A Learning objective is a statement about what the student will improve, change or learn on the job. It is stated in terms of measurable results. For Occupational Work Experience, the objective should be focused on the student's program of study.
A minimum of Three On-The-Job Learning Objectives are required each semester. The "Learning Objective Form" is to be used to document the objectives the student, supervisor, and instructor agree upon. The objectives must be job related, specific, realistic, measurable and attainable within the time frame of the semester. They must be within the scope of the job assignment and reach beyond normal assigned duties. Students will work with both their instructor and employment supervisor in establishing the learning objectives. Three unique objectives are required for each job site assignment.
The supervisor will evaluate student performance based on how well the student successfully meets the three established learning objectives.
The criteria and format guidelines are provided below to assist in developing the "three on-the-job learning objectives":
Well Written Learning Objectives | Poorly Written Learning Objectives |
---|---|
