This monograph offers concise suggestions for drawing up instructional objectives. The essential elements of a well written instructional objective are outlined and a discussion is presented on writing instructional objectives in three major domains of learning: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. It is emphasized that an instructional objective states what the learner will know or be able to do upon completing a particular unit. Brief exercises for the reader help to clarify how instructional objectives fit into course design and how they can be employed most effectively. References are included. (JD)
