aims is to consider them as statement of societal
expectations and desires.
Aims are broadly phrased statements of
educational intent .
Aims states what is to be hopeful
achieved by the curriculum.
Aims are general because they are
general level of education and by society.
Aims are long term and developed at a
system level.
GOALS

-ted towards st, achievement by emphasizing
content and skill.
Goals are also considers as the ways
institutions and organizations within society
facilitates the achievement of educational aims.
Goals medium to long term. they imply
and state preferences,values,judgements about
the directions in which educational activities might
go.
OBJECTIVES

or groups of teachers, within the school or
groups of educators within an institution.
They are short in nature, may
cover a lesson, a day, a week, a term or a
Semester. They are SMART.
The objectives can be used to
Plan the learning opportunities of the pupils and
to devise means of assessing the context to
Which the pupils have achieved the objectives.
The Classification Of
Objectives
The classification scheme is known as
Taxonomy of educational objectives. In
which three domains are identified;
(1) The Cognitive
(2) The Affective
(3) The Psychomotor
The Cognitive Domain
Since, according to present teaching
practice, most educational objectives are of
a Cognitive nature.Focused on knowledge.
The 6 major categories of the taxonomy are
frequently
clustered in to two groups: lower mental
functions and higher mental functions
(Bloom et al, 1956)
The Affective Domain
Emphasizes feelings, emotions and the
degree of acceptance or rejection of a given
Phenomena. Attitudes, values and interests
are types of Affective behaviors.
(krathwohl et al,1964)
The Psychomotor Domain
A classification scheme of psychomotor
skills has been developed by Dave(1969).
The scheme is based on the concept of
co-ordination between psychic and
muscular actions & between different
muscular actions performed by various
parts of the body.
