7 U NDERSTANDING GWO L EARNING O BJECTIVES

The described learning objectives (expected learning outcome) are the foundation of the course contents and what the Course Participant performance assessment must be based upon. Traditionally learning objectives are prepared within three different domains of learning – knowledge, skills and attitude. A learning objective describes the expected learning outcome on completion of a module or a course, within one or more learning domains. If a learning objective is related to more than one domain of learning, e.g. to knowledge and skills, one learning objective per learning domain is often prepared – to enable a better understanding of the learning objective. The GWO Training Provider may apply teaching methods (didactics) that are appropriate to the course participants prior training, education and cultural backgrounds, but should always aim to provide course participants ample possibility to perform hands-on demonstrations and learning reflection.

7.1 Taxonomy

To formulate a measurable learning objective, taxonomy is used to describe the level of expected learning outcome within a learning domain. As an example, belonging to the learning domain of knowledge, to have a Course Participant name or recognize something, as oppose to have him explain it in his own words, or even apply or demonstrate what he has learned – describes different performance levels, i.e. different taxonomy levels.

Different taxonomies are associated with different learning domains, for instance:

Knowledge : such as Bloom’s “cognitive taxonomy” • Skills: such as Simpson’s “psychomotor taxonomy” •

Intellectual knowledge, mental skills and procedures

Physical skills, cognitive controlled and observable

Attitude: such as Krathwohl’s “affective taxonomy” • Attitude and feelings to the learning Selecting a suitable taxonomy level, an action verb expresses the expected behaviour of the course participant, thus describing the taxonomy level of a learning objective. Action verbs are usually highlighted in bold in this standard. The table below presents the three learning domains with taxonomy level 1-3, provided with associated action verbs applicable in the learning objective wording, defining the taxonomy level. In the GWO training standard, the learning objectives are in general described as level 2 or 3.
