The objectives identified during objectives analysis are usually just a draft statement. The next step is to "develop" these statements into complete, measurable instructional objectives.
To write a complete objective, you"ll always include a behavior, or action statement. Whenever necessary, you will also describe the conditions under which the action must be performed, and standards that clarify exactly how the results will be measured. Together, the behavior (action), conditions and standards comprise a complete instructional objective.
There are several other things to consider. One is to decide what type of objective it is. By classifying the objective according to its type, you can better decide how it should be presented. Likewise, choosing the most appropriate media, training setting and time estimates will influence how the objective will finally be presented.
