as supplement the task analysis process of identifying appropriate

knowledge for a task. The Example System that follows can be used as a template when writing

objectives for a lesson.

When designing your own set of generic objectives each of the headings listed in the example should be

taken into consideration. Notice that the example includes objective statements requiring both memorization and

application of knowledge. When developing generic objectives you should ensure coverage of both memorization

and application. You will note criteria and conditions are not listed in these examples. Your objectives should

contain all three parts of an objective (action statement, conditions, and standards).
