Writing effective goals and objectives should also use the following
general criteria.
Instructional objective don't have to fit into one sentence, and trying to
make them do so can be very confusing. Objectives tell what the student will
learn, not descriptions of what the teacher will do or what process the
student will follow to learn. A series of guidelines in the form of questionnaire
is found in table 1 the checklist for Goals and Objectives below:
Another set of criteria which can be used for judging the objectives and
goals. You may check your objectives against the seven questions. If the
answer to all the questions is YES, then the objective meets the criteria.
The following section describes instruction and the criteria which will
be used for its assessment. But before doing that, let us be familiar first with
the two approaches to instruction. These are:
1. Have the goals of the curriculum or teaching plan been clearly stated; and
are they used by teachers and students in choosing content, materials and
activities for learning?
2. Have teacher and students engaged in student-teacher planning in
defining the goals and in determining how they will be implemented?
3. Do some of the planned goals relate to the society or the community in
which the curriculum will be implemented or the teaching will be done?
4. Do some of the planned goals relate to the individual learner and his or
her needs, purposes, interest and abilities?
5. Are the planned goals used as criteria in selecting and developing learning
materials for instruction?
6. Are the planned goals used as criteria in evaluating learning achievement
and in the further planning of learning sub goals and activities?
According to Hass and Parkay (1993), individual differences, flexibility
and systematic planning are criteria that depend in part on knowledge of the
different approaches to learning. The criterion questions are as follows:
The present educational system that we, Filipinos, now enjoy did not
happen overnight. It is the product of a long and tedious process of
evaluation and change. It evolved from one period to another, to the
present.. Thus, for a curriculum to be effective, it must have continuous
monitoring and evaluation. The curriculum must adapt its educational
activities and services to meet the needs of a modern and dynamic
community. Simply, a good curriculum is a progressive curriculum.
