Content

A good learning outcome should be S.M.A.R.T:

S - Specific - what the learner will be able to do

M - Measurable - can be observed by the end of the training session

A - Attainable - for the participants within scheduled time and specified conditions

R - Relevant - align with the needs of the participant and the organization

T - Timeframe -  achievable by the end of the training session


To achieve a S.M.A.R.T Learning Outcome, the following 3 elements should be included:

  1. Condition - the condition under which the student will perform the described behavior

  2. Behavior - a description of a specific, observable behavior

  3. Degree - the degree indicates the desired level or degree of acceptable performance



Here is a simple example:

At the end of the lesson, learners will be able to:

i. Write 3 learning outcomes by referring to the taxonomy table given by the tutor



Learning, however, is not a purely cognitive function. Bloom (1956) identified three domains of educational activities or learning which is important for student to develop in a holistic manner. These domains are

i. Cognitive: mental skills (Knowledge)

ii. Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (Attitude or self)

iii. Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (Skills)


And each domain can be subdivided from simplest to the most complex behaviour.
