Making it very specific helps. If the business goal is to get 90 percent of your employees to correctly complete their timesheets by the end of the next reporting period after they take the course, then that's an objective that makes sense.<br /><br />The rest - the enabling objectives - are the topics/actions that you will teach to create the content that achieves the first objective.<br /><br />For what it's worth, that's my take on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10660771.post-72359018830700578902010-08-27T13:28:00.711-04:002010-08-27T13:28:00.711-04:00Taking out the clear important details and priorit...Taking out the clear important details and priorities is what we need in setting objectives,if we want a good outcome.<br />Nice article.Donnahttp://www.conferencetipsonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10660771.post-54487635568002752742010-08-12T10:27:40.606-04:002010-08-12T10:27:40.606-04:00I completed the first of three of Robert Mager'...I completed the first of three of Robert Mager's Criterion Referenced Instruction classes a few weeks ago. I was amazed at how much analysis actually goes into determining objectives -- the first three days of the week-long workshop are devoted to building the skills needed in order to "Derive Objectives" -- performance analysis, task analysis, goal analysis, audience analysis, skill hierarchies, etc. While it seems like a pain to do all that, the risk in not doing it is exactly as you described: objectives that are too vague ("understand," "know," etc.), or objectives that describe something other than a meaningful outcome.Torrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16528367989911053330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10660771.post-81766379973870432492010-08-12T07:29:38.189-04:002010-08-12T07:29:38.189-04:00I think this is a Rummler test:
