Writing Lesson Objectives

In this topic I learned about writing lesson objectives is not as easy as it seems to be. Therefore, when teachers write objectives they have to think about their learners’ needs, age and level. Regarding this, according to Bloom’s Taxonomy it is possible to write meaningful objectives and for that reason there are guides in order to write lesson objectives. That is why; Bloom’s Taxonomy divides the way people learn into three domains. One of these is the cognitive domain, which is emphasized in intellectual outcomes. This domain is further divided into categories or levels. Furthermore, the key words used and the type of questions asked may help in the establishment and encouragement of critical thinking, especially in the higher levels. For example, an objective of Comprehension could be ‘explain’ and an example of it could be, ‘By the end of this course, the student will be able to explain Newton’s three laws of motion in his/her own words.’ As a matter of fact, as a future teacher I would like to apply Bloom’s taxonomy into my classes due that his objectives are well established and the learning will be meaningful due that I will be accomplishing meaningful goals in order to help students to acquire the language using Bloom’s Taxonomy.
