1. Objectives & Outcomes are distinct concepts. Blurring of the two may create significant issues for faculty and institutions regarding curriculum, assessment, and accreditation.
2. Strategies exist for the development of effective objectives and effective outcomes. Two caveats. First, when using Bloom's Taxonomy as a strategy, remember that it's a taxonomy *not* a heirarchy. Second, outcomes written with a focus on knowledge and comprehension are arguably inappropriate for *many* college courses.
3. Given effective objectives and outcomes, assessment becomes the focus. A framework exists to facilitate continuous improvement of assessment methods.
16. Effective OUTCOMES Demonstrate proficiency in the use of word processing, spreadsheet, database, and presentation applications. Knowledge, skill or ability within discipline Focus 5-8 outcomes on content of course Frame potential objectives & assessment Allow flexibility Observable behavior

Often misapplied. It is NOT a heirarchy of skill level; it is a taxonomy. (create/insert graphic – separate slide)Time and time again, I’ve heard faculty teaching lower division survey courses suggest that students need knowledge & comprehension before they move on to higher order thinking.True… BUT… a trip through the taxonomy can and should be iterative within a course – each topic or module could/should engage all levels…There’s cognitive exercise and the proficiency at which you perform that exercise. Same true of the other dimension as well – give example of 4th grader – Texas History and jumping jacks.Why?
Knowledge for Knowledge sake not good enough anymore.Arguably, NO course outcome should be written at understand or remember.
