• Behaviors (Performance)
• Conditions
• Degree (Criterion)
Audience
Behaviors
Conditions
Degree
• Level of performance required
• Reference standards:
• Speed: “within ten minutes”
• Quality: “according to the standards identified in…”
• Accuracy: “no more than two omissions in performing focused
physical exam”
• Quantity: “no more than two attempts”
Group Activity
• Review instructional objective example assigned to your table
• Discuss at your table
• Determine if the objective meets all the components of an objective
(ABCD) and is it measurable?
• Which Bloom’s hierarchical level does this objective fit?
• Flip chart:
• From your table discussion, rewrite the objective you were assigned
• Were changes made based on your table discussion?
• If yes, document those changes and write the new objective
• If no, be prepared to explain your reasoning
