Instructional Objectives [Page 2]

This section is divided into four slide shows

1. The three learning domains
   • Learning can be divided into three different kinds. These slides will discuss them in some detail.
   • As you proceed through the slide show, plan how you will use this information for your future planning and instructing

2. Bloom's taxonomy
   • There are two parts to this slide show: the slides and the slide notes.
   • You may need to print the slide notes so you may read them as you proceed through the slide show or vice versa
   • This series of slides provide the background for writing lesson plans and lesson objectives.

3. Cul-de-sac planning cycle
   • The cul-de-sac planning cycle indicates the relationship among objectives, and content and teaching activities, and assessment of learning (evaluation). This relationship is very important and it is often forgotten by planners and instructors.
   • There are two parts to this slide show: the slides and the slide notes.
   • You may need to print the third slide (the diagram) so you may study it while you are reading the slide notes.
   • As you proceed through the slide show, plan how you will use this information for your future planning and instructing

4. Writing learning objectives
   • There are two parts to this slide show: the slides and the slide notes.
   • There is a relationship between the print and the pictures on many of the slides. This relationship is discussed in the slide notes.

Each slide show will begin with its objective(s). Throughout the slides there are several practice exercises and at the end there are several self assessment exercises that reflect the objectives.
