Learning objectives are specific statements that describe what learners should know or be able to do by the end of a lesson. What do they describe?

• A. The time allotted for the lesson
• B. The textbooks to use
• C. The knowledge or skills to be acquired
• D. The grading scale

Answer: (C)

Learning objectives specify what learners should know or be able to do by the end of a lesson. They describe the knowledge or skills to be acquired, stated in observable, measurable terms so you can tell whether the learner has achieved them. This focus guides both what you teach and how you assess progress. Time allotted, textbooks, and grading scale each cover logistics, resources, or assessment criteria rather than the actual learning targets.
