Differences between educational and instructional objectives?

Answer 1

1. Instructional objectives are stated in terms of teacher’s behaviour. These objectives guide teachers to help his/her students to achieve the specific kind of behaviour the students should exhibit. A behavioural objective is stated in terms of student’s behaviour to achieve desired behaviour.
2. Instructional objectives focus teaching on relatively narrow topics of learning in a content area. These concrete objectives are used in planning daily lessons. Behavioural objective is a clear and unambiguous description of your educational expectations for students. Behavioral or performance objectives are stated in terms of an observable behaviour that a student will perform after having completed the learning activity.
3. Instructional objectives are less abstract, more specific and are behavioral in nature. Behavoura objectives are heavily depends on the purpose(s) of objectives. Different teachers adopt different way to write behavioural /performance objectives.
4. Instructional objectives are specific statements of intermediate learning outcomes necessary for acquiring a terminal behavioural objective, expressed from the learner’s point of view and written in behavioural terms. Behavioral objectives can be written for any of the domains of instruction (i.e., cognitive, affective, or psychomotor.)
5. Instructional objectives can be thought of as intermediate behaviors to be acquired during the instructional period but not the final behavior toward which the learning is being oriented. They are intermediate in that they occur between the initiation of instruction and the learner’s arrival at the desired terminal behavior. When written in behavioural terms, an objective will include three components: student behaviour, conditions of performance, and performance criteria. The behavioural /performance objectives are purposely written in a form that translates long term aims and goals into daily or short term actions.

Answer 2

Educational objectives are brief statements describing what a learner is expected to gain at the end of the course, unit, school or year. Instructional objectives are statements describing plans instituted by a teacher to ensure successful teaching and learning.

Answer 4

Educational objectives are broader and focus on overarching goals and outcomes of a learning experience, such as developing critical thinking skills or fostering creativity. Instructional objectives are more specific and detail what students should be able to accomplish after a lesson or unit, such as solving a particular type of math problem or identifying key elements in a historical event. Educational objectives guide overall curriculum planning, while instructional objectives inform lesson design and assessment.

Answer 5

Instructional objectives are what to teach. Behavioral objectives are usually how you want the students to change behaviors as a result of teaching.
