Manual for Writing Behavioral Objectives. Research & Development Series No. 119-H. Career Planning Support System.
Adams, Kay A.; And Others
Information and exercises on writing behavioral objectives and on deriving them from goal statements is contained in this self-instructional manual, one of twelve documents describing the Career Planning Support System (CPSS) and its use. (CPSS is a comprehensive guidance program management system designed to provide information for local high schools to design, implement, and evaluate an upgraded career guidance program. CPSS describes how existing activities can be brought into an integrated systematic approach for the delivery of career guidance services which would enable teachers, counselors, students, and community members to decide on a specific program to be followed.) Areas discussed in this manual include the following: (1) parts of behavioral objectives (pretest, actors, behavior, conditions, degree of success, posttest), (2) types of behaviors (pretest, cognitive domain, affective domain, psychomotor domain, less and more complex behaviors, posttest), (3) types of behavioral objectives (criterion objectives, enabling objectives, posttest), and (4) deriving criterion and enabling objectives. The appendix contains example behaviors for objectives. Answers are provided to pre- and posttests in the course of the text. (TA)
