Behavioral Objectives

(Blooms Taxonomy)

1. Knowledge:This thinking skill tells you that a student can recall or recognize information, concepts, and ideas in
the approximate form in which they were learned. (define, fill in the blank, identify, label, list, locate, match,
name)

2. Comprehension: This thinking skill tells you that a student can grasp and interpret prior learning. (convert,
describe, explain, interpret, restate, summarize)

3. Application: This thinking skill tells you that a student can grasp and interpret prior learning. (apply, compute,
construct, demonstrate, determine, give an example)

4. Analysis: This thinking skill tells you that a student can examine, take apart, classify, predict, and draw
conclusions. (analyze, classify, compare, contrast, determine the factors, differentiate, examine, infer)

5. Synthesis: This thinking skill tells you that a student can originate, combine, and integrate parts of prior
knowledge into a product, plan, or proposal that is new. (change, combine, compose, construct, create, design,
find an unusual way)

6. Evaluation: This thinking skill tells you that a student can appraise, assess, or criticize on the basis of specific
standards and criteria. (appraise, choose, compare, conclude, decide, defend, evaluate, give your opinion, judge,
justify)
Objectives are what a student must achieve to accomplish what the teacher state is to be learned,
comprehended, or mastered.
Objectives or criteria do two things: assign and assess.

1. Assign. Objectives give directions or tell a student what is to be comprehended or mastered in an assignment.
2. Assess. Objectives tell the teacher if additional study is needed to master an objective.
Examples:
After going over the chapter material, students will be able to name, in order, the parts of the digestive system with 85%
accuracy.
Students will be able to summarize the class discussion on important study skills after viewing the powerpoint
presentation.
Working in groups, students should be able to categorize the contents of their group's box.
After listening too and discussion "The Hundred Penny Box" the students should be able to create a new ending for the
story.
After viewing the video, the students should be able to judge the use of chemical warfare.
NOTE: Be sure to read Chapter 13 pages 398 407 of your textbook. This will help you write a correct learning
objective.
