Objective Analysis

Lee/Owens says that there are seven activities involved in performing an objective analysis: 1) Decide on domains, 2) Decide on level, 3) Write a goal statement, 4) Write performance objectives, 5) Engage in a group discussion, 6) Separate terminal objectives from performance objectives, and 7) Seperate lesson objectives from performance objectives.
When deciding on domains there are five demains to consider: 1) Cognitive, 2) Affective, 3) Motor, 4) Psychomotor, and 5) Metacognitive.
Lee/Owens says thats the cognitive domains deal with levels of discriminations, concrete concept, defined concept, rule, problem solving, cognitive strategies, and verbal information. They say that affective domains deal with levels of receiving and responding, valuing, organization, and characterization. They also say that motor and psychomotor domains deal with levels of reflex movements, basic movements, and perceptual.
When writing your goal statement you need to know what overall outcomes you want to achieve and focus your statement on thoses results.
Lee/Owens says that there are five parts to writing a performance objective: 1) Situation, 2) Learned capability, 3) Object, 4) Action verb, 5) Tools, constraints, and conditions.
Next you want to start a group discussion in order to find out what others think about your objectives. This will allow you to find out what areas you need to work on some more or clarify.
Next you want to seperate the different parts of the objective. Lee/Owens says the terminal objective comprises the situation and learned-capability portions of the performance objective. They say you separate lesson objectives from performance objective by removing the learned-capability from the latter.
