[bccherron3]

I am in need of good definitions for "Knowledge Objectives" and "Skill Objectives" :eek: - Can anyone help?? How would you define each??

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

knowledge objective: What the student is expected to know at the end of the lesson.

skill objective: What the student is expected to be able to do at the end of the lesson.

For example: a lesson can have a knowledge objective of the conservation of momentum. That is, students would expect to know what it is and be able to analyze its meaning. A student can also have a knowledge objective of being able to apply the conservation of momentum to solve problems involving collisions.

Sorry, I meant to say that the last example was a skill objective, not a knowledge objective. It should read:

For example: a lesson can have a knowledge objective of the conservation of momentum. That is, students would expect to know what it is and be able to analyze its meaning. A student can also have a skill objective of being able to apply the conservation of momentum to solve problems involving collisions.

Every lesson, by the way, should feature both skill and knowledge objectives.
