2d. Using the learning objectives to align a course

Course subject(s) 2. Constructing well-formulated learning objectives

Once you have well-formulated learning objectives, you can use these to decide on the assessment and the learning/teaching methodes. Key elments here are the action verbs you have used. If you want your students to be able to analyse things, choose a type of assessment in which they have to analyse. Then choose activ teaching and learnin methods in which they’ll actively learn how to analyse. Ask yourself the following questions:

  • What type of assessment will provide me with the best information to decid whether students have really otained these learning objectives?
  • Which teaching/learning activities will help my students best to achieve these learning objectves?
  • Will these teaching/learning activities prepare the students for the assessment?
