DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

GOALSBroad StatementsGeneral IntentionsIntangibleAbstractGenerally hard to measure

OBJECTIVESSpecificPreciseTangibleConcreteMeasurable

GOAL

The goal of a learning activity is like a target

OBJECTIVES The objectives are the arrows that

help the institution, student reach the target and demonstrate mastery

IDENTIFYING GOALSA. State the definition of a Historically

Black College or HBCU.B. Provide the student with current

information about the criminal justice major.

C. Introduce the student to a new development in material science.

D. Be exposed to a new way of organizing paperwork.

Answer Only one is not a broad based goal.

A. State the definition of a Historically Black College or HBCU.

Remember this about a GOAL Every educational activity should have a

goal The goal focuses on what the student will

experience, rather than what the instructor, the VPs, directors, staff will share or do

It is a broad statement of purpose What is the purpose of the educational

activity? What is the main intention
