What is the difference between Learning Outcomes and Learning Objectives?
Learning Objectives:
- tend to describe specific, discrete units of knowledge and skill
- were useful during the 1970's and 1980's when attempts were made to describe workplace activities as specific tasks to be completed
- can be accomplished within a short time frame - still may be relevant for a class period
- tend to be statements of intent; do not necessarily suggest that the behavior has been demonstrated
Learning Outcomes:
- describe broad aspects of behaviour which incorporate a wide range of knowledge and skill
- increased use in the 1990's when workplace requirements involve broader skillsets which are transferable to a wide range of work settings
- accomplished over time in several learning experiences
- refer to demonstrations of performance
