Studies in Educational Evaluation, v32 n2 p83-99 2006
The educational goals and objectives provide a reference for curriculum designers, teachers, and educators, and they are required for evaluation or accreditation processes. This article presents a systematic method to state the learning objectives and analyze the consistency of a secondary school science program developed in Spain. The method is developed through seven steps, starting with data collection and organization, followed by induction and categorization of the objectives, and finishing with an internal consistency analysis between stated objectives and the program's learning activities and an external consistency analysis between these objectives and program designers and users' perceptions.
