Measureable Learning Outcomes
According to the article Presentation on Instructional Objectives, there are observable learning outcomes and unobservable learning outcomes. Learning outcomes are measured according to how the learning objectives were presented. Here I will provide three examples of measureable learning outcomes the way in which I interpreted the lesson. My objective refers to the cognitive, mental, or thought complexity caused for by the objective presented to a first, second, and third grade class. In each learning outcome, students are to either demonstrate their comprehension skills, application skills, and knowledge skills as described by educational taxonomies as presented by Bloom and co-founders. In order to develop the outcomes for my selected grades and topics the previous aspects of the cognitive domain are utilized, accompanied by my list of three possible outcomes, and three test items that support my selected outcomes.
Example 1. First grade class learning alphabets
Knowledge- the ability for one to remember, recalls, and recites information given to be retained.
Outcome: The student will demonstrate his/her ability to remember alphabets on alphabet chart by verbally identifying them in class and writing each one on paper as they are being heard in class. As well as identifying them upon sight in words and sentences.
Test item- matching test- student will match capital letters in row A with words that begin with capital letters in row B by drawing a line to each.
Column A Column B
1. A 1. Mittens
2. C 2. Lion
3. M 3. Apple
4. Z 4. Candy
5. L 5. Kite
6. K 6. Zebra
Example 2. Second grade class learning shapes
Application- the ability for students to demonstrate awareness of shapes learned from previous grade.
Outcome: The student will demonstrate knowledge of shapes by drawing them on paper, and circling them on worksheet.
Test item- true-false- students will reveal knowledge of shapes by identifying them while answering questions by placing either a T or F on the appropriate line provided.
_F_ Circles have four corners
_T_ Triangles have three sides
_T_ Stars have five points
_F_ A square is round
_T_ A stop sign is an octagon
Example 3. Third grade class learning weekly spelling words
Comprehension- requires a student to understand information, as well as recall and rewrite it according to his or her own understanding.
Outcome: By the end of the week, students will be able to recognize, spell, and write words given for unit with 85% percent accuracy.
Test item- multiple choices- student will place a C in the space that represents the correct spelling of a given word. An essay item test will also accompany spelling test.
1.___ miten 2. _C_ Kitten 3. ___ wagone 4. ___ Airplan 5. ___Orage
_C_mitten ___ Kiten ___ wagon _C_ Airplane ___ Orang
___mittn ____ Kitchen _C_ wagon ___ Airplain _C_ Orange
Essay item
Provide a paragraph using three of the five spelling words from this week’s list.
Last week my dad brought me a pretty, orange kitten. I rode the kitten around all day in my big, red wagon. I enjoyed using my wagon because I have not played with it in a while. I also liked seeing the look on my kittens face when it was scared. I saw the hair on its orange back stand straight up. My mom yelled, “Stop scaring that kitten like that before it runs away and never comes back”.
