Learning Objectives

A learning objective is a precise statement describing the tasks necessary to achieve the result, accomplishment, skill, knowledge or behavior you wish to attain on your job, and provides the conditions for evaluating your achievements.

Learning Objectives provide the following benefits:

• They enable you to realize the educational opportunities that are available to you on the job.
• They provide an open line of communication between you and your supervisor concerning job performance.
• They make evaluation at the end of the semester more meaningful to you.
• You can anticipate a change in feelings, actions, and thinking.
• You are a predictor of your own success and accomplishments as you seek to experience real on-the-job learning.
