Abstract

The process of education begins with statement of objectives, which leads to choosing appropriate teaching-learning strategies and thereafter deciding means to assess attainment of these objectives. It means that teaching methodology and assessment are heavily dependent on learning objectives and if they have not been precisely stated, then the other two processes are unlikely to be appropriate. The learning or instructional objectives can be divided into three basic categories, objectives related to development of knowledge, objectives related to practical skills, and objectives related to inculcation of attitudes. When framing learning or instructional objectives, it should be considered that these should have three specific elements, specific performance of the student, conditions under which this performance is expected, and the minimum acceptable level of performance. It is essential that a learning objective is relevant to the health needs of the society, is feasible within the given constraints and restraints of time, faculty and university requirements, and is measurable objectively.
