Before you prepare instruction, it's important to be able to clearly state what the desired outcomes of that instruction should be. In Preparing Instructional Objectives, you'll learn the characteristics of well-stated objectives, how to derive suitable objectives, and how to write objectives to match the instructional results you are seeking to achieve.

Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Preparing Instructional Objectives is the best-selling book ever written on this subject, and is part of the Museum of Education's Books of the Century list.
From the Author
If you don't know where you're going, the best-made maps won't help you get there. Similarly, without a way to communicate your instructional objectives to others:
- You won't be able to decide which instructional content and procedures will help you accomplish your objectives,
- You won't be able to create measuring instruments (tests) to tell you whether your students have become competent enough to move on, and
- Your students won't be able to decide for themselves when to stop practicing.
If you care about developing and/or delivering instruction that will give your students the skills and knowledge important for them to have, then this book is for you.

Format:Paperback
This book is a quick and enjoyable read. The content is very easy to understand. Through the use of humor and skill testing questions, Mager has made learning fun! As a student, I survived many of the poorly written objectives that Mager describes in this book. It was nice to realize I wasn't the problem...the objectives were! I look forward to using this guide to develop clear, concise objectives so students can focus more on the joy of learning and be more successful at it.

Format:Paperback
Written by the patron saint of trainers everywhere, Robert Mager provides a quick, humorous and easy-to-understand read in what is the heart and soul of training--objectives.
This book offers the readers choice solutions or answers. The reader then turns to the page choice to see if she selected the right choice or not.
Another essential about this book is besides being less than an afternoon read, it is essential to review time and again when you are writing instructional objectives.
Buying this should be one of your objectives!

As a graduate student in an education masters program, I found this book to be essential for writing instructional objectives. My professor suggested it, and it was a great recommendation.

This book taught me nothing. Seriously reading the back cover to this 180 page paper weight was more information than was covered in the book. Read more
