No matter how innovative and creative, teaching strategies can be ineffective if the behavioral objectives are not introduced to the learners. The students must have the necessary idea of which direction they are heading. Before a decision can be made in selecting a content to be taught or choosing the teaching methods and instructional materials to change a learner’s behavior, the educator must first decide what the learner is expected to accomplish (Bastable, 2019). Behavioral objectives communicate the educator’s aim by providing students the awareness of what is expected of them. An example of a well-thought-out lesson in the nursing field is “How to Manage Diabetes Through a Healthy Diet.” After identifying and assessing learner’s needs for an effective learning process, the educator must develop realistic objectives and create good learning strategies. The following objectives are chosen to guide learners in accomplishing a positive behavior change:
· Differentiate between the term goals and objectives.
· Distinguish among the three domains of learning: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.
To differentiate goals and objectives are tricky as they are usually used interchangeably.
According to Bastable 2019, a goal is a final outcome to be achieved, while an objective is a specific, concrete, one-dimensional behavior. Goals look at the big picture, and objectives are the measurable steps to achieve goals. When learners know their goal, they are on the same page, focused, and motivated in getting it achieved faster. If your goal is your compass guiding you in the right direction, your objectives are your map, providing specific steps to get you there (Kahansky, 2021).
To accomplish an effective learning process, it is vital to familiarize the three learning domains. Learning is a process and does not isolate one dimension from another. Cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains are interrelated and function simultaneously. Learning processes in the cognitive domain include a hierarchy of skills involving processing information, constructing understanding, applying knowledge, solving problems, and conducting research (Hoque, 2017). Learning is not just about mental skills and knowledge acquisition. There are areas that we deal with learning emotionally, cultivating our feelings, attitudes, and behaviors. The affective domain focuses on these areas of learning. This domain involves the internalization of feelings that generates awareness to guide behavior. On the other hand, the psychomotor domain utilizes motor skills and coordinates them (Hoque, 2017).
To accomplish the objectives stated above in managing diabetes through a healthy diet, the educator must identify realistic goals and clear objectives. The goal would be a target range of blood sugars managed non-pharmacologically through taking steps, such as a healthy diet that includes less sugar content and more fruits and vegetables. These steps are the measures taken to reach the objectives. An understanding (cognitive) of the importance of controlling blood sugars sets an emotion (affective) that motivates the individual to eat healthily. Moreover, the development of skills (psychomotor) in preparing healthy foods can result from the understanding and feelings of achieving the goals and objectives of controlled blood sugars.

Lesson plans assist the educator in meeting the objective for the class. Thus, they are used as a method of preparation for the classroom experience. Utilization of a lesson plan enables the educator to design activities to meet the class goals and plan for the allocated resources required to ensure active participant of both the student and the teacher in the learning experience. A well-defined learning objective should in a measurable way, outline the skills, knowledge and attitude learners will gain from the lesson plans (Chatterjee & Corral, 2017).
Past learnings have allowed me to accomplish the objective of avoiding common errors in writing objectives. A well written objectives should give the learner clears statements about what is expected versus stipulating multiple expected behaviors for a single objective. To ensure the implementation of effective objectives for the intended learner, I use the specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely (SMART) rule guidelines (Bastable, 2019).
I am also able to distinguish among the three domains of learning cognitive (knowledge), affective (attitudes) and psychomotor (skills).
· The cognitive domain involves the development of our mental skills and content knowledge (Hoque, 2016).
· The affective domain involves our emotions, feelings, and attitudes (Hoque, 2016).
· The psychomotor domain is comprised of utilizing motor skills and coordinating them. It’s comprised of seven categories, Perception, Set, Guided Response, Mechanism, Complex Overt Response, Adaptation and Origination (Hoque, 2016).
