Melissa Johnson's List: Goals, Outcomes, Objectives, etc

• The course goals are broad statements of what the students will be able   to do when they have completed the course.
• "The goal is where we want to be. The objectives   are the steps needed to get there."

• One thing a computer will never do is teach. Kids pushing buttons   doesn’t constitute learning. Social interaction makes good learning.
• Learning is something that happens between two people.
• To know is not   enough—you must be able to apply knowledge and demonstrate it in context.

  • see sticky below: understanding the concept vs. understanding the concept AND when to apply it.
• Because the   teaching method emphasized learning the procedure for creating formulae   in fields, rather than how to use the database, they "knew"   the material, but were not able to apply it.

  • nullYou can teach the student and they will understand the concept, but they have to be able to also understand when to implement the concept. -- 2009-02-19
    It is not enough to teach just the concept. You must teach when/how to implement. -- 2009-02-19
