Performance Objectives
Abstract:
The literature on performance objectives is reviewed under the following headings definitions of performance objectives function of performance objectives pros and cons of performance objectives and form of performance objectives. The review indicates a general agreement, unsupported by research, that performance objectives have value for learners, instructors, and designers that there is no operational definition of the term performance objective and that, although there is general agreement regarding the three formal characteristics of a performance objective, examples of performance objectives still differ greatly from one another in form. The results of six original studies are reported.
