MEU WORKSHOP Educational objectives and taxonomy of learning

At the end of this session, the participant will
be able to:
 Define educational objectives and list their
uses.
 Differentiate between the types of
educational objectives.
 Differentiate between goals, competencies
and objectives.

“A process, which is to bring about desirable
changes in the behavior of the learner ”
(in the form of acquisition of knowledge,
proficiency in skills and development of
attitudes).

1. Can you list what you covered?
2. Can you list what the students
learned?
Why is question 1 easier to answer
than question 2?

The goal of a learning activity is like a
target

Aim Of Medical
Education……..?
Is to produce a qualified medical
practitioner

 The objectives are the arrows that help the learner
reach the target and demonstrate mastery

Objective is a precise point in the
direction of achieving aim
10

Why should we have an objectives?
Define the outcome of the activity
11

“Statements which tell what the student
should be able ‘to do’ at the end of a
specific learning period”.

If you have no objective, you
shoot aimlessly.

Step 1:
First create a Stem. The stem should
begin with the line “At the end of this”
and should include the name of the
particular T-L activity.
“At the end of this clinical session …”

Step 2:
To the stem, identify and add the
Audience (learner) for the
particular T-L activity.
“At the end of this clinical session, the
final
MBBS student…”

Step 3:
Connect step 2 with an appropriate
action verb that describes the expected
learner Behaviour after the T-L
activity, using the words “will be able
to”
final MBBS student will be able to
insert…”

Step 4:
Add Content to step 3. Next clearly
state specific Conditions placed on
the learner and the expected Degree
of proficiency
final MBBS student will be able to insert
a venous cannula in a mannequin in not
more than 2 attempts”

Step 5:
Use the Checklist to review whether
the learning objectives are effectively
framed

Common Errors in framing
Learning Objectives

1. Instructor performance:
Example:
The teacher will clearly explain the
anatomy
of the blood supply of the stomach.

2. False performance (behaviour):
Example:
The student will be able to have a
thorough
understanding of the
pharmacokinetics
of antibiotics.

3. False givens (conditions):
Example:
Given six weeks training in endoscopy, the
participant will be able to diagnose gastric
ulcer.

4. False criteria (degree):
Example:
The learner will be able to demonstrate
the knee jerk to the satisfaction of the
examiner.

One participant from every group will
present your group’s SLOs to the entire

[Accreditation Council for Graduate medical Education]

The habitual and judicious use of
communication,knowledge, technical
skills, clinical reasoning, emotions,
values, and reflection in daily practice
for the benefit of the individual and
community being served.

 Relevant to an individual’s job responsibilities,
roles and capabilities.
 Clinician, who understands and provides preventive,
promotive, curative, palliative and holistic care with
compassion
 They are a way to verify that a learner has in fact
learned what was intended in the learning
objectives.
Competencies define the applied skills
and knowledge that enable people to
successfully perform their work while
learning objectives are specific to a
course of instruction.

A Goal is a broad statement about projected course
outcomes.
A competency is an
observable ability of a health

integrating multiple
components
such as knowledge, skills,
values and attitudes.A specific learning objective is a brief, concise and specific
statement of what the learner will be able to do at the end of a

“New MBBS syllabus to introduce students to patients in first year
Ekatha Ann John, TNN | Sep 19, 2014, 04.07AM IST
CHENNAI: Medical students could soon have their first brush with treating
patients in the first year of MBBS with the Medical Council of India (MCI) giving
final shape to a revision of the undergraduate medical curriculum. This will be
the first major overhaul of MBBS syllabus in 17 years.
At a recent press conference in Chennai, Dr M Rajalakshmi, MCI's chief
consultant in the academic cell said the conversion of the existing MBBS
curriculum to a competency-based one is almost complete. In a move that
has raised eyebrows, MCI is also applying for a copyright, following which the
syllabus will be put up on its website.
In 2011, MCI submitted the proposed new syllabus, titled Vision 2015, with the
ministry of health, but the implementation was stalled due to wrangles within
the body. "The apex regulatory body of doctors has now revived the plan by
submitting a fresh version of the syllabus after making a few modifications,"
said a source in MCI.”
