Learning Objectives
Also known as أهداف التعلم
Definition
Learning objectives are precise statements of what a learner will be able to do after instruction, expressed as observable performance rather than internal states. A usable objective names the action, the conditions under which it is performed, and the standard that counts as success. That makes it both a design brief and an assessment specification.
Compare "understand the refund policy" with "process a refund request within policy limits, escalating exceptions correctly". The first describes content coverage and gives the designer and the assessor nothing to work with. The second tells the designer what activity to build and the assessor what to look for.
Objectives also serve learners directly. Stated at the start of a module they let experienced staff judge whether the content is worth their time, which is why they belong in the learner-facing interface and not only in the design document.
