Depending on what you want students to be able to DO at the end of a lesson, it will help us choose the right action verb for writing an instructional objective.

Instructional objectives often will depend on the overall curriculum plan and the level of the learners, but it also involves the teacher’s influence in designing a lesson.

Do you ever have trouble writing learning objectives for your lessons? Often we know what we want our students to learn, but more importantly, we need to decide what we want our students to be able to do after a particular lesson or class.

The ABCD method of writing objectives is an excellent way to structure instructional objectives. In this method, «A» is for the audience, «B» is for behavior, «C» for conditions, and «D» is for the degree of mastery needed.

Example: -«Given a sentence written in the past or present tense, the student will be able to re-write the sentence in future tense with no errors in tense or tense contradiction (i.e., I will see her yesterday.).» The key here is to use verbs that indicate a clearly observable and measurable action. Appropriate action verbs for the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains are listed below.

Bloom’s Taxonomy of the Cognitive DomainBloom’s taxonomy of cognitive learning, originated by Benjamin Bloom and collaborators in the 1950s, describes several categories of cognitive learning.

This taxonomy was revised in 2001 by Anderson and Krathwohlto change the category names from nouns to verbs, and to switch the Evaluation and Synthesis levels in the hierarchy.

Many people also call the analysis, synthesis/create, and evaluation categories «problem-solving.»

Krathwohl and Bloom’s Taxonomyof the Affective Domain Krathwohl and Bloom’s 1964 taxonomy of the affective domain describes several categories of affective learning.
