Competencies Learning
Aim of Education Curriculum Goal
Outcomes
• This progression shows how broad educational
aims are distilled into specific curriculum goals,
which are then broken down into competencies
that students need to acquire. Finally, these
competencies translate into measurable learning
outcomes.
1.Educational Aims (Broad Vision)
Example: Develop students' ability to communicate effectively in
English.
2. Curriculum Goals (Specific Objectives)
Example: Students will understand and interpret various texts in
English.
3. Competency (Skills and Knowledge)
Example: Develop reading comprehension skills to analyze and
interpret information from texts.
4. Learning Outcome (Measurable Achievement)
Example: Students can read and comprehend a grade level text,
answering questions that demonstrate understanding of the main
idea, details, and inferences.
LO vs Objectives
• Learning Outcomes
• Learning outcomes are statements that describe
what learners are expected to know, understand, and
be able to do after completing a learning process.
They are typically written in measurable terms and
reflect the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that
students should acquire. Learning outcomes focus on
the end results of the learning process.
• Objectives
Objectives are specific, short term goals that
outline what will be covered in a particular lesson or
unit. They guide the teaching process and indicate
what the teacher intends to achieve in a given
timeframe. Objectives are often written in a way that
describes what the teacher will do to facilitate
learning.
• Focus and Scope:
• Learning Outcomes: Focus on what the
learner will achieve by the end of a course or
program. They are broader and encompass long
term achievements.
• Objectives: Focus on what will be taught or
covered in a specific lesson or unit. They are
more narrow in scope and detail specific
instructional goals.
• Measurability:
Learning Outcomes: Are often written in
measurable terms to ensure that the success of
learning can be assessed. For example, “Students write
an essay with clear arguments and supporting
evidence.”
• Objectives: May or may not be measurable. They
might state what the teacher will cover in the class
but don’t always indicate how this will be measured.
For example, “Introduce students to essay writing
techniques.”
• Role in Curriculum Design:
• Learning Outcomes: Serve as a guide for
curriculum development and assessment. They
ensure that the course content aligns with the skills
and knowledge students need to acquire.
• Objectives: Guide daily or weekly lesson
planning. They help teachers structure their classes
and ensure that each lesson contributes toward
achieving the overall learning outcomes.
Examples in English Language Learning:
• Learning Outcome: “By the end of the
course, students will be able to analyse and
interpret literary texts, identifying key themes,
character development, and stylistic elements.”
• Objective: “Students will be introduced to
the concept of theme in literature and practice
identifying themes in short stories.”
Timeframe:
• Learning Outcomes: Are aligned with the
entire course or program. They are the end goals
that guide the entire learning experience.
• Objectives: Are short term, often aligned
with individual lessons or units, and serve as
stepping stones toward achieving the learning
outcomes.
• Conclusion
• While both learning outcomes and objectives are
essential in the educational process, they serve
different purposes. Learning outcomes focus on what
students will achieve and are aligned with long term
goals, while objectives provide a roadmap for daily
instruction. In English language learning, clearly
defined outcomes ensure that the curriculum
develops the necessary skills, while well structured
objectives ensure that each class contributes to these
goals.
