OBJECTIVES OF TEACHING MATHEMATICS
INSTRUCTIONAL AND BEHAVIOURAL OBJECTIVES
Instructional Objectives
1. These are the statements of measurable learning that is intended to take place as a result of instruction.
2. These are set according to the level of students in a particular class.
3. These are classroom objectives unique to each course or subject.
4. These are derived from the terminal behaviour which the students are expected to display as a consequence receiving instruction.
Behavioural Objectives
1. These are the objectives in terms of behaviour of the students.
2. These are description of observable student behaviour related to learning.
3. Behavioural objectives should identify the following
(i) Learner - for whom the objectives are written.
(ii) Behaviour - targeted for change.
(iii) Conditions - under which the behaviour will be performed.
(iv) Criteria - for the acceptable performance of behaviour to occur.
