Learning objectives or competencies describe what learners will be able to do upon completion of the course.
Astronomy of Native America Course Learning Outcomes
Contents
- 1 The course learning objectives, or course/program competencies, describe outcomes that are measurable
- 2 The module/unit-level learning objectives or competencies describe outcomes that are measurable and consistent with the course-level objectives or competencies
- 3 Learning objectives or competencies are stated clearly, are written from the learner’s perspective, and are prominently located in the course
- 4 The relationship between learning objectives or competencies and learning activities is clearly stated
- 5 The learning objectives or competencies are suited to the level of the course
The course learning objectives, or course/program competencies, describe outcomes that are measurable
Evidence
The verbs used in the course learning objectives describe actions that are measurable:
- Identify (CLO 1, 4, 5, 12, 13)
- Define (CLO 2)
- Exemplify (CLO 2)
- Describe (CLO 3, 14)
- Predict (CLO 5, 7)
- Find (CLO 6)
- Create (CLO 8)
- Analyze (CLO 8)
- Distinguish (CLO 9)
- Calculate (CLO 10)
- Decipher (CLO 12)
- Collect (CLO 13)
CLO = course learning outcome
Suggestions for Improvement
Integrating knowledge as described in CLO 14 may be difficult to measure. Perhaps "demonstrate the connection of this evolution to the larger picture of European colonization"?
The module/unit-level learning objectives or competencies describe outcomes that are measurable and consistent with the course-level objectives or competencies
Evidence
The module learning objectives use verbs that describe measurable actions:
- reference (MLO Archaeoastronomy 4)
- identify (MLO Sky 2, MLO Sun 2, MLO Stars 1, MLO Archaeoastronomy 1)
- relate (MLO Sky 3, MLO Moon 4, MLO Calendars 1, MLO Planets 3)
- use (MLO Sky 4, MLO Sun 3, MLO Moon 2, MLO Calendars 4)
- distinguish (MLO Sun 1, MLO Sky 2, MLO Planets 2, MLO Library 3)
- describe (MLO Sun 4, MLO Calendars 2, MLO Archaeoastronomy 2)
- recognize (MLO Moon 1)
- find (MLO Moon 3, MLO Stars 2, MLO Calendars 3, MLO Planets 1)
- differentiate (MLO Moon 4, MLO Planets 3)
- relay (MLO Stars 3)
- delineate (MLO Stars 4)
- explain (MLO Calendars 1, MLO Culture 1MLO Archaeoastronomy 3)
- track (MLO Planets 4)
- obtain (MLO Library 1)
- search (MLO Library 2)
- document (MLO Library 4)
- characterize (MLO Culture 2, MLO Culture 4)
- integrate (MLO Culture 3)
- decipher (MLO Archaeoastronomy 4)
Suggestions for Improvement
- The module learning objectives could indicate the course learning objectives under which they fall next to them when the module learning objectives are stated in the module introduction pages.
- The module learning outcome #3 in Culture might be more measurable as a "demonstrate the connections between" rather than "integrate".
