40. Chapter 9 Learning Objectives

41. Learning Objectives as the basis for the teaching plan: • Guide the purpose of the plan • Guide teaching content • Guide selection of teaching strategies • Guide selection of instructional materials • Guide evaluation

42. Five factors to consider when establishing learning objectives • Educational philosophy (yours, physician, and health care institution). • What clients what to learn. • What you think clients need to learn. • Time available for teaching and learning. • Environment for teaching and learning.

43. Writing Learning Objectives:ABCD Method • Audience (who the learner is) • Behavior (what the learner is to do) • Conditions (the conditions under which the learner is to perform) • Degree (how well the learner is to perform)

44. Domains of Learning • Cognitive domain that emphasizes thinking. • Affective domain that emphasizes attitudes and feelings. • Psychomotor domain that emphasizes doing and performing skills.

45. Hierarchy: Cognitive Domain • Remembering • Understanding • Applying • Analyzing • Evaluating • Creating

46. Hierarchy: Affective Domain • Receiving • Responding • Valuing • Organization • Internalizing Values (Characterization)

47. Hierarchy: Psychomotor Domain • Perception • Set • Guided response • Mechanism • Complex overt response • Adaptation
