Word Choice: Writing Effective Instructional Objectives
An additional consideration is good word choice. Poor word choice often leads to poorly written objectives; many words do not communicate specific instructional intent. They are often vague.
- A vague objective is: The student will learn about instructional objectives. A better objective would be: The student will construct 5 well-written instructional objectives for an instructional unit.
