Synopsis

A Bob Mager classic! Before you prepare instruction, it is important to be able to clearly state what the desired outcomes of that instruction should be. In the largest selling book ever written on this subject, Bob Mager gives you the tools to do that by describing the characteristics of well-stated objectives and showing you how to write objectives that match the instructional results you are seeking to achieve. Preparing Instructional Objectives is your systematic guide to identifying, selecting, and writing well-stated objectives that create the foundation necessary to reach your instructional goals. The book will help you master the essential elements of writing a well-stated objective, including how * Describe performances you expect to achieve, * Identify the conditions under which you expect the performance to occur, and * Set criteria for acceptable performance. The book also includes a new Objectives Checklist to help you distinguish good objectives from those that need work.

From the Author

If you don't know where you're going, the best-made maps won't help you get there. Similarly, without a way to communicate your instructional objectives to others:

- You won't be able to decide which instructional content and procedures will help you accomplish your objectives,
- You won't be able to create measuring instruments (tests) to tell you whether your students have become competent enough to move on, and
- Your students won't be able to decide for themselves when to stop practicing.

If you care about developing and/or delivering instruction that will give your students the skills and knowledge important for them to have, then this book is for you.
