Writing lesson objectives

At the moment of planning a lesson teacher need to take into consideration what they want learners to achieve and the kind of objectives. The reason of writing lesson objectives for a class is because teachers need to provide instructions, guidelines for assessment or to convey instructional intent to others.

We have three kind or types of objectives:

1.      Cognitive: understanding or awareness. For example: list and explain

2.      Psychomotor: special skills.

3.      Affective: attitudes or relationships

Given that, it is necessary to write the objectives of the lesson according to the level of students, their needs and age. Furthermore, we do not have to make our objectives time consuming or so simple because those objectives have the purpose of making students understand in a clear and unambiguous way.

Finally, I will consider these tips at the moment of writing the lesson objectives of my future classes since I need to be focus on students’ comprehension rather to achieve my own goals.
