Behavioral Objective Defined. 1  An objective is a clear and unambiguous description of your educational expectations for students. 2  When written in behavioral terms, an objective will include three components: student behavior, conditions of performance, and performance criteria.
A learning objective identifies what behavior(s) a student must demonstrate in order for the instructor to know that the planned learning took place. Learning objectives also benefit students by helping them clarify their personal goals for a course and give them a framework against which to measure their own success.
