Learning objectives help instructors in selecting content and what else?

• A. A seating chart
• B. An instructional strategy
• C. A facility maintenance plan
• D. A course budgeting sheet

Answer: (B)

Learning objectives specify the outcomes students should achieve, so they guide both what content to cover and how to teach it. The instructional strategy is the plan for delivering that content in a way that helps students reach those outcomes—choosing activities, sequencing lessons, and using assessments that align with the objectives. In other words, objectives tell you what to teach and how to teach it to achieve those targets. Seating charts, facility maintenance plans, and budgeting sheets serve administrative or logistical needs and don’t provide guidance on teaching methods or learning outcomes.
