My Learning Episode Overview

Intended Learning outcomes/ lesson objectives set the direction of the lesson. For them to serve
as a guiding star they must be SMART and formulated in accordance with time-tested principles.

My Intended Learning Outcomes

In this Episode, I must be able to:

 Identify the guiding principles on lesson objectives/learning outcomes applied in instruction

 Determine whether or not lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes served as guiding star in
the lessons observed
 Judge if lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes are SMART

My Performance Criteria

I will be rated along the following:

a. Quality of my observations and documentation,

b. Completeness and depth of my analysis,
c. Depth and clarity of my classroom observation-based reflections,
d. Completeness, organization, clarity of my portfolio and
e. Time of submission of my portfolio.

My Learning Essentials

Here are guiding principles related to lesson objectives/learning outcomes:

1. Learning objectives/intended learning outcomes set the direction of the lesson. Begin with the
end in mind. It is beneficial if teachers share the lesson objective/s or intended learning
outcomes with the learners and the learners make it/them their own learning objectives or
outcomes.
2. To make lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes very clear they must be made Specific,
Measurable, Attainable, Result-oriented and Time bound (SMART).
3. For meaningful teaching and learning, lesson objectives or intended learning outcomes must
integrate 2 or 3 domains – cognitive, skill and affective or cognitive and affective or skill and
affective.

Guiding Principles Related to Lesson Teaching behavior/s which Prove/s Observance

Objectives/Intended Learning Outcomes
1. Begin with the end in mind.
1. Share lesson objective with students.
2. Lesson objectives/intended Learning
Outcomes are Specific, Measurable,
Attainable, Result-oriented and Time
bound (SMART)
of the Guiding Principle
The Resource Teacher began her lesson by
stating her objective.
The teacher is discussing her lesson objectives to
their learners.
Her lesson objective is SMART, because she
applies her lesson to her student’s experiences,
and after her lesson she gives activity to them.

Grade/Year Level: VI Subject Area: P.E Date: June 30,2017

Guiding Principles Related to Lesson Teaching behavior/s which Prove/s Observance

Objectives/Intended Learning Outcomes
Begin with the end in mind.
Share lesson objective with students.
Lesson objectives/intended Learning Outcomes
are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Result-
oriented and Time bound (SMART)
of the Guiding Principle
E.g. The Resource Teacher began her lesson by
stating her objective.
The resource teacher discusses his lesson
objectives to his learners.
He has SMART lesson objectives, because his
lesson focuses the learning outcome of the
learner.

Resource Teacher: Lyn Lepalam Teacher’s Signature: School: Baptist Voice BasicEd

Grade/Year Level: III Subject Area: Science Date: July 03, 2017

Guiding Principles Related to Lesson Teaching behavior/s which Prove/s Observance

Objectives/Intended Learning Outcomes
Begin with the end in mind.
Share lesson objective with students.
Lesson objectives/intended Learning
Outcomes are Specific, Measurable,
Attainable, Result-oriented and Time
bound (SMART)
of the Guiding Principle
E.g. The Resource Teacher began her lesson by
stating her objective.
The resource teacher gives her expectation to
the students about her lesson.
The objectives of the teacher are in SMART
form, because she focused on the lesson as well
as on the capability of her learner.

2. Ask permission from your Resource Teacher for you to copy his/her lesson objective for the day’s
lesson. Did his/her lesson objectives serve as a guiding star in the sense that the development of
the lesson was guided by his/her lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes?
 After observing the class the teacher lesson objectives are:
 To learn the basic principle of exercise
 To apply the importance of exercise.

My Analysis

1. Why is it sound teaching practice for a teacher to “begin with the end in mind” and to share
his/her lesson objectives or intended learning outcomes with his/her students?
Answer: It is significant for a teacher to have their prior knowledge and concept before they
start their topic, and to have them an adequately intended learning outcome.
2. Did you find the lesson objective/s or intended learning outcome/s SMART? Support your answer.
Answer: Yes, because as I observe the class, teacher has a specific topic, measurable for the
students that they can envision or picture what the teacher said is all about, attainable, the topic
is relevant to the learners, and time-bound that the learners not get bored to the lesson.
3. Do SMART objectives help the lesson become more focused?
Answer: Yes, because through SMART objective the lesson become focused, and the teacher
know the limitation of the lesson. She/he gave her/his attention to the topic.
4. Where the lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes in the cognitive, psychomotor and
affective domains? Support your answer?
Answer: Yes, their lesson objectives are in three domains, so that the learners learn well. And
that they can exercise their thinking skills as well as their physical skills.
 5. Is it necessary to have objectives always in the3 domains- cognitive, psychomotor and affective?
Why or why not?
Answer: It depends on the teacher as long us he/she executed the lessons well and that the
learners will learn from them.

My Reflection

Any lessons learned or insights gained from your observation focused on lesson objectives? Write
them down here. Are lesson objectives truly the guiding star in the development of a lesson? Or are
lesson objectives forgotten as the lesson develops?

For lesson objectives/learning outcomes to serve as a guiding star in lesson development, will it
help if they are SMART?

Base on my observation, I learned that lesson objectives must always have 3 domains
knowledge, the cognitive, affected and psychomotor to make the lesson objectives meaningful.

SMART have a huge impact for us as a future teachers objectives, because it easy for us to teach
the lesson and it is easy for our student to understand the topic.

Does integrating lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes in the three domains (cognitive,
psychomotor, and affective) or at least 2 (cognitive or psychomotor and affective) make lessons more
meaningful?

My Learning Portfolio

Give one researched quotation that states the significance of goals and objectives. (Don’t forget
to state your source)

Goals are not only absolutely necessary to motivate us. They are essential
to really keep us alive.

- Robert H. Schuller

In one sentence, relate this quote to learning objectives/intended learning outcomes as guiding
star in lesson development.

Goals are like objectives, the function is not only to motivate the learner
to know the lesson, and it should also serve as a guide to continue the learning
process.
