Goals and Objectives

Pete and I took a shot at developing a program objective:

Promotional materials for the VCSU Education Department state a dedication to: preparing knowledge based decision
makers and highly qualified teachers who possess the ability to:
• use technology
• communicate
• solve problems
• collaborate
• demonstrate competency as citizens in a global society


From the above statement, we inferred the following program goal:
Creating knowledge-based technology decision makers.

Which led, in turn, to this program objective:
Graduates demonstrate the ability to make informed and reflective decisions regarding the effective integration of appropriate educational technologies in instructional environments.

Its certainly a bit wordy, but I think it covers most of the Smart bases. Waddya think?

Comments or feedback would be welcome.

  1. This is exactly what I was trying to teach on Tuesday night. Dan and Peder, would you be interested in discussing your goal and objective in class this next Tuesday? One of my instructional goals is to create a learning environment where students teach each other (and learn from one another, which is effective at any level, but most applicable for doctoral learners). Thanks for taking the initiative!!
