"Before you prepare instruction, before you choose materials, machine, or method, it is important to be
able to state clearly what your goals are. This book is about instructional objectives. In it I will try to
show how to state objectives that best succeed in communicating your intent to others. The book is NOT
about the philosophy of education, nor is it about who should select objectives, nor about which
objectives should be selected." p.viii
