Check your Knowledge: identifying the components of a performance-based learning objective
As we have learned, a well-written action-based objective must have the following parts:
1. Performance — answering the question: What will students be able to do? and has an action-based verb which describes an observable, measurable behavior, or skill.
[Learner will describe how to enter the highway using an on-ramp]
2. Condition — answering the question: How/under what conditions will students be able to do it?
[Given a map of the U.S., learner will describe how to get to N.Y.C. from Boston.]
3. Criteria — for determining success. Answering the question: How well will students be able to do it and what will be the minimum level of evidence/achievement in order for student’s performance to be acceptable?
[Given a map of the U.S., learner will describe how to get to N.Y.C. from Boston
with no errors.]
In the questions below, please identify the components in red [performance, condition or criteria] found in the following performance-based learning objectives.
