Learning Objectives (required) & Standards of Behavior

the most common hazards at JLab Know A learning objective is a desired outcome/result of the training provided. Learning objectives are expressed in different ways according to the level of learning desired by the instructor. Select an appropriate verb from based on the table below and then type in the subject.

For example: .

A Standard of Behavior (SoB) is the actual behavior, observation, or activity that must be performed by a student in order to attain a specific learning objective. They are normally used for testing or measuring mastery of the objective. The Training Office can suggest SoBs for your review, but if a quiz or review is included in your course, enter your own SoBs that reflect the quiz questions.

As a result of completing this course, each student should meet the following learning objectives and related SoBs:

Objective A
SoB A.1
SoB A.2
Objective B
SoB B.1
SoB B.2
Objective C
SoB C.1
SoB C.2
Objective D
SoB D.1
SoB D.2
Objective E
SoB E.1
SoB E.2
Objective F
SoB F.1
SoB F.2

Glossary for Course Development
Agenda	Term in a lesson plan outlining the sequence in which topics will be covered in the course. (see Lesson Plan)
Application level	Learning objectives at this level of learning use words like apply, reproduce, diagnose, and troubleshoot. Students take information they have learned and apply it themselves to produce a result or outcome. At the Application Level, the SoB might use verbs such as demonstrate, simulate, replace, repair, assemble, or disassemble. (see Level of Learning, SoB, and Lesson Objective)
Certification	A method of determining if a skill, qualification, or course is current; can be a record, license, or document from a professional organization, service or an SME; often has a defined expiration period. (see SME)
Class	A single event or offering of a course, often including a specific date, time, and location.
Comprehend level	This level of learning is characterized by objectives using words like understand or comprehend. Students not only learn the information, but how it fits together coherently, how it fits into a larger context, and how it used in practice. A Comprehension Level objective would have SoBs that use verbs/phrases such as describe, explain, or list in order. (see Level of Learning, SoB, and Lesson Objective)
Course	An organized structured mechanism designed to teach specific new information, skills, or abilities. (see Training)
Curriculum	A collection of training courses, programs, or qualifications related to a common subject or system.
Equivalent	A course, certification, or qualification that confers the same proficiency as another course, certification, or qualification.
Event	See Class.
Integration level	The highest level of learning characterized by objectives using words like design, manage, control. The student puts a variety of learned information and skills together to deal with situations that may not have been specifically presented during training. At this level, the SoBs might require the student to actually create something, or even teach it to others. (see Level of Learning, SoB, and Lesson Objective)
Knowledge level	The lowest level of learning where students learn simple information. A Knowledge Level objective, using words/phrases like know or be familiar with, would use SoB verbs such as recognize or select from a list. (see Level of Learning, SoB, and Lesson Objective)
KSA	Knowledge, Skill, and Ability (sometimes Attitude)
Learning Objective	A desired outcome of a training course; the mastery of one or more KSAs associated with a course. Learning objectives are expressed in different ways according to the level of learning desired by the instructor. (see Level of Learning)
Lesson Plan	A written outline that includes relevant information useful for an instructor or developer to develop and/or teach a training course.
Level of Learning	The kind of learning necessary for a student to successfully perform all the SoBs associated with the learning objectives in a course. (see SoB) We use four levels of learning: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, and Integration.
Prerequisite	A certification or qualification that must be acquired before taking a course; it may be acquired by completing another course.
Proctor	An individual who is proficient enough in one or more KSAs to oversee and evaluate a student’s mastery of them; also an individual who manages a testing environment.
Proficiency	The level of one’s mastery of a KSA or, collectively, of a qualification.
Program	See Course.
Qualification	A collection of related skills, knowledge, and abilities that, once mastered, define a student’s capability.
Skill	The ability to carry out a particular action correctly and replicate it at will; generically used in place of any knowledge, skill, or ability. (see KSA)
SME	Subject Matter Expert; the individuals most proficient in the content of a course or curriculum.
SoB	Standard of Behavior; the actual behavior, observation, or activity that must be performed by a student in order to attain a learning objective. How SoBs are expressed depends of what kind of learning objective they support. The SoB must be expressed with a verb that matches the objective’s level of learning. (see Level of Learning)
Target Audience	An item in the lesson plan that identifies the type of student, in terms of skills and experience, for whom the course is designed.
Training	Learning (or the delivery vehicle for learning) specific new information, skills, or abilities. Determining what training delivery vehicle is appropriate requires knowing the level(s) of learning associated with its SoBs. SoBs for knowledge or comprehension can be delivered in a variety of ways including reading or listening to a lecture or recorded narration and can be assessed by answering quiz questions, re-ordering lists, recognizing objects, etc. All of this can be done in either a self-study or classroom setting. Teaching application and integration level SoBs is usually not that effective with one-way learning methods. Assessing these levels of learning requires that the student do what he/she has been taught to do. This is most effectively done in a real-world practical exercise or OJT. Online self-study can also be effective if realistic computer simulations are included. (see Level of Learning and SoB)
