Planning
Steps in planning
1.Formulate Learning Outcomes
2. Select and organize content
3. Choose the teaching methods
4. Design assignments
5. Evaluate learning
level of competency expected of a student after a lecture
Learning outcomes
essential for all learners to know, value, and able to do to achieve desired level of competence
Outcome-baser education
In outcome based learning shifts the paradigm from where to where
Teacher centered to student centered
use verbs that are active and describe behavior that is observable and measurable.
Learning outcomes
Heirarchy of OBE
- program outcome
- course outcome
- learning outcome
set of competencies that all learners are expected to demonstrate after graduation
Program outcome
expected to demonstrate at the end of the course
Course Outcome
what the students learn in specific courses
Program outcome
results from a specific lesson
Learning outcomes
building blocks toward course outcomes
Learning outcomes
information stores throughout learning
knowledge
abilities that could be demonstrated after the course
skills
evaluate cognitions about things and activites
attitudes
elements of learning outcome
- intended learner
- behavior to be performed
- conditions under which it is to be performed
- expected degree of attainment of specific standards
minimum acceptable level/degree of performance
expected degree of attainment of specific standards
circumstance which performance must be demonstrated
conditions under which it is to be performed
specific activity that the learner must do after course completion
behavior to be performed
example of intended learners in medlabsci
- student
- intern
- MT
- patient
contains specific objectives of lesson
lesson intended learning outcomes (lilo)
states what a learner should be able to do after lesson completion
lesson intended learning outcomes (lilo)
stated using active verb to enable self-assessment of learners
lesson intended learning outcomes (lilo)
guide for both teachers and learners in lesson content
lesson intended learning outcomes (lilo)
lesson intended learning outcomes (lilo) should have a signle sentence of how many words
25 words or less
SMART meaning
- specific
- measurable
- attainable/achievable
- realistic
- time-bound
expresses exactly what the learner is going to perform
specific
identify deliverables
measurable
focused on the evidence a student will produce
measurable
ensure that the outcome is doable

time-bound
3 domains of learning
- cognitive
- affective
- psychomotor
knowledge and mental skills
cognitive
emotional areas or attitude
affective
manual or physical skills
psychomotor
you can choose how many observable verb/behavior in a statement of outcome
one
the sequence outcomes are:
- complexity
- domain
- topic/content
sequence outcomes from lowest to highest level
complexity
sequence outcomes that includes cognitive, affective and psychomotor
domain
sequence outcomes that includes the sequence of learning experience
topic/content
state outcomes must come from whose point of view
learner
T or F: content, methodologies and assessment doesn’e need to be aligned with learning outcomes
false, need aligned
