Learning Objectives

Template-type condition, action, and standard statements are tools for

use in writing learning objectives. This approach is based on the

premise that technical training has common objectives that apply

across many areas. Previously developed templates from other

facilities or courses may also be used to identify the objectives for

fundamental knowledge training. For example, individuals who

operate or maintain facility systems would be expected to meet the

following types of objectives:

state the purpose of the _____________ system

name the major components of the ____________ system

match ____________ system parameters to facility mode

predict the effects of a loss of __________ on __________

test a ____________

diagnose a ____________ problem in a ____________

repair a ____________

Used wisely, template statements can simplify development of

learning objectives for common tasks and fundamental knowledge.

However, users should recognize that most training situations will also

require the development of unique learning objectives. Rigidly

adhering to a set of template statements in these situations may

prevent needed learning objectives from being developed. Objectives

created using this method, as with any method, should be reviewed

and approved for use.
